Most likely what you are referring to isn't legal to be operated on the street. It has to be registered and properly equipped to be on the road.

Check out this link to CHP's website. It has a lot of pictures and defines what they consider motorized scooters, motorized bikes, ETC.

It's spelled Neighbor, and what you are doing may not be legal.

You may not ride a motorized vehicle on a road, unless it is licensed. It also must comply with safety laws. Forward facing white light and turn signals among others.

You may ride on private property without the safety devices.

Do you have a license plate on it? No license plate then no riding in the streets.
