What classification applies to a pocket bike?

A pocket bike is classified as "98-Other" because it does not fit the standard definitions of motorcycles or other conventional vehicle types. Pocket bikes are miniaturized versions of motorcycles, typically designed for recreational use, and are often smaller than entry-level motorcycles in terms of size and engine displacement. Given their unique specifications and purposes, placing them in the "98-Other" category allows for a more accurate classification that encompasses various unconventional or specialized vehicles that don’t neatly fall into the regular categories, such as standard motorcycles or utility vehicles.

This classification helps in implementing appropriate regulations and understanding their legal status on public roads and governance, as motorcycles and other vehicle types may have different requirements in terms of licensing, registration, and operational restrictions. It is essential for law enforcement and riders to have clarity on this distinction to ensure safety and compliance with traffic laws.
