I was under the impression that 49cc scooters were basically considered bicycles, as in, no plates, registration, insurance, etc. Now i've found out i need all these things. So my question is: What's the point of getting a 49cc scooter instead of something bigger? Is the only difference that i don't need a Motorcycle license?

'cause it's trendy

 

yes, the only diff is you dont need a motorcycle endorsement. in some states you dont need insurance on motorcycles or scooters, others its mandatory

 

I figured it out:

Don't need:
Insurance
MSF
Inspection
Helmet (Though i'd wear one anyway)


Do need:
Tags
Title
Plate

This is Maryland.

 

As long as you don't ride double on a scooter (49cc) here in Michigan, you don't need any of that ****.... That's what the guy selling my friend one said anyways.
