Answer 1

No..................

A go-cart, a mini bike or even a lawnmower is not "street legal" to run any motorized vehicle on the street it must at minimum have turn signals, mirrors, break lights, registration, head lights, tail lights and be insured and you need to be licensed.

The fine for using a go-cart, a mini bike or even a lawnmower on public roads, sidewalks and so forth is a minimum of $250.00 and not more than $500.00.

Answer 2

Yeah, you CAN ride a mini motor bike on the side of the road, but you'll probably get a ticket.

If you don't have a driver's license, and the bike is not licensed, you're better off not riding it on the shoulder of any roads. The only place you could legally ride it is on private property.

If your folks have a small track in the back yard you can ride round and round it till you get dizzy. If it's a somewhat large track you may not get dizzy, just bored.

If they don't have a track, maybe you can make one. If there's not enough room, maybe you could make one around the house.

If you live in an apartment, you're outta luck.
