Headline status
Not street-legal as sold
Motor vehicle (electric dirt bike; exceeds e-bike limits)
Florida treats a Sur-Ron-class electric dirt bike as a motor vehicle because it exceeds the 750W / 20mph e-bike limits. It is not street-legal — riding one on public roads, bike lanes, or sidewalks is a criminal offense that can bring fines, impoundment, and a court appearance. Legal riding is on private land or designated OHV trails; street use requires a formal conversion and registration.
