When is a moped a moped, and not a motor scooter or a motorcycle? If it: * Has two or three wheels; * Can be propelled by a human (with pedals) or a motor, or both; * Has a motor with no more than 3.5 horsepower and 130 cubic centimeter (ccs) cylinder capacity; * Can't go more than 30 miles an hour. In other words, if your vehicle can't get up to highway speed, it's probably a moped.
As long as you have a current Kansas driver's license or a motorcycle license, you may legally operate a motor scooter on Kansas highways. You are also required to wear a helmet (if you are under 18) and all riders must wear eye protection. If you want to legally carry a passenger, the moped must be equipped with a permanently-attached seat designed for passengers. All passengers must ride astride―no handstands, please. All mopeds driven on Kansas highways are required to have current motor vehicle insurance and be legally registered with the Kansas DMV. The definition of motor-driven cycle, which includes motor scooters, refers to any two-wheel vehicle "with a motor which produces not to exceed 5 brake horsepower" according to the Kansas Motorcycle Manual. Basically, it's considered a small motorcycle. Because a motor scooter is defined as having a higher horsepower than a moped, to ride one, you have to get a motorcycle operator's driver's license. Motor scooter rules are the same as motor cycle rules. Every driver and passenger must wear a safety helmet (if they are under 18), all riders must wear eye protection, and in order to legally carry a passenger, there must be a permanently affixed seat on the motor scooter. To learn more about motor scooter operating rules, refer to the Kansas State Motorcycle Operator's Manual. The registration process for mopeds and motor scooters is the same as for all other motorcycle registrations completed in Kansas. If you purchase your motor scooter or moped through a dealership, the dealer will take care of the registration and titling paperwork for you and will provide you with temporary tags for the vehicle. If you purchase your motor scooter or motorcycle through a private party, the registration process is also the same as for other previously-owned motorcycle registrations. Source:

Scooter insurance does not cover more than motorcycle insurance. Essentially motorcycle insurance is scooter insurance and in general, is insurance coverage for 2-wheel vehicles.
Kansas auto insurance is lower than the national average. You will pay less for auto insurtance if you move to Kansas.
any scooter or moped that is over 50cc requires insurance. if it is under 50cc, it is recommended by some that you get insurance but that would be a waste and is not necessary. it depends on your feelings about it though. CORRECTION: Any scooter that Equal to, OR Less than 50cc, does not require a license nor insurance in most states.
No, scooter insurance in quite a bit different than motorcycle insurance, and it is normally much cheaper too. This is because scooters do not have as much horsepower as a motorcycle and they are normally not driven on expressways.
Kansas auto insurance rates are actually lower than the National average.
yes you can, if It is less than 50cc than it is legal if you have a helmet
Considerably less for a motor scooter than for a battleship.
If you live in California and your scooter is 50ccs or less, no license is required. If your scooter is more than 50cc's you need a motorcycle license. Check with your local DMV for more details on how to obtain your scooter license. stonemkr reverse painting on glass.
Nebraska had less problems than Kansas so Nebraska is a better state
For the less than 50cc scooter you must buy a 3 year sticker that costs $15 for 3 years. For a 50cc scooter or larger, it costs about the same as a motorcycle at $30 or so.
screw the insurance then
less
