When taking the California M1 motorcycle riding test, can you take the riding portion with a scooter or moped?

Question

Basically, I want to know...can you take the California M1 Motorcycle Driving Test with a scooter or does it have to be a "real" motorcycle?

Answer 1

you need to take the smallest bike in that category.   theres the M1, and then theres the M2.    M1 ride any size bike, M2 scooters only

Answer 2

Moped, no; define scooter.

This scooter (the type you stand on), no.

Scooter that meets the definition of a motorcycle is a "real" motorcycle for purposes of the California M1 motorcycle riding test, so yes!  ;-p
