The taillamp shall be mounted at the rear of the moped on the vertical centerline except that, if more than one are used, they shall be symmetrically disposed about the vertical centerline. The taillamp shall be mounted at a height of not less than 15 inches (38 centimeters) not more than 72 inches (183 centimeters) above the surface upon which the unoccupied moped stands. (C) Stoplamp. Each moped shall be equipped with at least one red stoplamp meeting the requirements of the FMVSS which is activated upon application of the service brake. The stoplamp shall be mounted at the rear of the moped on the vertical centerline except that, if more than one are used, they shall be symmetrically disposed about the vertical centerline. The stoplamp shall be mounted at a height of not less than 15 inches (38 centimeters) nor more than 72 inches (183 centimeters) above the surface upon which the unoccupied moped stands. (D) License plate lamp. Whenever a rear license plate is required, each moped shall be equipped with a white (clear) license plate lamp meeting the requirements of the FMVSS. The license plate lamp shall be mounted to illuminate the rear license plate from the top or sides. (E) Headlamp high beam indicator. Each moped equipped with a dual beam headlamp or two headlamps shall have a 131-5 2538 §19-131-3 means for indicating to the driver when the upper beam of the headlamp or the upper beam headlamp is illuminated. (F) Reflectors. (i) Each moped shall be equipped with at least one red rear reflex reflector meeting the requirements of the FMVSS. The rear reflector shall be mounted on the vertical centerline except that, if more than one are used, they shall be symmetrically disposed about the vertical centerline. (ii) Each moped shall be equipped with two red side reflex reflectors meeting the requirements of the FMVSS. One red side reflector shall be mounted on each side of the moped as far to the rear as is practicable. (iii) Each moped shall be equipped with two amber side reflectors meeting the requirements of the FMVSS. One amber side reflector shall be mounted on each side of the moped as far to the front as is practi- cable. (iv) All reflex reflectors required on a moped shall be mounted at a height of not less than 15 inches (38 cen- timeters) nor more than 60 inches (152 centimeters) above the surface upon which the unoccupied moped stands. (v) Two or more lamps or reflectors may be combined if the requirements for each lamp or reflector are met. (11) Equipment controls as specified in FMVSS No. 123. (A) Handlebar mounted controls. Each equip- ment control required to be mounted on the handlebars of a moped shall be operable throughout its full range with- out removal of the operator's right or left hand from the throttle control or hand grip, respectively. (B) Headlamp upper beam control. If the moped is equipped with a dual beam head- 131-6 2538 §19-131-3 lamp or two headlamps, a headlamp upper- lower beam control shall be mounted on the left handlebar. The control shall be operated by moving up to activate the upper beam and by moving down to activate the lower beam. If the control is combined with the headlamp on-off switch, a means shall be provided to prevent inadvertent actuation to the "off" function. The control shall be identified with the marking "Lights" and the control positions shall be marked "Hi" and "Lo" to identify the appropriate function. (C) Horn control. Each moped shall be equipped with a horn control mounted on the left handlebar. The control opera- tion shall be pushed to activate. The control shall be identified with the marking "Horn". (D) Manual fuel shutoff control. The requirements for this control are con- tained in the fuel system requirements. (E) Twist-grip throttle control. Each moped shall be equipped with a twist-grip con- trol mounted on the right handlebar to control the engine power output. The control shall be self-closing in a clockwise direction when released. (F) Supplemental engine stop control. Each moped shall be equipped with a supple- mental engine stop control mounted on the right handlebar. The control shall be identified with the marking "Engine Stop" and the control positions shall be marked "Run" and "Off". (G) Front wheel brake control. Each moped shall be equipped with a front wheel service brake control mounted on the right handlebar. The control shall be operated by squeezing to engage the brake. (H) Rear wheel brake control.
