MOPED ARMY

I am fully reporting both of you.

I feel it's my duty.

Thank you. you are THEE man.

Just do it as a bike that has never been registerd in the state. That is where you start. Look here.

When I get a bike with no plate or papers I fill out form 230 then go to the DMV. After they are done sctatching their heads they tell me I have to do it through the mail.

I tell them that I bought it at a swapmeet and needed to know if it was in the computer,

When they say no, your golden to just do the mail in process.

Or you can roll the dice and send it right off in the mail but if it turns up stinky then you have your 22.00 floating in space and they will not send it back. (edited)

Last mail dmv took me months too. I always make a photocopy

Of the previous registration if I am mailing it in. I'm not sure how useful that would be but I assume it would.

I bought a bike 3 years ago. The previous owner gave me the original registration papers but didn't fill in the sold date, he just signed it. I've been riding it around like that all these years but finally decided I wanted to get a new plate for it because the one it came with is kinda janky. So I mailed in the form and a $19 check just like usual. This time though I also checked the box that said the plates were damaged/destroyed/lost. I was hoping the $19 would cover the registration and replacement plates since it does when you mark the "never registered in the state of CA box". Well two weeks later and I only got the registration paper back. I called the DMV's 1-800 number and they said I could just go into my local office as all offices in CA have moped plates. Off I went after work on Friday. The clerk didn't know about the moped plates being on hand, but she asked her supervisor who affirmed they had them "in the lock box". She demanded I fill out another form for lost plates and pay another $20. I told her WTF. She didn't care. I then paid the man and got my new plate which had a really old number which was cool. I think those plates have been sitting in the lock box for years.

TLDR? - You can pick up plates/register your moped in CA at ANY DMV office.

TLDR? - You CAN'T, retard.

Just because some person on the phone told you that you can doesn't mean it's true. I know because I tried.

When I went there, the lady told me she had never seen that kind of registration before, then talked to the manager just to make sure and she said I had to mail it.

I guess I should go back and talk to the manager again, because every knows the DMV's really smart and you should totally believe everything they say. You just got lucky.

FUCK THAT NOPED BUIsNEss I JUsT REGGED MY MB5 AND MY DT50w As Mopeds.

UPDATE: for 2018

Sent Cali DMV an old ass WAMU check for $21 (Been Chase for years now!)

They processed it within a week... still took 2 weeks to get my plate.

OYA I didn't put down my drivers license info!

Pics of your stolen bike?

Elija, post a couple pictures of your ped, we may be able to help you

Oh you're still here?

Just wanted to say thanks, and it still works--very happy :) Got this bad boy plated thanks to you!

What would it be then....a Noped? Under 50cc (electric), 30mph +/-. Cali DMV says it's an electric bike/ Moped. Help a brother out :)

Oh ok, if it’s electric and under 30 than you can technically register it as a moped in CA (Thanks to Scoot in SF).
