Riding a motorcycle requires a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle permit. A moped can be ridden on the street by any licensed driver, or anyone 15 years of age or older with a moped permit. A scooter is either a moped or a motorcycle, depending on its size: A moped is defined as having 50 cc or less, having 2 hp or less, and capable of no more than 30 mph. If it does not meet all three requirements, it is considered a motorcycle. For information on electrically assisted bicycles, see the online motorcycle manual.
