2) You must have a title for the moped

They can be pedaled like a bicycle or driven like a motorcycle. Mopeds are intended for limited use on public roadways. Here are some of the responsibilities of moped drivers: Moped drivers must have a valid driver's license. * LAWS: Moped drivers must obey all signs, signals and traffic laws. They also must obey most bicycle laws. * SPEED: A moped may not go over 30 miles per hour. * PASSENGERS: Moped drivers may carry a passenger only when the moped is made for two people. Equipment must include a passenger seat and a passenger footrest. * EQUIPMENT: If a moped is driven at night, it must have a headlight visible from at least 500 ft. A moped must also have a red reflector on the rear visible from at least 100 to 600 ft.
Please check the Motorcycle Manual (related link).
no but you cant take it off the lot without it
No. All scooter or moped operators must have a valid driver's license; for a car if 49cc or less, for a small motorcycle if 50cc to 150cc, and for a large motorcycle if larger than 150cc. All mopeds/scooters must be registered with the state, you must have plates, and you must have insurance.
Yes, you just can't ride it
If the scooter goes above 30 mph, you need a motorcycle certification on your license. If it does not go above 30 mph, it is considered a moped, and you do not need a motorcycle certification. You still need a license, though.
Can u buy a motorcycle without a license in Florida
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."
No, It is not illegal from someone that does not have a license to ride the motorcycle. If the person without a license was driving the motorcycle then it would be illegal.
Can you drive a 50 cc scooter in Texas without a drivers license
yes. it is possible to buy a motorcycle without a license but you have to get your license before you operate it
You do not need to carry motorcycle or motor vehicle insurance.. HOWEVER, you need PERSONAL LIABILITY insurance AND you NEED a Valid Drivers License! Moreover... ANY vehicle with anything OTHER than ONLY Electric and/or Pedals and you NEED a drivers license. Electric Bicycle - No DL needed. Electric Scooter - No DL needed. Gas Scooter with NO SEAT and can not go over 20mph - No DL needed. Basically ANY vehicle that is gas powered AND has a seat, you need a license.
No, if it is motorized, you need a license.
