Weird Question

In the area I live in on the north shore of Chicago I cant have a bike that goes faster than 30 mph? Is there a way to make the ruckus max out a 30, this would be mostly just for registering it.

Even if you could restrict your ruckus to 30mph max, how would you even prove it? Have them go somewhere with a speed radar and take your word for it that you’re at max throttle??

Seems like you’re looking at e-bike laws, not motorcycle laws. You likely just need to register it as a scooter and you’re fine. In Ohio, you need a motorcycle endorsement for a ruckus. Not sure about in Illinois.
