    Thank you for this. I want to buy a 50cc scooter because cars are just to expensive for me right now. I was trying to Google it but the RMV barely explained it as well as you

    If only this were the case in California. Here you have to pay full registration and insurance fees just to ride a 49cc scooter. This is why I bought a bigger bike cause it costs the same

    Can you drive the moped at night and can you carry a passenger?

    Having the Permit, does that allow you to drive at night also ?

    What are the factors for registering an electric moped/scooter in Mass? I don't mean electric kick scooters but full sized electric scooters with similar capability to a 49cc. I tried to register one and was denied registration. I have an MCO and a bill of sale. They really gave me no reason why they won't register it.

      u don’t have to register it since it’s classified as an ebike

      ​@@bananabolt1661 I ended up registering it at a different RMV and they had it done in 5 minutes. The other RMV was obviously incompetent or ignorant to electric vehicles. In RI you need to register, insure and go through inspection for the electric scooter I have. It's a Venom Ex20. Looks like a motorcycle so I really didn't want to get pulled over 50 times to explain "it's electric"...

    IS there a seizure law for driving a Moped or Scooter

      I assume you are asking about the police impounding a moped. There are a lot of factors and possible scenarios to consider with respect to this question. We are not lawyers, so please refer to the relevant Massachusetts laws (www.mass.gov/info-details/moped-operation-requirements and malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/Parti/Titlexiv/Chapter90/Section1b).
      As far as we know, as long as you are operating a moped (“motorized bicycle”) that has been properly registered and you possess a valid car learner’s permit or car driver’s license, the police will not impound your moped. The fines for violations such as being underage, not possessing the correct type of license, exceeding the speed limit, etc., are quite modest. The first offense is $25 and the max is $100.
      It's a good idea to keep a copy of your registration and license in the moped and on your phone. And we recommend always operating a moped in a safe and legal manner. The vast majority of our customers have had no problems with the police.

      @@CruzeScooters i was told by the dmv that the cc doesnt matter and that they go by a master list and the biggest factor is the top speed. (permit needed)

    Are the rules of the road different for limited use vehicles?

    • @CruzeScooters
      @CruzeScooters  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A limited use vehicle is one "whose speed on a paved level surface can exceed 30 miles per hour but is not capable of exceeding 40 miles per hour." Along with that higher speed comes the necessity of getting a title, insurance, and inspection. For a two-wheel limited use vehicle, such as a moped that can go more than 30mph, you also need a Class M license or learner's permit. In terms of rules of the road, this is from the Massachusetts Motorcycle manual: "You cannot drive a limited use vehicle on a limited-access or express state highway or any road with a speed limit faster than 40 mph."
