They are defined by State Code as "...every motorcycle that has a gasoline engine that (i)displaces less than 150 cubic centimeters; (ii) has a seat less than 24 inches in height, measured from the middle of the seat perpendicular to the ground; (iii) has no manufacturer-issued vehicle identification number." The operation of these cycles on public highways is prohibited.
