HRS §291C-205
It is illegal to own mopeds with changed or removed ID numbers
You cannot have a moped, its motor, or any part if you know the manufacturer's serial or ID number has been changed, erased, or damaged. The only exceptions are if the original number is restored with written permission from the director of finance, or if a manufacturer marks new mopeds or parts normally. Breaking this rule is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $500.
