Go-Peds are Illegal

Go-Peds are considered motorized vehicles under current motor vehicle regulations. Therefore, they must be registered and insured and ridden by a licensed driver.  The State of New Jersey is in the process of passing new legislation specifically prohibiting the use of Go-Peds on any street or highway.  Until that time, officers will enforce the motorized vehicle laws currently listed in Title 39.  Do not let your children ride Go-Peds on any street or highway.  The Go-Ped will be impounded at your expense and summonses may be issued.
