That sounds like a pretty crappy deal. People are trying to save a few bucks on gas so they change the laws to make you waste money again. Next youll need an endorsement to ride your bicycle.

Can't say that I disagree with the license endorsement. Riding a motorcycle is nothing like driving a car. The State just wants to be sure you have a clue of what you're doing.

Ya, I guess I can see that. Once enough people get them im sure the laws around here will change too. Usually thats how things work. These bikes will fall into the hands of enough people who drive the like idiots and will ruin it for everyone else who are just looking to save a dollar.

Don't you have to register scooters though? I went to my secretary of state and they told me I needed a bill of sale, certificate of origin, and even a customs form cause the bike was made in china. Did I just deal with a bitch there or is this true?

First note never buy one from Minipocketrockets.com they charge you 40% more and then hit you with shipping fees. If you want to go with a bike just to mess around on then I reccomend a 47cc or 49cc cag half or full fairing bike(links posted at the bottom of the page).These 2 bikes you can get on ebay as low as $209 shipped. As for the law in Michigan there is none, It is considered a scooter if it is under 49cc. You do not have to have it registered if you get stoped you comment that it is a scooter and under 49cc's is ok. I lived in Ann Arbor Michigan for 17 years and have had no problems. As for if you are looking for something a little bigger you could go with the popular x1 or x2 series bike which is bigger but 49cc w/ head lights, blinkers, and break lights, Dont forget the horn. But if your looking or thinking about going bigger and faster (do note all the bikes above I am talking about are chinese) Anyways Bigger and faster your going to want a x17,x18 or 19 there is also the x22, Now the x17 is manual and automatic so you pick, has head lights/blinkers/horn/break lights, the x18 is manual only and has the same assesories as listed. The x19 is automatic only and has both high and low beams, Blinkers, break lights and horn. Then the x22 is only automatic and I believe is a higher quality bike, I had only 1 but never had a problem with it no broken parts etc. Also all these x17,x18,x19,x22 are all 110cc. These are roughly the same size as a full size bike minus the weight and about 6-8 inchs in seat hight. Next on the road is the r22 or the phoniex is a 125cc full scale bike has manual only and goes about 70mph very nice bike, They have a bigger bigger also consider a super pocket bike is there 200cc pocket bike still the r22 but in the series. These are around $1500 so I wouldnt consider buying them just buy a real bike!!!!

Oh also If you want to know about the good good italian pocket bikes like grc mini moto, or polini, or blata usa and your looking to spend a minimum of $1000 let me know I will be more than glad to tell you more.

Here are some good deals on bikes and here are what the pictures look like Hope you find what you are looking for!

For what its worth, I would NOT drive a 49cc on streets. For one thing, they don't seem to be fast enough to keep up with the slowest of traffic, and second, they are so small I'd be terrified that the other traffic wouldn't see me. If you just want it to dick around on, have fun though.
