Yes. A common misconception is that you do not need a license to operate a Vespa or moped in New Jersey, but that typically applies to small motorized scooters, not Vespas and mopeds. According to the New Jersey State Moped Manual, you must be at least 15 years old with a valid moped, motorcycle, or basic driver’s license to legally operate a moped or Vespa in New Jersey. Furthermore, while NJ Rev Stat § 39:4-14.16 (2019) allows low-speed electric mobility devices to be used on streets, roadways, and bicycle paths of the state, NJ Rev Stat § 39:4-14.12 (2019) provides exceptions to this rule and you may, in fact, not be allowed to operate your mobility device or vehicle in certain areas.
