I‘ve been looking into getting one. I also looked up the rules for scooters/mopeds in Florida, but it was a little confusing and I think the scooter I want surpassed some of the maximum requirements for being classified as a scooter/moped.
Information, from the State of Florida: www.flhsmv /dmv/bulletins/2003. A Honda Metropolitan is NOT a 316.003(77) Moped . not in excess of 2 brake horsepower and not capable of grater (sic) than 30 miles per hour on level ground. A Honda Metropolitan IS a 316.003(22) Motorcycle . a seat or saddle for the use of the rider. not more than three wheels. excluding a tractor or a moped. Hence, a Honda Metropolitan titled and registered as a motorcycle. However, Definitions for Driver Licenses: 322.01(25) Motorcycle means a motor vehicle powered by a motor with a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters. Hence, while you do need a driver's license, you do not need a motorcycle driver's license. The Honda CHF50 Metropolitan is a motorcycle capable of 40 mph. The Honda CHF50P Metropolitan-II is a moped not capable of over 30 mph.
