Answer 6

I would think if you are going to use it on the street.  Yes you would.  Call the DMV in your area to be certain.  I have a class M endorsement, and I don't remember going over any moped information.  I rode a motorcycle, so it wasn't for a scooter.

Answer 7

Where I'm from you don't need ANY license to drive a scooter 50CCs or less but if its 51cc+ then its considered a motorcycle.  (Same with a motorcycle of 50cc or less is a scooter.)

Check your local states laws, you can find them online with the department of transportations website. Usually they are listed under motorcycle license.

Remember, Besafe! wear a helmet regardless of what size or shape the bike is or what your friends tell you, its your brain you only get one!

Answer 8

no you dont. you just need a regular license.

Answer 9

it depends on the state but in Maryland you don't.
