This has come up several times before and I think before 2010 or 11 you could ride scooters done the trail. (scooter 50CC or more, with speeds up to 60MPH, MOpeds 49CC or less single speed with limited speed up to 35 MPH.
So, when you say scooter it goes a lot faster and has multi speed gearbox in most cases. when you say Moped it's CC's and speed limited. JUST like LSV.
It's illegal to run through stop sign also, but see it every day. So, we allow certain LSV's on paths but not Mopeds. I would say that I would NOT want be on BV or MB on 49cc scooter with Single speed gears that will verily break 25 MPH either. Also no way to get to squares if you live on the other side of the major road without going on 466A,44A, or 466 on moped.
IMO It's OK for Golfer's to speed going down the paths to and from there all important tee times, but don't let a card carrying paying person ride little bitty moped down the path that get over 100MPG. Mopeds are not the same as motorcycle just like golf carts are the same as LSV. I guess could buy mini bike or ORV and drive merrily down the trail. They need to take the multi out of the multi-M-Trails cause the restrict personnel transportation.
This is not the place to change any rules, I sure somebody knows who to call or go to try to get it heard before board. If enough go and be heard and explain the difference between Moped, scooter, and Motorcycles something might happen (I dough it).
