Browsing the forum and seeing scooter laws in other states, I thought I would share New York's tough law. All scooters must have a plate shown, be insured, helmets worn and headlights on. Now the interesting part. 3 classes of scooters-A,B, and C. A class are ones that can go 30-40 mph. B class are 20-30 mph. C class are 0-20 mph. B and C class. B and C class must be ridden along side the curb, and A can be ridden in traffic. I bought a BMS Patriot 150 in the spring and when I registered it I had it classified as a motorcycle. I was told any 2 wheel vehicle in NY has to be registered as such. If I was stopped going over 40 with a scooter registration, it would be impounded along with me being ticketed for driving out of class. A benefit though, was when I took my road test, I received an unrestricted motorcycle license, instead of a scooter/motorcycle license. Our road tests are not negotiating cones. They are on the streets, and require left and right circles, and figure 8s. Many fail because they don' watch for oncoming traffic. Forgot to mention, B and C class don't require motorcycle license

Does the NCY CDI work on both AC and DC? My BMS Patriot 150 is a DC system. Cannot seem to find quality performance DCI units for DC
