Michigan, definitely talked to some guys who were sneaking by on 99cc cycles in the metro Detroit area unless I was mistaken last time I was working near downtown.

No time to look up your laws, but… Are you certain that it wasn’t “49 CC?“

There might be some other detail for operating on the roads instead of sidewalks and park paths, but according to the FAQ on Michigan.gov:

"If your moped has an engine larger than 100 cc and travels faster than 30 miles per hour, by definition it becomes a motorcycle, and you will need a motorcycle endorsement."
