Do you need a license to ride scooter in Texas?

Yes, you do need a license to ride a scooter in Texas. All drivers of two-wheeled motor vehicles must have a motorcycle endorsement on their driver's license. To get a motorcycle endorsement, you must pass a written test and a skills test. The written test covers topics such as motorcycle safety, traffic laws, and accident avoidance. The skills test evaluates your ability to operate a motorcycle safely.

Here are the steps to get a motorcycle endorsement in Texas:

1. Take a motorcycle safety course. This is the best way to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely. The course will cover the same topics as the written test, plus it will give you hands-on experience riding a motorcycle.

2. Pass the written test. The written test is a 50-question multiple-choice test. You must answer at least 35 questions correctly to pass.

3. Pass the skills test. The skills test is a two-part test. The first part is a basic skills test, which includes tasks such as starting and stopping the motorcycle, turning, and braking. The second part is a riding skills test, which includes tasks such as riding in a straight line, making turns, and avoiding obstacles.

4. Get a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. Once you pass the written test and the skills test, you will be issued a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license.

It is important to note that you must be at least 16 years old to get a motorcycle endorsement in Texas. If you are under 18, you must also complete a parent-taught driver education course or a state-approved driver education course.
