Newbie with some questions and I need your advice

ok, Thanks for the info. Its still as confusing as ever. I like the post by one guy that says you cant do anything with a motorized bicycle in florida. Below is what the Floridas dmv website says about mopeds. Sounds like a motorized bicycle would fit the bill. Note it talks about Engines...

Bottom line, I'm just going to have to try it.


State legislators define a moped as a vehicle fitting all of the following criteria:
Pedals that allow you to propel the vehicle
A seat for the rider
Three or fewer wheels
Motor of two-brake horsepower or less
Maximum speed of 30 mph on level ground
Automatic power-drive system
Displacement of 50 cc or less (for those with an internal combustion engine)

Mopeds need to be registered at a county tax collector office. The registration fee is $34.50, and you must renew your registration every year.


You'll receive a motorcycle plate for your moped. If you're under 21 and the registration is in your name, your plate will have a distinctive design and color.

Moped drivers need to have at least a Class E driver's license, and be 16 or older to drive a moped on a public road. A motorcycle endorsement isn't required.

You will not be allowed to ride your moped on bike or foot paths. All passengers under 16 must wear a helmet.

Moped drivers aren't required to carry Personal Injury Protection insurance.

Be aware that moped drivers have the same rights and responsibilities as other motorists. And, yes, moped drivers can receive traffic tickets, too.

Exactly !!!! just avoid at all costs using the words "Motorized Bicycle" and be on guard that the DMV person does not confuse moped with scooter. Let us know how you make out.
