I was able to register my Lifan X-Pect in Vermont. I spoke with the DMV first to confirm some things:
- You do NOT need to send them the MCO
- They ONLY need the bill of sale signed by you and the dealer, and the registration form signed by you. The dealer signature field on the registration form can be empty
- Lifan bikes have the manufacturing company as the Make on the MCO - not Lifan - but registration was successful using Lifan as the Make and X-Pect as the model
- I was told specifically to use sale price as the tax value, NOT book value as the DMV website states
No issues, it did take roughly two weeks to get my plate, and the registration and stickers takes a bit longer, but so long as I'm legal I'm happy.
Another interesting thing with these is that the NHTSA's website pulls up the VIN as the original manufacturer make/model, while Progressive sees it as a Lifan. Who knows which one your DMV is referencing.
