Is a driver license required to operate mopeds or go-peds?
Yes, you are required to have a valid Florida operator’s driver license to operate a motor vehicle on any public street or road in Florida. Gas operated scooters, mopeds, go-peds, and electric scooters all meet the Driver License Law definition of motor vehicle. Most of these motorized vehicles were not originally designed for street use in regular traffic and for safety reasons should not be operated on streets or in traffic. However, if they are operated on a public street or road, a minimum of a regular Class E operator license is required. The operator must be at least 16 years old to obtain a Class E driver license.
