Do you need a license to ride moped?

It depends on the jurisdiction in which you are located. In some areas, a moped may be considered a motor vehicle and require a driver's license or motorcycle permit to operate. In other areas, a moped may be classified as a bicycle or low-speed vehicle and may not require a special license.

It is important to check the specific laws and regulations in your jurisdiction to determine if you need a license to ride a moped. You can usually find this information on the website of your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent government agency.

In general, if a moped has an engine size greater than 50 cubic centimeters (cc) or can travel faster than a certain speed (typically 25-30 miles per hour), it is likely to be considered a motor vehicle and require a license or permit. However, there may be exceptions or different classifications depending on the specific jurisdiction.

To be sure, it is always a good idea to check with your local authorities to confirm the exact license requirements for operating a moped in your area.
