The title is from a government agency (city of San Mateo). Sounds like it's still possible to get them registered as motorcycles. I'll give that a shot, and if it doesn't work, plan a trip to SF to talk with Luz.<div>

Cory, obviously it wont be used for Parking Enforcement any longer, so that provision of the CVC is null. Jen's suggestion is a good one.. Is the title from a Govt Agency or Private Party?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">

Hey Silly Little Cars list,<br>
<br>
I've been subscribed to this list for a few months now, and I'm excited to<br>
report that I've finally joined the Silly Little Car brigade, with the<br>
purchase of a 2003 Go-4 Interceptor! So now the fun begins...<br>
<br>
My first question is about registering it. I know that they used to be<br>
registered as motorcycles, but looking at CVC 400:<br>
<a href="http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc400.htm" target="_blank">http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc400.htm</a> it looks like they're no<br>
longer considered motorcycles. ("A three-wheeled motor vehicle that... is<br>
used by local public agencies for the enforcement of parking control<br>
provisions... is not a motorcycle.") So if it's not a motorcycle, what am I<br>
supposed to register it as? I know that motorcycles don't have to pass<br>
smog, but I read somewhere that the Go-4 doesn't either, since it's in the<br>
no-mans land between car and motorcycle. I'm just trying to figure out what<br>
I need to bring with me to the DMV to get it registered. I have the title,<br>
so do I just bring that and see what they say, or do I need to get anything<br>
cleared by the smog board first? Any info from anyone that's had to deal<br>
with registering theirs lately would be appreciated. And if it is a<br>
motorcycle, I guess I need to know the engine block number, but I'm not<br>
sure where to find that. (In that case, do I need to bring the Go-4 in to<br>
the DMV with me?)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
- Cory<br>

She insures a lot of Cushmans, when very few people these days whom I contacted could figure out how to do it. I tried the motorcycle route, and found it to be a dead end. give Dyan a call for certain!<br>

Hi Cory,<br>
<br>
If you have it already registered as a motorcycle, just take the renewal form in and ask to renew it and don't ask questions. That was instructions from a DMV employee and it worked for me last year. If you are in SF, go to DMV on Baker St and talk to Luz. She knows all the loopholes and she's very cool.<br>
I had to get the engine block number and have the CHP sign off on it and bring that with me to the DMV.<br>
<br>
Hope that's helpful.<br>
Jen<br>
