It is a given definite that every State differs on these laws. For instance, if you had your Drivers License Suspended, you could operate a 49cc Scooter in the State of Virginia. I would highly recommend that you actually visit your Department of Motor Vehicles to check on the laws that govern Georgia.

Anythhing higher than a 49 or 50 cc would most definitely require a Motor Cycle endorsement since they are labeled Motorcycles via EPA/DOT. And, as you already know, failure to comply with State requlations could result in some hefty fines should you get pulled over.

Do yourself a big favor and check your DMV.

Good Luck

U have to be at least 15 years old with a learners permit, and a helmet and tag, thats it.

You need a motorcycle license to operate a scooter.
You need a regular automobile drivers license to operate a moped.
You only need to wear a helmet to operate a “razor scooter” (it’s a gas powered skate board with handle bars LOL)

plain and simply, u are illegal to drive ANYTHING that is required to have plates on it. this includes: all motorcycles, cars, vans, trucks, mopeds, scooters. mopeds are REQUIRED to have license plates and at the very least, a regular drivers license…even 14 or 15 yr olds are required to have a license to operate a moped on the street. look thru ur state laws, and they’d be very specifc.

if u get caught driving even a moped, u will be cited for driving under suspension at the very least, and u will most definately regret it.
