Registration of e-motorcycle operating in a public highway is mandatory

Dear PAO,

I have been a delivery rider for almost six months now. I use an e-motorcycle in my deliveries for practical reason since I am not required to register the vehicle. My problem started when a traffic enforcer flagged me down for an alleged traffic violation. The incident happened on a public highway, and he asked for my e-motorcycle's registration. I told the enforcer that e-motorcycles are not required to be registered, but he claimed that all vehicles using public highways are required to be registered. The enforcer even impounded my e-motorcycle when I failed to present registration documents. Is the impounding of my e-motorcycle proper under the circumstances?
