In Texas, you only need a basic (Class C) driver’s license to ride a Moped. Moped/Motorcycle and scooter laws vary from state to state. All riders must follow the laws of the state in which their license was issued (For example, if your driver’s license is from Texas, you would follow Texas licensing laws). In Texas, if the scooter is on the Texas Certified Moped List, than it qualifies as a Moped. If it’s not on this list (Like the Honda Ruckus for example), it is considered a motorcycle by state law and you’ll need a motorcycle license to legally ride. All of the new 49cc scooters we sell qualify as MOPEDS in Texas!
We strongly recommend all riders complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, even if you’re riding a 49cc scooter.
