Question:

Do i need a motorcycle License for a 150cc scooter? in Florida?

I understand you need a motorcycle license to operate a scooter over 50ccin this case a 149cc. But is there special classes specifically for mopeds? Because a motorcycle is totally different than a moped, so it would not make sense taking that class.

Answer:

Scooters are usually two-wheel motorcycle-type motor vehicles 50 cc or less or 2 brake horsepower or less gas engines that have automatic transmissions. Mopeds also have 50 cc or less engines with two wheels, but have pedals and may be operated solely by human power. In order to legally operate scooters, mopeds, and other 2-3 wheel small engine motor vehicles, at least a Class E driver license and tag/registration are required. Persons 16 and older may operate a moped or ride as a passenger without a helmet. Persons under 16 may not operate a moped, but may ride as a passenger with protective headgear securely fastened upon their head.
