Question

I want buy a Vespa. How old do you have to be to drive one? Do you need a license?

Answer 1

Do you needs a Motorcycle License?

If your vehicle has a motor with an engine displacement of more than 40 cubic centimeters, two wheels, and you want to drive it on public roads, you'll need a motorcycle license. This includes scooters (like Vespas) and mopeds (even if it has pedals for human propulsion).

How to Get a License

If you already have a Utah driver license, you will merely need to take the written and skills test to receive a motorcycle endorsement (or just the written test, if you can provide proof of completion of a motorcycle rider education course approved by the Driver License Division).

A motorcycle endorsement to your existing license costs only $7.50 and is available to any licensed driver, regardless of age. However, the law says that riders under 18 must always wear approved headgear.

If you do not have a Utah driver license, then you may get a motorcycle-only license if you are 16 or over. Your parent or guardian will need to sign your application if you are under 18, and all applicants will be required to pass at least a written test.

Answer 2

I think every state requires a license to operate a Vespa. The engine sizes start out at 125cc, for some old quaint historical Vespa (like the Baso Faro).  But most of them are 150 cc and 200 cc, up to the 250cc and 300cc for the most recent sizes.

What is the age in your state for a car license?You can usually get your Motorcycle license at the same age. (Every state has it's own vagaries that make you exclaim, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!"
