MiniMoto Safety and THE LAW
TopRight
 

It is ILLEGAL to use your minimoto on the road or pavement. Simple as that. If you want to ride your minimoto on the road, it must be registered (thus providing you with a V5 document - which means you must fit lights etc to your vehicle), must pass an MOT, and must be taxed. You as the rider must also hold a suitable Driving License, a CBT certificate, and insurance.

There is no point complaining when you're stopped on your bike that it's just a toy. It isn't. It really is THAT simple. You put the lives of yourself and others at risk every time you take your bike out on the streets, and to do so without adequate cover and protection is plain irresponsible.

Riding your minimoto on the road without ANY of the above is just as serious as doing so in a car or any other vehicle, with the penalties equal.

The MMRA does not condone nor encourage the use of Minimotos anywhere but on the track. Race Circuits and Private Land (with the owners' permission) are the ONLY places where they may legally be used without insurance, licensing etc etc. Even then, you must still conform to regulatory noise requirements - ie: no riding them after a specific time as set by the council. If you are planning for a group of you to use Private Land, you should contact the local council to find out what noise curfew you should adhere to to avoid complaints from nearby residents.

We (the MMRA) have made allowances this year to allow the cheap Chinese Minimotos to be included within our Race Series, as have many other clubs, so now there really is NO EXCUSE.

Even on the track, one should only use your bike with suitable safety gear - an ACU approved helmet, sturdy clothing (preferably race leathers), and boots are a recommended minimum.

To race within the MMRA, you and your machine must meet the guidelines set out within our Rulebook.
