Helmet on moped?

Question

ive been haveing a argument with someone for quite a while now. does anyone no if it is the law in the state of wisconsin that you have to wear ahelmet on a moped if you are under the age of 18

Answer 1

Scooter - Helmet is required for riders under the age of 18 in your state.

Moped - Not specific for your state. Since a moped is considered a motorized bicycle, does your state have a law to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle? To be on the safe side, I would at least wear a bicycle helmet (they're less expensive than a motorcycle helmet).

Answer 2

i read somewhere that you don't have to wear any protective gear at all.. that being said, i would try to have fun on it, e.g. i would wear a cape (j/k but i would probably really do it)  or something and have a really cool looking helmet...this isn't the 70's or 80's, no-one will really criticize you for being on a moped with these gas prices.  and don't worry about the hardcore bikers that don't wave at you.  i wave at everything with 2 wheels.  i feel your pain caused by your other vehicle, "THE GAS GUZZLER".
