2003 Stella Registration In Hawaii

Post by hawaiiscooterguy »

Aloha All,

A quick question. I am in the process of trying to register a 2003 Genuine Stella Scooter in the state of Hawaii. However when I visited the DMV they said they must look up the scooter using the VINDecoder on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) site. When they search the VIN for my Stella a message is received that states... "This manufacture is not registered with the NHTSA for importation for sale or use on US roads".

Because this message is appearing the DMV is not letting me register the Stella. I've tried to do extensive research on this and have called multiple dealerships in Hawaii that rent or sell Genuine scooters. No one yet has an answer for me. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever run into this issue or might have any insight about it?

It's quite a shame because it's such a fun scooter to ride but now I am losing that opportunity.

Mahalo,

I haven't got an answer, but I'd try contacting Genuine directly.
