I received this 100% electric motor cycle called a "Brammo Enertia" as a gift, however I'm 18 years old and only have a driver's permit, and I live in New York city. Will I need a special permit to drive this? Or can I drive this without a license? By the way I would be taking it on highways, and roads where mainly cars drive, also would I have to buy insurance for it?
Here's more info on the bike

Answer
No and yes. As of now electric bikes with pedals that can NOT go faster than 18 miles per hour have no legislative laws in NY. This may or may not change in the near future. They are considering the issue in the NY State Senate as of now. Bikes, especially those without pedals, that can go faster must be registered and insured as if they were motorcycles. You will need a motorcycle licence. Besides it not a bad idea to have insurance anyway.

Hi, I am desperate for help on this, I have spent many, many hours I cannot spare and am all searched out, I am desperate to find market details for unit sales (totals and growth rates) for Europe, China and Taiwan for gas powered scooters, electric scooters and e-bikes, also need USA figures for dirt bikes, I am trying to plug these figures into a very small part of my thesis and it sure seems no one will give this basic information unless I pay 3 grand or so to a market research company, it cannot be as hard as I am finding surely. I also need the details for reference on where the numbers came from.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Best regards
Answer
you have two sources:
1- in the USA, check out the dirt bike magazines, they usually have the kind of info you are looking for
2- Out of the US, you have to call the marketing and sales departments for each manufacturer and ask your questions. Some of them post their numbers of their web sites
good luck
