I recently looked at my E-ZPASS statement for VA. I noticed that I have been charged for riding my Spyder on the express lanes. I normally keep my E-ZPASS mounted in my frunk. The customer service person I spoke to said that I did not need one for my motorcycle and that I should remove it. I explained that other roads in the area require a toll, so I also have it mounted as I don't know when I will need it. I went back through all my statements, and it has been billed since the express lanes opened in January 2015. Just keep an eye on your statements as they only have records back 3 months. I got all the months from E-ZPASS to compare.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have an EZ Pass permanently mounted on my motorcycle. I never get charged for the hot lanes. It records the trips, but charges $0.00. The key is to be sure you have the EZPass registered ONLY to a motorcycle. That is how mine is.
I also plastidipped it black to blend in so people will be less likely to steal it.

Thank you for posting this!
It is registered and assigned to my RT only. VDOT contacted the Express Lanes and I got the refund. The Express Lanes indicated that the weight and size of the Spyder indicated a car to the monitoring devices. They have since recalibrated the sensors to hopefully avoid any charges in the future. I have not received any toll charges since.
