How do I title a homemade motorcycle?
A “homemade†motorcycle is a motorcycle that is assembled from new and/or used parts by someone other than a licensed manufacturer.
You can apply for a title in person at the Glen Burnie branch office. Typically, you will need to submit the following documents:
---* Proof of ownership – Proof of ownership is required for the frame, engine and transmission used in building the motorcycle:
------o If the frame, engine and/or transmission is new, the manufacturer's certificate of origin is required.
------o If the frame is from a used vehicle, a title for the vehicle in your name or a title that has been properly assigned to you is required.
------o If the frame is from a salvaged vehicle, a salvage certificate in your name or a certificate that has been properly assigned to you is required.
------o Other documents that may establish ownership are:
------------+ Registration document and bill of sale – ONLY if the state from which the frame was obtained did not issue a title (usually because of the vehicle’s age).
---* Application – You may use either the back of the Maryland title or the Application for Certificate of Title to request the new title (and registration, if applicable). When the Maryland title is used as the application form, complete the section entitled Application for Title and Registration.
---* Proof of purchase price – You must submit the bills of sale and/or receipts for all parts and labor. The MVA may require that your proof of purchase documents be notarized.
---* Odometer disclosure statement - You may use the manufacturer’s certificate of origin or the title to document the mileage of the vehicle. A separate odometer disclosure statement may also be submitted.
---* Application for Assigned Vehicle Identification Number (if applicable) - A new vehicle identification number (VIN) may be assigned to the completed motorcycle. The Maryland State Police will install the new VIN plate after they have inspected it.
---* Motorcycle Equipment Certification - You must certify that the motor has a rating of more than 1.5 brake horsepower and a motor capacity of at least 49cc.
---* Maryland safety inspection certificate - A safety inspection is required if the vehicle is being registered at the same time (most cases).
Your title will be mailed to you. If you also register the vehicle (most cases), your registration card, license plates and expiration date stickers can be provided immediately when you apply in person to the MVA; otherwise, these items also will be mailed to you.

Just what are moped e-bikes? Whilst there is no precise definition – they are a category that has only really come to the fore recently, due to their increasing popularity – there are certain telltale design features on these bikes.
Moped-style e-bikes look to combine the essential e-bike characteristics of having pedals and a relatively low-powered electric assist motor system with many of the comfort and convenience features of mopeds or other types of typically gas-powered motorbikes. That often means a bench seat (that may also be able to accommodate a passenger and so rear footpegs may also be present), motorcycle-grade suspension and tires plus lighting features like a full-on headlamp or even turn signals.

So why would anyone want a moped-style e-bike? No doubt to some the motorbike look is a real hook, whilst others might be fans of some of the celebrity adherents of brands like Super 73.
More than all this though, moped e-bikes have real, practical benefits. A long bench seat, suspension, and large tires all offer greater comfort than many other designs of e-bike whilst features such as an upright riding position, well-specced lighting and a powerful motor with some degree of throttle control can help them feel very safe in busy town traffic. On the downside, they tend to carry a weight penalty for all that extra heavy-duty equipment.
Like other genres of e-bikes, moped e-bikes will each have their own strengths and weaknesses; some may be better for commuting, some for off-roading….and so on, but all share a fun and funky ride feel that’s hard to define but easy to sense once you get motoring on a moped-style e-bike. So without further ado let’s take a look at what we think are the best moped e-bikes out there right now.
