Technically, you can operate a "scooter" without a valid license in Florida, IF the scooter is electric and meets the qualifications of being a motorized bike. If the scooter runs on gasoline, then no matter the size, you HAVE to have a valid driver's license. (By the way, the 49cc reference in the question actually does pertain to a certain restriction in Florida - with a gasoline powered scooter, 49cc is the maximum engine size a person can operate without a motorcycle endorsement on their driver's license). Oh, one last thing about the electric scooter - it has to have pedals which allow it to be pedaled just like a bicycle...hence meeting the guidelines of a "motorized bike."

In the state of Florida, it is required to have a class E driver's license to operate any type of moped or scooter. Driving a scooter with only a permit would be illegal.

Bo you can not. You have to have a drivers license. However for a two wheeled vehicle with less than 50cc you do not need a motorcycle endorsement.

Do you need a motorcycle license for a 600cc scooter in Pennsylvania?

Are you sure you don't mean a 60cc scooter? Because a motorcycle with a 600 cc engine is not called a scooter. For a scooter and moped with a 60cc engine or smaller, you need to be 16, attend a driving safety corse and pass a test. Because the scooter is bigger than 50 cc, you will either need a regular drivers license with a motorcycle endorsement or a motorcycle driver's license. In Pennsylvania the following rules apply for a motorcycle license: 16 years old for a learner's permit, 16 years and 6 months old for a restricted license and 18 years old for a full license.

Do you need a license for a 60cc scooter in Ct?

== == If your motor scooter has an engine capacity of at least 50 cubic centimeters, it falls into the category of motorcycle in Connecticut. That means you have to follow the same laws motorcycle drivers and owners do. You need to register your motor scooter, hold title and registration, and carry a motorcycle operator's license. It is illegal to ride your scooter on sidewalks. Your scooter must have brakes, lights, a horn, and mirrors. If your scooter's engine capacity is less than 50 cubic centimeters, it is classified as a moped, or a "bicycle with helper motor." You are only required to hold a valid driver's license to own and ride it.

Within the state of Washington, a scooter is considered a moped or scooter, rather than a motorcycle, if its engine is less than or equal to 50cc. Beyond this, a motorcycle license is needed. As well, make sure the scooter doesn't speed up past 30 miles per hour on level ground, as going above this speed will classify the vehicle as a motorcycle even if the engine is a proper size.
