From what the owner of Excalibur told me for street registering one of the TMEC 200's they sell in California, there are a couple ways. First, he could register one himself as under a 'dealer' plate. But that is for himself only, and since a California dealer would generally not carry a TMEC, that would be for his own personal use (since he is a dealer and a distributor).
More commonly would be for someone to buy one, register it, and move to California later on. This would most likely be true for other states.
That being said, California does not recognize all the bikes and quads that are legally street registered in Arizona--that would be a definite no-go! I would assume that only the states that also street register ATVs and UTVs would allow a state to state transfer of such vehicles. I would believe that a tuk tuk would fit into this category, too--only registerable in a state like AZ, but only transferable to other states where 'oddball' vehicles can be street registered.
The only loophole would be someone who lived in Mexico and rode into California--but the tuk tuk would have to remain in Mexico (I am basing this on Mexican plated mini-trucks I have seen driving around in border cities of California). |
