I have epilepsy; so I know very well what it's like to have seizures. And I also know that most if not all people with epilepsy cant get a driver's liscence until they are at least 6 months seizure free.

But my question can a person with epilepsy legally ride a motorized bicycle? I've been thinking about putting a motor (likely electric rather than gas) on my bicycle.It's only a small little suburb where I live,but there are plenty of cops patroling where I live;I been waived down and asked questions on at least a couple if not several ocassions.

So I dont wanna be riding a motorized bicyle and get stoped by a cop only to show that I only have a State ID and not an actual drivers liscence.Given my epilepsy limitations I dont really go anywhere far except the mall to catch the bus and/or train.

So is legal for an epileptic without a drivers liscence to ride a motorized bicycle? And I dont know if it helps at all but I live in Dallas,TX.
 
If I were you I wouldn't drive or operate a motorbike, it's too risky. I don't know if it's possible or not though. Call DMV and ask.
 
Why would you want to ride one if there is a chance that you could have a seizure while operating it? You could seriously injure yourself or cause an accident and hurt someone else.

If you have a bike, a bus, and a train for transportation, get control of your seizures before you chance operating a motorized vehicle.
