We only need a headlight, a taillight/brakelight, and a front brake to be legal.... no speedo, or turns needed. A lot of custom bike builders will just register it as the Vin on the frame so using a old motorcycle frame/vin would confuse/work for most registrations. If you are going to have motorcycle or dirtbike power and speed you need to have proper brakes and safety equipment to safely stop the thing when you are going 45, and so it doesnt break in half when you hit a pothole going 45. This setup looks beefy enough for running around town but anything faster/heavier would need a full motorcycle frame, brakes, and dot approved wheels that wont explode going 60mph!

Isn't that aimed at internal combustion engines? “would this build use up the one-per-lifetime custom motorcycle provision?”
