Is it possible to move around the city on a motocross bike

To date, created a wide variety of motorcycle technology. It is intended for various purposes. Cross-country motorcycles belong to the category of sports.

The cross-country motorcycle was designed not for driving on highways, but for driving on rugged types of terrain. It is used to ride on specialized areas for this, where racing competitions are organized. Any motocross bike is a sports attribute. It cannot be registered with local authorities. You can only get a passport for it as a sports equipment.

Cross-country motorcycles are designed so that they can be used exclusively for racing purposes over rough terrain. Typically, this motorcycle has an engine capacity of 550 cubic meters.

There is no electrician installed on motocross bikes. They do not even have headlights. Also, they are not installed speedometers, starters and many other elements inherent in other types of motorcycles.

Cross-country motorcycles have a number of features that distinguish them from other types of motorcycle technology. Here are just some of them:

• the absence of different kinds  signals. They do not give any sound or light signals.
• very loud noise that makes the motor. Only because of this it is worth thinking about, and is it possible to move around the city streets on a cross-country motorcycle?
• the seat is not adapted to fit another person on it. It is very narrow and uncomfortable. On it only the driver can balance while driving.

On a motocross bike, you can only move on soft ground. In the conditions of urban roads such moto technology can withstand the trip. However, after that you have to do wheel repair. The structure of the tires is such that they can only withstand driving on soft ground, and not on asphalt.

Important:   motocross motorcycles are delivered to the venue of racing competitions with the help of specialized equipment.

Cross-country motorcycles are unique vehicles. They were designed specifically for racing, but not for normal driving in the city. Therefore, the answer to the question: is it possible to ride a cross-country motorcycle in the city is negative.

There are many reasons for this:

• tires on motocross bikes while traveling on city streets can quickly wear out. In the hot season, they become thin very quickly. Not everyone has the ability to change them too often.
• Rubber is absolutely not prepared for movement on urban roads, covered with asphalt. Because of this, there may be problems with timely braking.
• the motor and all other elements are not adapted to city driving,
• even the smallest pieces of glass or other objects on the drogues can pierce the wheels of a cross-country motorcycle.

This is not all the reasons that do not allow to move on a motocross bike through the city streets. There are a number of features that do not allow you to legally move through the city streets on such a vehicle. They are related to documents. Owners of cross-country motorcycles are not able to put their vehicle on the account in the traffic police department at the place of registration. This is due to the fact that any motorcycle of the cross type belongs to the category of sports equipment.

« Is it possible to ride on the pitbike around the city?“Quite a common question from people who want to transfer, for example, from a scooter to a pit bike as the first motorcycle with a manual box, or wanting to light in the city, but who are afraid of vehicle evacuation and problems with cops.

Let's take a closer look at this issue.
  To begin with, it all depends on the engine size. As we all know, if the volume of the engine does not exceed 49cc and the design speed of movement does not exceed 50 km / h, then the right to control such a vehicle is not necessary (until it is necessary). Pitbayki with an engine capacity of 50 cu. see is available, as a rule, it is the youngest models. Most of them are automatic grip and landing is designed more for children and adolescents, so such devices are not valuable for us.

All “adult” pitbikes are equipped with engines from 110 to 160 cu. cm., you can buy them in the Pitbike store (there are tuning kits that increase the volume to 200 cubic cm.), and here the thing begins, by law to control such a device on the roads common useTwo things are needed:

1. Driver has category A rights
2. Vehicle registration

And if problems with the first paragraph as a whole should not arise, then with the second one there will be plenty of them. In order to put the vehicle on the account, at least a technical passport is required, issued by the manufacturer, which is NOT attached to any pitbike, and as a maximum - the presence of lighting and road tires. Thus, even if a respectable owner wants to legalize his vehicle to move on public roads, he will fail. Since when acquiring a pit-bike you only get a sales contract, in which it is written in black and white that equipment is not intended for public roadsthen it turns out the pit bike is a sport inventory. To confirm the ownership of the property which is enough to have a paid invoice (check) and the contract of sale. In addition to this, many engine manufacturers deliberately indicate the engine volume by knocking it out on the cooling edge of the cylinder.

What will happen if with these papers and the “stigma” on the engine you get to the gays in the city, I do not dare to say. But would not recommend to do so. There are two opposing views on the subject of the legality of movement on sport inventory on public roads (in the city) without rights, with quotes and excerpts from the traffic rules and code, I will give them below.

1. For a ride on a krozache in the city threatens a parking lot and a fine of 2500 rubles.

A “motorized vehicle” is a vehicle, other than a moped, driven by an engine. The term also applies to any tractors and self-propelled machines.

2.1. The driver of a motor vehicle must:

2.1.1. To have with you and at the request of the police officers to transfer to them for verification:
  - driver's license for the right to drive a vehicle of the appropriate category, and in case of withdrawal in the prescribed manner driver's license  - temporary permission;
  - registration documents and a pass on state technical inspection for this vehicle, and, if there is a trailer, for a trailer;
  - a document confirming the ownership, or use, or disposition of this vehicle, and if there is a trailer - and the trailer - in the case of driving a vehicle in the absence of its owner;
  - in established cases, the waybill, license card and documents for the cargo being transported, and when transporting bulky, heavy and dangerous goods - documents stipulated by the rules for the transport of these goods;
  - insurance policy compulsory insurance civil liability of the vehicle owner in cases where the obligation to insure its civil liability is established by federal law.

Administrative Code Article 12.7. Driving a vehicle by a non-driving driver

1. Driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have the right to drive a vehicle (with the exception of a driving ride) is punishable by an administrative fine in the amount of two thousand five hundred rubles.

2. Driving a vehicle without state license plates, as well as driving a vehicle without state license plates installed on its designated places or driving a vehicle with state license plates equipped with materials that impede or impede their identification, is punishable by an administrative fine. in the amount of five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one about three months.

In this case, if the cop manages to prove on the spot that you are not driving a moped and do not have category “A” rights, then the driver is subject to a fine of 2,500 rubles, with the possible detention of the vehicle (putting on a penalty).

This option should be avoided by any means, since taking your motorcycle from you is likely can't get it backsince he does not have a TCP and prove that it is you who owns it will be almost impossible!

The main focus in the dialogue with the traffic police officer - pitbike this 50 vat moped. Prove it in place - everything will be fine! I did not see any instruments for measuring the cubic capacity on the spot.

2. In order for the pit bike to rank as a vehicle, it is necessary to go through the state. commission with issue of TCP

A motor vehicle is a motor vehicle intended for the carriage of goods, passengers or equipment installed on it.

Freight vehicles depending on the device body and other design features  are divided into vehicles:
  general purpose - cars, trailers and semi-trailers having a non-tilting flatbed, equipped in some cases with arcs with an awning. Used for the transport of various types of goods;
specialized - cars, trailers and semi-trailers, having various types of bodies, intended for the carriage of goods of certain types (for example, dump trucks, tanks, cars with special platforms, etc.);
  special - car benches, cars with compressor installations, car cranes, cleaning cars.

If it is shorter, then “Vehicle” is a device designed to carry people, goods or equipment installed on it on the roads.

Summarizing: not every vehicle is a vehiclein order to become such, it is necessary to undergo certification and receive a corresponding decree from the state. commissions The fact that this vehicle is safe and meets the requirements of the required GOST. Based on this procedure, a vehicle certificate is issued - a technical passport that determines whether this car with a motor is a vehicle or not.

Otherwise, everything falls under the definition of a vehicle: a bicycle, rollers, skateboards, etc.

At the time of stopping, the traffic police officer does not know whether or not the vehicle is fully known (and will refer to the fact that you are driving a motorcycle) if you have a paper certifying that you have there is no PTS, and therefore it is not a vehiclethen fines apply to you as a pedestrian or moped or bicycle driver.

12.29 part 2
  Violation of traffic rules by a person driving a moped, a bicycle, a carrier or another person directly involved in the road traffic process (with the exception of the persons specified in part 1 of this article, as well as the driver of a mechanical vehicle) a warning or a fine of 200 rubles.

12.29 part 3
  Violation of traffic rules by the persons specified in part 2 of this article, a fine in the state of intoxication is from 300 to 500 rubles.

Total  Either you act according to the following plan and prove, on the spot, that you drive a mopedor in the presence of a full-sized crossover register a motorcycle in the moto-federation and get sports equipment passport. But in the latter case, you should not be on the road. However, as practice shows, there are a couple of tricks here: go not along the road, but along the roadside; drown and get off the motorcycle when approaching the traffic police; refer to the low funding of young athletes and the lack of a van to transport a motorcycle on track.

So what do we do?

There is a way out of any situation. I myself personally move around the city on the pit bike for the second season. For all this time, they stopped me only once, and then in the column with bikers who were moving from the place of the bike-fest to the city. The purpose of the stop is the verification of documents, and at the same time the definition of sobriety. Since everything was in order - I drove on.

And now we come to the most interesting part - what was written in the documents, and what is the secret of quiet movement in the city on a pit-bike without any rights.

The most important thing is to believe for yourself that this is another Chinese-made miracle, equipped with a clone of a motor from the legendary Honda Cub or Honda Monkey no more than 49 cu. cm.

Why I consider the movement on the pitbike around the city without rights, with respect for the above rules, not dangerous for property and welfare:

1. On a small pit, no one would think that there is a cubature motor installed. There are full-size motorcycles, scooters and mopeds with the same engine size (49 cc) and manual gearbox, for which you also do not need to get right.
2. Engine from Honda Monkey. Outwardly, we practically do not distinguish between cubic volumes of 50 - 150 cubic cm.

If you still stopped the patrol.

Do not be rude, do not be rude. Motor is better not to turn off. Show the documents, if there are doubts in the engine volume, tell us in a convincing voice about the miracle of the Chinese motor industry, with a motor whose engineering age is one and a half times older than you. They will be interested in where to buy - say that a friend drove to order and you don’t know where they are still sold. To the question where is the light? - twisted scum in the yard (at the store), did not have time to put a new one. Why sound like 450cc? - Chinese crafts, saved, forward flow with an empty muffler, I myself suffer.

If your persuasion in any way does not help and agree in a good way does not work. Know that you are driving a vehicle. without state rooms, no license on public roads. Since sports equipment is not a vehicle. And the curb seems to be no longer a public road. You need to eliminate the reason for the detention - stop the engine, get off the motorcycle, roll it onto the sidewalk and roll your hands to the house.

And lastly. The vehicle can be put on the parking lot, but not the sports equipment, which includes: a tennis racket, a bicycle, chess, boxing gloves, motocross bike.

The Supreme Court of Russia refused to recognize the sports bike as a vehicle.

In one of the cities of the Tambov region, a certain citizen decided to ride sport bike along the streets of the city, reports "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". At the same time there were no numbers on the motorcycle, and the citizen did not have a driver's license at all. The traffic police officers who stopped the vehicle drew up a protocol on the driver under Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses "Driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have the right to drive a vehicle."

However, the citizen considered the punishment unjust and reached the Supreme Court of the country. There, in turn, referred to the letter of the acting deputy head of the Russian Interior Ministry in the Tambov region, explaining that “the operation of a cross-country motorcycle on public roads is prohibited, it is intended solely for participation in sports competitions, is not subject to registration with the traffic police. , the passport of the vehicle for it is not provided. "

Therefore, the motocross bike is not a vehicle, the Supreme Court decided. “Taking into account this circumstance, and also due to the fact that the current legislation does not provide for the obligation to obtain the right to control devices intended solely for sporting events, actions to control a motorcycle in the absence of the right to drive vehicles do not constitute the objective side of an administrative offense provided by part 1 of Article 12.7 of the Code Russian Federation  about administrative offenses ", - said in the decision of the Supreme Court.

____________________________________

Now add from myself, in the form of a semi-oftopik about our moto-laws:

Previously, it was possible to ride a 50cc moped without a license, but since The traffic police and the Duma had nothing to do, they made everyone get the category “M”. Yes, instead of teaching traffic rules in the 7th and 8th grades of the school with a compulsory exam and blowing the cuffs to parents, we were invented such a quest. Everyone, of course, observes him with great passion. 🙂

Separately, I note myself: I have a category "A" since 2004, and I have driven a moped since 1998. In 2015 I received new rights in which it is written:

• Experience of category "A" from July 17, 2004.
• Experience category "A1" from 01/31/2015.
• Experience category "B" from 18.01.2005.
• Experience category "B1" from 01/31/2015.
• Experience category "M" from 01/31/2015.
• Driving experience since 2005.

I especially want to mention “And from July 17, 2004”, “A1 from January 31, 2005” and “Driving experience since 2005”. Nowhere do you feel the insanity of the situation? Those. half a year of the moto-experience I simply do not count, according to the principle “we don’t consider moto-experience on the main, forget about these half a year”. Yes, that's what they said. But when I saw that category A1, i.e. I have a subcategory since 2015 I wondered: do I have two motorcycles: 200cc and 120cc - will I be considered 120cc for my insurance at the maximum rate?

I looked at the PTS of the 120cc motorcycle, PTS was issued back in the “before subcategories” era. There the motorcycle is registered as category "A". I called my insurer:

- So far everyone does not care, and you have an “A” in your TCP, but in general many insurance people will warm their hands on it.

And today we have:

• You can ride a krosoche without rights just do it, even though the Japanese 250ss is not important.
• If you have 10 years of active mototage, you can buy Yamaha UBR125 and find out that now you have to pay for insurance as in the first year (I hope, as a result, everyone in the PTS will forget to put one around the letter “A”).
• You can not ride a moped without a license. Of course, of course, no one drives. Previously, they simply “did not drive”, now they will not “ride” on motocross 250ss motos.
• You can buy a cross moped (and there are such) - then just do a mosquito nose is not undermined.

Well, sooner or later, the hole will be covered, then everyone will not care. Motorcyclists are sometimes forced to be outside the law, because motorcycle laws are written by people who sometimes even never stood near a motorcycle, and not that they would ride it.

PS: Well, yes, yes, I have less than a year experience in the “M” category. With that moped I was driving while still a teenager. And then I never stopped the traffic police, because they do not care.

P.P.S .: When I bought a 120cc motorcycle, I went to register it (I regretted it later). In the traffic police to go on the Moscow Ring Road (Moscow), where the movement of mopeds is prohibited. From afar, the motorcycle looks like a moped, and at the entrance is a traffic police post. I drove past a traffic cop, even two. Think stopped and asked why I was going to the Moscow Ring Road? Here's another. Why the moped they need.

Something like this.
