I took three bicycles and a 49cc pocket bike, chopped them up and created a trike for two. Can I bring it without DMV registration because I just finished it?
I don't have a photo, but here is a video of it:

Very cool, but sadly in a word, No.
It's motorized, so you must have a DMV sticker and it's WAY past time to apply for one.

from the jack rabit speaks v13 #25. this would state that it isnt allowed.We have, thus far, allowed small, stand-up (with no seat attached, nor designed for a seat), two-wheeled, low-powered, single passenger, go-ped type "scooters" under the driving rules of Black Rock City, even though they are motorized and unlicensed by DMV. If your "scooter" doesn't meet every one of these criteria, please leave it at home!
also the guide and other info states that vehicles which arent regestired or do not pass as a goped will not be allowed to enter the event. i recomend you either realy quickly add some pedals to this or you leave it at home.

THE DMV AND MUTANT VEHICLES
Department of Mutant Vehicles (DMV)
Citizens of Black Rock City have an opportunity to participate in the Mutant Vehicle experiences, an important piece of the art and participation at Burning Man. The DMV licenses Mutant Vehicles for driving about BRC. All prospective Mutant Vehicles, and those who wish to apply for a disabled license, MUST pre-register with the DMV before the event. In order to be granted a license, Mutant Vehicles must meet certain criteria. In addition to being visually stimulating and participatory in nature, vehicles must be safe and owners must comply with community guidelines (no dust, 5 MPH, etc.). Depending on the license type, Mutant Vehicles may be operated either within Black Rock City or on the playa and during the day or at night (which requires radical illumination). The DMV also works with the Flame Effects Team to inspect and license Mutant Vehicles which use flame effects.
That said, Black Rock City is designed for pedestrians and bicycles. Non-mutated, recreational driving is prohibited; be prepared to drive your vehicle to your campsite and leave it parked there for the duration of your stay at the event. Vehicles driving without a proper permit may be fined , impounded, or disabled by law enforcement or the Black Rock Rangers. Non-mutated vehicles intended for recreational driving, including motorcycles, large scooters, and ATVs, are not permitted in BRC and will be impounded at the gate. However, if a motorcycle is your sole means of transportation to the event, you may enter the city and park it at your campsite. Wind-powered vehicles with a pivoting (non-fixed) mast and a standing operator are allowed to move within BRC. All other types of wind-powered vehicles are not allowed within the city but may operate at the Black Rock Airport. Look for the airport on the BRC map. For more information, contact: dmv (at) burningman (dot) com, or visit dmv.burningman.com.
Mutant Vehicle Safety
Mutant Vehicle participants (vehicle artists, operators, and passengers) must comply with certain safety standards.
Vehicle Integrity & Mechanical Characteristics
To be licensed, your Mutant Vehicle must meet certain standards of structural and mechanical integrity. This safety standard applies to all Mutant Vehicles at all times. A violation of public safety could result in immediate eviction from the event.
Mutant Vehicles must have physical integrity:
•All fluids leaking from a vehicle must be caught in a pan and disposed of properly.
•There must be rails for people to hold onto.
•The vehicle must be structurally safe for its occupants.
•Vehicle body alterations should not pose a physical danger to anyone.
Mutant Vehicles must have certain mechanical characteristics:
•Functioning brakes
•Controllable speed
•A reasonable turning radius
•Safe mechanical operation
•Adequate lighting for nighttime permits
Fulfilling these requirements is the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle.
Driver Responsibilities:
•Drive safely.
•Come to a complete stop before anyone gets on or off the vehicle. Passengers must be able to get on and off safely.
•Respect the speed limit (5 mph with NO DUST).
•Do not drive erratically (swerving; stopping and starting quickly).
•Do not drive on pedestrian walkways, see the BRC map for details.
•Make sure your BRC-DMV license is properly displayed on the rear of your vehicle.
•Pedestrians and bicycles always have the right of way.
•Violation of these rules can result in fines, impounding your vehicle, and/or eviction from the event.
•Do not drive when visibility is obstructed in "white out" conditions.
Passenger Responsibilities:
•Do NOT board or exit from any moving vehicle.
•If the vehicle doesn't look safe, don't get on. Listen to your instincts.
•If you are feeling uncomfortable, you have the right to safely leave the vehicle upon request.
Scooters and Go-Peds
Large, seated, street-legal "Vespa" type scooters, like motorcycles, are not allowed to drive in our pedestrian and bicycle city.
Small motorized scooters (two wheeled, lightweight, standup, small, no-seat, off-street type) and go-peds are allowed in Black Rock City but they are subject to the same rules as any other motorized vehicles - drive 5 MPH and have front and rear lights at night. BLM Rangers will issue citations for non-compliance.

If your cycle rig has a motor and a seat it is verboten!
Also MV's must be pre-registered with DMV, or they will be put in the D-lot.

If it has a seat it must be a registered mutant vehicle. Sorry.
Stand up scooters are basically the only unlicensed motorized conveyances on playa. They must not have a seat.
