Yes. A scooter with an engine capable of propelling it more than 24mph requires a license to drive in Oregon. The speed of a 49cc scooter is capped at 30mph. At any greater speed requires a motorcycle endorsement. You can be slapped with a heavy fine for violation of this law.

**THIS IS INCORRECT, THE DMV WEBSITE SAYS 30MPH NOT 24. SO NO, A 49CC CAPPED AT 30MPH DOES NOT REQUIRE A LICENSE.***

2014 Oregon DMV

Moped.. License Yes

If it has a combustion engine, the engine must be 35.01 to 50 cc.

Must be unable to travel more than 30 mph on a level road surface.

Must not require clutching or shifting by the operator after the power drive system is engaged.

Requires a driver license to operate (but not a motorcycle endorsement).

Requires registration and insurance to operate on public roadways and premises open to the public.

If a moped exceeds either maximum capable speed or engine size it is a motorcycle."

Electric Scooter/Gas Scooter...License No

Gas - Maximum cc=35

Electric - Maximum output=1000 watts

Not capable of going faster than 24 mph on level ground.
