I have a vague understanding that you don‘t need a motorcycle license to drive certain mopeds. What are the standards that a moped has to meet in order to be street legal without a motorcycle license?
under 50 cc no license required
you are able to not function a bike in Vermont without a bike license. A governor could be placed on any engine to alter velocity, even though it has not something to do with the licensing rules.
The definitions of moped, scooter and motorcycle, as well as which license is required for each varies from state to state. In my state, a moped is: 259:57 Moped. – Moped'' shall mean a motor-driven cycle whose speed attainable in one mile is 30 miles per hour or less which is equipped with a motor that produces 2 brake horse power or less; if an internal combustion engine is used, the piston displacement shall not exceed 50 cubic centimeters and the power-drive system shall not require the operator to shift gears. Note there is no mention of pedals, which is still a requirement in some places A moped may be operated with an Operator's (auto), Motorcycle, or Moped-Only license.
