  • Can I drive a moped without a license?
    Attorney Derek Bernstein discusses those people trying to sell mopeds to those without valid drivers license in Florida.
    If you had your drivers license suspended or revoked due to a DUI or other reason you cannot legally drive a moped on the streets. If an officer were to run your tags and find you have no valid drivers license you can’t be arrested and taken to jail.
    Do not believe the people telling you you’ve been driving on the street.

    In the us u don't need a drivers license for ANY transportation under 50cc. However the one exception is hawaii. Where u do. They also have a class 1 moped license. Just for any mopeds. U still need proof of address and stuff so if u dont live there. U can just get a permit in your state for a visit. Permits also count. Some towns in the united states may actually make u leave or pickup your moped from their jurisdiction if u dont have at least a permit if accidents are high in that town. More for your own safety. Thats all the 50cc moped knowledge u need.

      In Florida that is a solid no. I don't know if where you are it is legal, I would consult a lawyer in your State. I would look into an electric bike though. Something with pedals and an electric assist. Could help you out a lot.

    Well buddy I don't know how it is in the state of Florida but either you don't know your stuff or it's different in the state of Indiana because in the state of Indiana you absolutely do not need a driver's license to ride a 50cc scooter all you need is a valid ID with a motor driven cycle b endorsement which is nothing more than going to the license branch taking the 25 question test and that's that. And this is a fact because I've been driving one for the last several years with this endorsement and no driver's license

    • @TheLawBear
      @TheLawBear  3 роки тому

      Your correct. Each state varies. In Florida you do need a license though.

      Check your local laws but that is definetly an option for people. However a good moped can get up to 45mph. where an e bike i think is probably what 25-30?
