So I’m confused. The Yamaha eVino has a 1200 watt motor but you only need a 50cc license to ride it. BUT if I have a 750 watt motor bicycle I need a higher grade (bigger than 50cc) license to ride it. My understanding is that they treat up to 500 watts as 50cc.

While the eVino has a peak output of 1.2kW, it is limited in general operation to 580W, which meets the 600W (not 500W) limit for gentsuki classification.
I have a 960 watt Super73 RX and it doesn’t need any license.
Isn’t this just peddle assist vs throttle. If it’s pedal assist it’s treated like a mamachari, if it’s full throttle it’s treated as a gentsuki.
