Front License Plate Required?

[ABC123]

Does anyone know if we will be required to display a license plate on the front bumper? My concern is that if a regular passenger car plate is issued, it will cover about 2/3s of the air intake grill. Will this greatly reduce airflow into the engine compartment? Or will air easily move around it?

not to worry it'll be reg like a motor cycle i.e. usually one little rear plate, Not living in NY for awhile That's what I had there.

I remember asking the same question. Cannot find the post or page. I sure hope DMV has pity on us.
Any size plate on back is no problem.
Any plate on front is an aerodynamic problem.
I will explain this to any CHP's if they have to ask.

Autocycles just require the one small plate on the back.... at least in the one state I checked...

Hey! They use a picture of an Elio as an example of an autocycle! (a really old picture but still...)




for those who don't want to click the site above...

"An autocycle will be issued one small license plate that will be displayed on the rear of the vehicle, the same as a motorcycle."

We will adjust and make the changes for MPG's. At least some of us will.

They are not required on any motorcycle in the state I currently live. What is the rule in your state?

I think the broader question is "Will an autocycle require one or two plates?" The Elio isn't considered a motorcycle in a lot of states... How about Massachusetts?

Example here is PA' version:

Auto Cycles are a category of Motor Cycle.
Typical motor cycle plate rule should apply.
