Do you need a Motorcycle licence to ride a <50cc motorcycle in Washington State?

Question

We have a 35cc minibike. We were recently told to get off of a road because we didn't have a motorcycle licence. Do we need one in washington if the bike doesn't have 50CC's?

Answer 1

I live in Washington State and you do not need a motorcycle license on a moped. You do need a drivers license to operate a moped and the moped and I assume minibike needs to be registered in the state of Washington. The laws of Washington do not state what is considered a moped but a mini bike should be considered a moped. There aren&#039;t any CC classifications anymore in the state for a motorcycle endorsement. If you get a motorcycle endorsement it is a motorcycle endorsement to ride any size motorcycle.
