Question for NC Buddy owners

Post by Driller »

Can any Buddy owners in North Carolina check their title and let me know what I'D is used in the "make" box between year and model?
While trying to register my Buddy the clerk could not find Genuine or Buddy in the list of bikes. The Florida title says "MOTI" in that box. No such ID in the NC directory.
I may have to take the bike to the license office for the loss and recovery officers examine the scoot and come up with anew identification code that will be accepted.
Odd they don't have anything related to Genuine Scooter Co,
Thanks!

"MOTI" = Motive Power Industries. The Manufacturers Certificate of Origin (MCO) states that Motive Power Industries manufactures the scooter (for PGO). Genuine imports them badged as the "Genuine Buddy." In Taiwan it is the PGO My Bubu. And that's why your FLA title says "MOTI," because that was their abreviation for Motive Power Industries.

Tryon, Polk County just below Saluda. Plenty of curves to be had. :twisted:
