(a) Motorized bicycles shall be equipped with an exhaust system, where applicable, incorporating a muffler or other mechanical device for the purpose of reducing engine noise. Cutouts and by-passes in the exhaust are prohibited. The system shall be securely attached and located so as not to interfere with the operation of the motorized bicycle. Shielding shall be provided to prevent inadvertent bodily contact with the exhaust system during normal operation.
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. A second violation by the same operator or person within a period of one year shall constitute a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
(c) In addition to or in lieu of the penalty imposed under subsection (b) hereof, the court may prohibit such violator from riding a motorized bicycle for a period not to exceed six months or authorize a motorized bicycle to be impounded for a period not to exceed 30 days.
