How to make Surron, Talaria & More STREET LEGAL!

[@El_Guap]

People have been doing the same thing for ages with high value cars. You’ll notice they all have Montana plates in order to get out of the high registration fees based on the value of the vehicle. Go to RSF cars and coffee on a Saturday and you’ll see 90% of the cars are Montana plated.

[@gregskannal7235]

Sweet. Here in NEW Mexico we have legitimate privately owned branches of the DMV. Since they're private they're 100x more efficient than the government run branches. However there's an extra service fee you need to pay for that efficiency. So when it comes to OHV's they'll pass nearly anything you bring in as long as it has it's VIN(s), headlight, and tail light. All they want is they're fee whereas the state run DMV will tell you no, stop, and don't.

"The Montana LLC loophole is well known by law enforcement in CA. I had a friend who put Montana plates on his dual sport motorcycle and got pulled over by a Ranger. The Ranger confiscated his plates and fined him heavily and implied that he could have also been charged for title/registration fraud. The Ranger had even recognized the mailing address on the registration that pointed back to the Montana registered agent's office. It was a real bad day for my friend.". From Reddit. Another commenter said it works in every state but California. Anyway you look very healthy in this video which is great.

[@ClydePlatt]

I appreciate the information you provided. I do, however, have some questions. Assume you’re driving the bike in California, get pulled over, and are asked for your license and registration. What happens when the registration is to an LLC that doesn’t match your license? Do you carry your LLC papers with you? How many months can you drive in California without the requirement of registering the bike in California? How much will it cost to transfer that title and pay the fees and taxes? Will there be any additional problems with registration in California given the hurtles you went through before even though it was legally registered in Montana before the transfer? And finally, who underwrites the insurance required for an operating a vehicle in California when it is registered in Montana? Thanks.

[@williambontrager2349]

Ran into something similar in my state. My state actually does have a classification for something like this which is an electric moped. No speed limits, pedal requirements, and only a vin/incidental safety inspection is what the code says is required. Unfortunately, like in this video, the DMV had a completely different idea on the laws, definition, and inspection process they are SUPPOSED to follow. Still trying but might have to take them to court to challenge it.

[@caliofpv]

This is an Awesome work around

[@retireditguy9493]

This is what happens when you get a bloated, super majority of one party government. The problem is not only with vehicles. I have a Moen sink that has a swivel. It began to drip, so I tried to order the parts to fix it, which consisted of 2 O-rings and a nylon piece only to find out the repair parts are illegal in California and cannot be shipped into the state. California is the state that just past massive water restrictions and you would think they would be happy that someone was trying to conserve water, but the brain dead politicians just keep passing legislation with unintended consequences. The only answer is to move out of California before it totally collapses.

[@addertooth1]

I am running into a similar issue with my Motor Goat v3. My Goat has a serial number, but not a VIN. It has passed a level 3 inspection for "road worthiness" in Arizona (running lights, high/low beam headlamp, brake lights, turn signals, etc). The Arizona DMV has been struggling with this for well over a month. What I need is an "assigned" VIN. This is my major hurdle. I have vehicular liability insurance on it, which exceeds the state minimum. It is too fast to be a "scooter", and does not fit their 50cc engine narrative either. It does match a special category of a vehicle in this state called a "Motor powered cycle of 5 HP or less". This category does not have a maximum speed limit, like a scooter and moped does. The Motor Goat v3 is a 3000 watt, 45 MPH eBike. So it is well beyond the usual 28MPH 750 Watt definition of an eBike.

[@Area13ebikes]

With pedals you can usually get away with it, but yes you would need a VIN in most cases. Perhaps a question for dirt legal as I'm not sure if it's doable or not. It MIGHT be.

I went through the hassle and expense of getting my admitjet armor electric dirt bike registered in WA state. However I still can’t legally ride on the road because the state requires liability insurance, and no insurer I spoke with would give me insurance at any price. Since the make and model isn’t in their database, they refuse to insure it. To further add salt to the wound the renewal tabs cost $150 because of $120 “electrification fees.” Gas dirt bike tabs are less than $30!

[@haferman1]

I asked an attorney friend about this (I'd like to try it with my Sur-Ron), and he said it's clever, BUT: While you might be able to successfully register your Sur-Ron in Montana through an LLC, the challenge arises when you operate the vehicle in California. California requires that vehicles operated by California residents be registered in California. If you are a California resident and operate a vehicle primarily in California, you are legally required to register that vehicle with the California DMV. CVC §4000.4 states that any vehicle "owned by a nonresident and based in California or primarily used on California highways" must be registered in California within 20 days of entry into the state. Operating a Montana-registered Sur-Ron in California could be seen as a violation of this law if you reside in California and the Sur-Ron is primarily used there. CVC §4000.4(b) provides a nonresident exemption, allowing vehicles owned by nonresidents to be operated in California for up to 6 months without California registration. So just be careful, the police still might be able to cite you.

I saw a comment here about cars, etc, all using this 'Montana method', and how cops know. If you ask me, the Montana plate is a red flag for cops, telling them "This guy is riding an illegal machine", causing them to instantly light you up. To be honest, your attitude reeks of entitlement, as in, "It's got wheels and a motor. I have a right to register it". I'm not saying that most of the world is wayyyyy behind on integrating small electrics into their transportation systems, and that they desperately need to catch up... but that doesn't mean that they should just close their eyes and allow any wheeled device on public roads, and at the moment, your bike doesn't qualify in California.
