Bashans are EPA/DOT certified as a 'highway' certified bike (all the models--they have one certification for 5 models).

Hawks are EPA certified as off-road bikes. Many states that plate bikes based on street equipment will plate these because they have all street equipment, but those states that go off the EPA/DOT list will not plate these (New Jersey comes to mind)

Which brings me to California--California has its own CARB certification above and beyond the EPA, so many manufacturers do not go the extra step.

Bashans are 49 state certified by the federal gov't.

I believe that Nebraska has had success Hawk certifications.
