Are mini choppers pocket bikes ect legal to drive in peoria az?

what are the details of any laws about them?Are mini choppers pocket bikes ect legal to drive in peoria az?
Straight from the Peoria AZ website.

Q. Are mini bikes, scooters, go-peds, or pocket bikes legal?

A. Pocket bikes (mini motorcycles) are no different then any other motorcycle and must be registered with MVD, insured and the driver licensed.



They cannot be ridden on city sidewalks or in any City parks, the Peoria City complex or city parking structures

Any public street with four or more traffic lanes or a speed limit greater than 30 MPH.

Riders under 18 must wear a helmet.

Hours of operation: 8:00 am to sundown.

Must have a headlamp visible from 300 feet.

A rear red reflector visible from 500 feet.

A yellow reflector on each side visible from 200 feet.

Must have a muffler.

No high performance exhaust.

Must have a brake.

Cannot carry passengers.

Cannot carry packages which do not allow the operator to have at least one hand on the handlebar.

Must obey ALL traffic laws.

BUT here is the catch. Pocket bikes may not pass the requirements to be registered with the MVD. Also, insurance companies may choose not to offer insurance coverage.

Respectfully, stay away from these motorized toys. Don't waste your money.

**Note, you have to be a licensed rider to operate a pocket bike**Are mini choppers pocket bikes ect legal to drive in peoria az?
Not likely, but you could contact your local police and ask them.

Added: @ Max - Thanks, next time I'm in Peoria, Az I'll rent a mini-chopper-pocket bike! (did it say if an Oregon MC license will work in Arizona?)Are mini choppers pocket bikes ect legal to drive in peoria az?
