Someone should look up the legalities of this. My understanding is that a max power of 250 watts is allowed, otherwise its considered a vehicle, subject to all the road rules and roadworthiness conditions, and must be registered.
But on the other hand if the claimed power is only peak power ( very likely IMHO ), then branding the motor as 249 watts probably fixes the problem.
Neat gadget.

200 watts, unless they have changed it. different states have their own rules. Queensland does not allow petrol motors. NSW does allow petrol 200watts or less.
