I'd imagine if it was outfitted with all the street legal lights it would be OK.
I saw this bike on a TV show yesterday. It's only the first generation design and they had it compete against a 250 cc gas bike.
It did surprisingly well in all contests but a distance jump which they blamed on the rider not being familiar enough with the feel of the bike. It outperformed the gas bike in an all-terrain race. I think it did so because the bike is much lighter and can be maneuvered more easily. On a flat out straight race the electric bike was only 1 mph slower across the finish line.
I think the next generation design will be incredible.
