It depends on the State laws and regulations. In many States a standard driver’s license is all that is needed to legally operate a 50cc or smaller displacement scooter or moped. The Genuine Buddy 50, Brio 50i, Roughhouse 50, and Urbano 50i models are equipped with 49cc engines and comply with many Moped State Laws. In most States, any scooter over 50cc’s in displacement will need special licensing to operate legally. Please check the rules and regulations in your State to be sure. Be safe and legal!
