I looked on the DMV website and I am not positive if I do or not, its classing it as
The DMV divides mopeds and scooters into three classifications (A, B, and C) based on top speed. Each class comes with specific requirements and restrictions. Class A reaches top speeds between 30 and 40 mph, requires a class M/MJ license, and can operate in any traffic lane. Class B reaches top speeds between 20 and 30 mph, does not require a specific license, and can only operate in either the right hand lane or along the shoulder. Class C reaches top speeds of 20 mph or less, does not require a specific license, and can only operate in either the right hand lane or along
Well the one I want does ~45 to 50 but is only 49cc its a 92 Yamaha YSR. I thought any thing less then 50cc you did not need a motorcycle license to operate it just a regular driver license. Anyone know for sure before I buy this thing?
see that’s the debate. who’s to say it does not go over 50? I think its the cc’s of the bike. what’s his name was selling that honda spree and it was only a 49cc and said he didn’t need a license, it did over 35.
not worth getting the licence, you gotta go to the dmv and shit and that shit sucks. if they try to pull you over just run…
you’ll probably want to ditch the scooter however as it will probably slow you down, and try and find some woods or something as cops hate having to chase on foot.
not reading it all, at work we sell 50cc scooters, as long as they dont go any faster than 39MPH but i have found 103cc big bore kits, cams, clutch kits ect…
So how does that help us, you didnt really answer any questions. Are you saying that 50cc and lower and less then 39mph you do not need a motorcycle license? How do you know this if you do?
Are there any special requirements to operate a limited use motorcycle (moped) in NYS?
The Vehicle and Traffic Law defines a limited use motorcycle as “a low-speed vehicle with two or three wheels.” Terms frequently used for limited use motorcycles are “mopeds” and “motor scooters.”
The requirements to operate a moped are like those for motorcycles. You must have a driver license and you must register a moped to drive it on streets and highways. The exceptions to these requirements are listed in the table below. You can never operate a moped on a sidewalk.
The DMV certifies a moped as a Class A, Class B or Class C limited use motorcycle according to top speed. [COLOR=“Red”]The manufacturer requests the certification through the DMV Technical Services Bureau. Only a DMV-certified model of limited-use motorcycle can get a registration in NYS. [/COLOR]The phone number for the Technical Services Bureau is (518) 474-5282.
To register your moped, bring the following to a DMV office:
* A completed form MV-82 (Registration / Title Application).
* A completed form DTF-802 (Statement of Transaction for Sales Tax ) or proof of exemption or tax paid. The requirements and forms for mopeds are the same as those for motor vehicles. See the information about sales tax.
* Proof of ownership, normally the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO), a bill of sale or a previous registration that was transferred to you.
* Proof of identity.
* Cash, check or credit card for the fee. Pay the fees and required sales tax.
