The DMV’s inspection is pretty basic: 
If a rider brings in manufacturer paperwork showing that the specs are within state limits, the vehicle passes as a moped.
If there is no paperwork, technicians check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
A number of factors could lead to an error message, in which case the DMV allows the owner to register the vehicle as a moped upon completing an affidavit swearing it conforms to all Nevada regulations.
