What Are Street Legal Scooters?
When buying a road legal bike or scooter, you can tell whether it is in fact street legal if it has complied with the requirements of the DOT and if it has been approved by the EPA. If the scooter you have bought is street legal, it means you can use the vehicle as a means of daily transportation, whether in smaller roads or in highways. There are rules in some states stating that you can ride a street legal scooter without the needed license. Thus, you have to be prepared with the necessary licenses if you want to use your scooter mainly for transportation or for recreation. You can inquire from the responsible authorities in your respective state or town regarding scooter-riding licenses and certifications. Your road legal scooter must also have a certificate of origin, and should be registered responsibly, specifically right after being bought from the store. It also needs to be insured from a recognized agency.
