Do road riding here unless it is an approved route between trails. State of Maine is not quite as lax as some other states

      In the state of Ohio where I live we are required a small license plate for our offroad vehicles, looks just like a motorcycle plate. I did not want to drill holes in the plastic body so I used the cross support for the rear roll cage, that small metal flat area in the center to mount my plate. Looks like it was designed for it!

on the back, there is a mounting spot for a motorcycle sized plate, at least there was on mine, but NH uses regular car sized plates for street registration, and a sticker for OHRV

I har to fabricate a bar to mount the larger plate, OHRV sticker is on top of tailgate, in front I looped a mounting bracket around the  tubes in the grille, OHRV sticker in centered just below the Kymco emblem

   Wow....full size plates look weird on that machine, especially on the front where air flow might be reduced. My dinky plate is where your orange triangle is, and by the way the triangle bottom will fit in the slot between the seat back and the brace behind the seat back and if you flex it a little, the top will snap into the cross piece that you triangle now hangs on. I put in in that position so I could put it in and take it out without unbolting anything. It will not pop out on its own as it has to be flexed to get it out.  We used to have stickers years back but our governor decided to charge us more for the motorcycle plate and drop the sticker, but our plate is good for 3 years.

not everyone, just some of us that are qualified to get "special commercial" plates, my Kymco is owned by my company, not myself personally ,  I bought it thinking I would use it on large boundary survey projects, discovered I use it more on the street, running long backsights and forsights, moving cones and signs as my survey crew works it's way along the road.  You can't get them for recreational use

   In Ohio we technically can't ride on the road, the law states you have the right to ride along the side of the road to get to an area you have permission to ride on.  Now I live way out in the country, lots of farm equipment using our roads and they require the safety triangle rather then registration, but...so many farms use the atv and Utv for farm work that as long as the triangle is displayed and you keep over out of the way, no one says anything. I have mine registered as an offroad vehicle but with the addition of the orange triangle no one pays any attention and as long as your minding your P's and Q's the law doesn't bother you either. The neighbors use their atv and SxS to visit each other, keep in mind around the block is 4 miles!
