I heard that in many states it is legal to operate a motorized vehicle on the street with out a license as long as it is under 50cc is this true for maryland? Also any other info about MD laws on these kinds of things would be apreciated.
 
You must have a valid Maryland drivers license; no dui or dwi suspended or otherwise. Perfectly legal to ride under 50cc.
 
i was just curios if you were supposed to ride it like a bike (stay in shoulder and out of the way of cars) or if you should be in the lanes with the cars and ride it more like a motor cycle
 
hi T-Bone

stay to the right side of the road -- like a bicycle

unless you have the SPEED to be more in the center of the lane with the cars

at this time -- while you are not real sure of yourself and your motor bike

please -- be very careful as you -- RIDE THAT THING
 
Do these need to have lights to be street legal? And what about riding it on the high way (not in the lanes of course) is that a no no?
 
Don't know about Maryland, but most places a cycle has to be over 125ccs to be on a highway- a limited access highway, at least....and if it were me, I would stick to back roads.

It's not really about legal- it's about safety.
 
I wasnt really planning on taking it on the high way I was just curious.
 
answer for Tbone

I work in Frederick Md. just off of 85 and there are several young guys that ride scooters to work. They said has to be under 50cc and under 30mph and a licensed driver I live in WV the laws are different there.
