There was a thread from 2014 on advrider about a father and son who were planning on riding 'scooters' from San Francisco to New York City using a predominantly northern route which seemed to not involve interstates. Actually, they successfully did the ride and had a very entertaining thread. I stated 'scooter' because the father picked up a CT70 replica from SSR (Skyteam) which was CARB legal, and is closer to a motorcycle, but since it has a 125cc/4 speed is legally a 'motor-driven cycle by definition in California. For the son, they looked around the Bay Area for an actual step through scooter, and found a 150cc BMS for $150. The bike wouldn't start, and as the father and son walked away, the guy dropped the price to $100, and the deal was made. Alas, all it needed (according to the father and son) was a battery, and the son rode that steed from SF to NYC with nary a problem.
