EPA vs. DoT approved for street registration?

I'm confused about EPA vs. DoT approval for street registration.

Reading the "ColoradoGoose" thread, I saw statements that the Templar X is not street legal. How does one tell/know when shopping?

Looking at the PowerSportsMax Templar X page, it doesn't mention DoT, but does say (at the end of the 'specifications') that it is EPA approved.

What is required for street registration? EPA approval or DoT approval? Obviously, it would be risky to buy the bike, only to discover that it can't be registered.

Looking at the Wyoming DoT site, it seems that the VIN must be verified by an authorized agency (e.g. the police department); an official form is provided for VIN verification. I found no other mention of EPA/DoT requirements.

What's the difference(s)?

Thanks - for the enlightenment. I suspect that others will benefit from this, as well; so, I created a separate Post to address/clarify the subject?
