It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Yeahh god damn that's frustrating.
The reason for this where I'm from is that any road going vehicle has to meet a bunch of design criteria and go through a number of tests to be signed of as road legal by the state. These are strict and quite expensive so all the grey-area Emotos just dont do them and pass the risk onto the buyer by having a disclaimer "only for use on private property" or something. You may be able to get it road legalised with the help of an accredited engineer, but you'd be footing the bill...
I mean, I know people who have put lights and a plate on dirt bikes and legally rode them. It's been done before, hell here is an Amazon kit. I think That the issue is more so non legacy manufacturers not being recognized.
Michigan and Indiana are pretty lax on what you can register. As long as it has a frame number & docs from mfr, you can register it. In Indiana less than 5hp doesn't even require insurance or a motorcycle endorsement.
I'm in Canada, I think it needs a VIN where I'm from
