See some around here. We are close to a lake and it is legal. Some folks around here have issues with it, mostly because they are not aware of the laws, or false belief of road taxes and other taxes paid.

So a motor on a boat is ok but a truck isn’t?

So a motor on a boat is ok but a truck isn’t?It isn't the motor or the electricity that is bad or evil. It is the concept of staying plain. This has become more difficult every day. Each church will determine what is allowed. Some like the Beachy Amish are more like what we think of as Mennonite. For instance, my best friend will not use a battery operated tool on his property. His brother 50 miles away runs a construction crew with tons of newer tools but keeps them is a shed and charges them with a diesel generator. In Middle field Oh yo may see a great amount of solar panels and newer things. Lancaster pa is far more progressive. Veevay Indiana is a big mix. It started as a Swiss Amish town. Many folks from there , even several generations back seem to be far more conservative. Anyway it isn't owning things that are bad , it is how close to plain lifestyle one chooses. Churches are usually folks in a 5 mile area which is about max for a decent buggy ride. They seem (as far as I know or see) to try and keep the churches small as they were in Corinthians or Acts in the Bible, although I never heard this said. Small where they can care for each other and always be of service to each other. As for the motor in the boat, yes, the motor in the truck isn't the issue, it is the air in the tire, and the fact that owning a truck/car would distance them from each other.

@edz everything you said made since to me…except this:

This I don’t understand. Especially the air in the tire.

I know, and laughed my a^* off, still had to respond. Nicer than some of the things I joke about when I am with them.

Neither am I to be 100% honest. Not sure many Amish are either. The part about being plain I get. But they can't own anything (yes, some exceptions) with air in the tires. Many of rules seem to come from Levitcus in the Bible. Not cutting the or rounding the hair for beards, no tats and such. On a personal level I respect them, but the reasons for it in the Bible seem so different. In Leviticus the tats were due to folks scaring themselves with rocks when someone died. Many other rules for for similar reason. Not a biblical scholar and don't question much of what they do out of respect, but around a few families on nearly a daily basis. Most I can figure is when the boat is on the water it isn't attached to the trailer so they are using the motor to go but not the tires. Not sure if this makes sense the way I wrote it.

That boat trailer has inflated tires lol

Not necessarily. Could be full of water. Could be solid rubber.
I still think it's funny that their carriages have brake lights.

Solid rubber and all metal tires are becoming more polar on carts.Shawn, lights are 2 fold, by law in areas and to be safe. Our local carts and buggies you don't see many of them

Interesting. A group of Amish just moved in up the road from me. I was having trouble figuring out what was causing the marks in the road, hooves, until I saw the green-ice residue left behind. Then, they came by in the buggy, etc.
So, I went up the road after awhile to see. What do you know? Motorized farm equipment of all kinds. So, this explanation helps, although it is still a bit confusing as to what's permissible.

Confusing among many of the Amish as well
