There is not precise definition but a motor scooter usually has a small engine and you do not have to straddle it---rather you place your feet on a floor. People who ride large motorcylces will probably classify many smaller cycles as scooters just because of the size of the engine.

Do you need a motorcycle license to operate a 150cc scooter in Arizona - or is a regular Driver's License enough?

From the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division website: "A motorcycle license or endorsement is required to drive a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle. You must be at least 16 to apply for a motorcycle license." For the sake of AZ law, a 'scooter' of <50cc is a 'motor-driven cycle' 50cc or larger is a 'motorcycle'.

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.
