Miniature Motorcycle Registration

Miniature vehicles also known as mini-choppers or pocket bikes do not meet Federal Safety Standards and cannot be registered or operated on public streets pursuant to California Vehicle Code (CVC) §4751(d). If you receive a citation for operating one of these devices please contact the appropriate Court for settlement of the violation.

You may obtain additional information regarding where and when you can operate a pocket bike through the California Highway Patrol (CHP) website.
