I would suggest contacting the site directly and finding out if the bike can be plated for the street.
To the best of my knowledge, only the CSC bikes and the SSR XF250 are plateable for the street.
If that's changed, I'm unaware.

The 2020 Apollo Deluxe (2020 model year only) was the one model year that the dual-sport was apparently CARB certified as a California-plateable bike. That being said, if you scroll down, you can no longer click on the link to the certification

There will be a Boom/Baodiao dual-sport or dual-sports (their site shows two models) that use the same 223 EFI engine as the cruiser and sport bike that Venom sells. They are apparently available in April according to Pete from Kronik Racing, and they are mentioned on their 2021 CARB certification
