Do you need a liense for a motorised scooter in queensland australia?

Question

Do you need a motorbike liecense for a motorised scooter or can you just use your drivers liense? OR do you not need one at all?

Answer 1

any vehicle you take on the road you need a license for

a motor bike is different from a car so yes you would need a bike license

Answer 2

You definately need at least your car licence - but it depends how powerful the scooter is.  I was looking at some a few years back which could only do about 50km/h and they didn't require a motorbike licence.  If you go to a bike shop they will be able to tell you which ones require a motorbike licence and which ones don't.

Answer 3

You need a licence.  Take your licence (drivers) to the local Department of Motor Transport (Queensland transport) answer questions, get them right, pay about $20 get an ugly photo taken (not you personally, they all turn out ugly) wait around for a bit, Helmet compulsory, absolutely! pushbikes get fined $30 for a kid not wearing a helmet on the road, we seem to value our brains over here!  If it isn't a pushbike, and you ride it on the road, you need a licence in Queensland.
