(B) In addition to the above prohibition on the use of pocket bikes as set forth in division (A) above, any person who owns or operates a pocket bike shall also be required to comply with the entirety of this subchapter as it applies to mopeds. In the event any person commits a violation of the provisions of this subchapter while operating a pocket bike, that person shall be fined under § 73.99(C)(4) of this chapter for the specific violation, or shall be fined for the state violation, in addition to the penalty for operation of the prohibited pocket bike.
(C) A police officer having probable cause to believe a person has violated this section may immediately impound the pocket bike as evidence. If no action has been filed in court to enforce the violation of division (A) above, or if there is proof that the fine has been paid, or unless proof is provided that no violation has occurred, the Police Department shall allow the owner to retrieve the pocket bike within 45 days of its seizure. The Police Department shall also allow the owner to retrieve the moped bicycle if accompanied by the legal guardian in the case of an underage operator.
