i just purchased a 150cc scooter in Illinois on sept 27, 2008. according to the dealer, as of January 1, 2008; any motor scooter or cycle that can travel at 30mph or faster is required to have a license (it used to be based on cc rating of engine, but no longer). you will need to check in with DMV to get a booklet (available on line); take a written and driving test.
In Oregon any self-powered "bike" that is either powered by a 50cc (or greater) internal combustion engine OR is capable of going faster than 30 mph will require the operator to have a motorcycle endorsement.
