IMPORTANT NOTE:  Always check the laws in your state BEFORE you start riding a moped or scooter!

States                  Provinces

Here are some general guidelines for mopeds and motor scooters.   Links to DOT by State are listed below!

Anyone riding a moped or a scooter has the same rights and duties as drivers of other motor vehicles. 

Moped and scooter riders will receive citations for any traffic violations so follow all the rules you learned while getting your drivers license!

If you don't have a drivers license and don't require one - you still need to know the traffic rules and regulations.

You must be 16 years of age or older to operate a Moped or Scooter on a public road.

Operators of a Moped or a Scooter over 50cc will require a drivers license. For riders of mopeds or scooters under 50cc - check the laws in your state or country.

Motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license is NOT required.

Moped or Scooter must be registered annually.

Moped or Scooter may not be operated on sidewalks, bicycle paths or footpaths.

Moped or Scooter riders do not have to carry PIP insurance.

Operators 16 years of age or older are not required to wear helmets.

These are general rules. The rules in your state may differ so check with your state authorities before you begin riding your scooter!
