i dont think you do, i know my old moped never had them fitted from factory, and alot of the guys with enduro's remove them so they dont break when they fall off.....just make sure you know hand signals

You dont need them. If fitted they must work, but its fine to have none.

It is a bit more complex than that.

If it was made before August 1986 and has no indicators, you don't need them but there must be no sign of indicators having been on the bike so you would need to stick black tape over the repeater light on the dash and such.

After 1986 it must have indicators with a couple of exceptions:

Vehicles with no front and rear position lamps.

Vehicles capable of no more than 30mph.

'off road' vehicles designed to carry only the rider.
