Vespa Scooter Registration
The recent rise of scooter popularity has prompted many states to adopt scooter legislation, with the crux of these laws focusing on classification - is it a moped or a motorcycle? Using motor size as the defining criteria, most Vespa scooter models are classified as motorcycles based on the fact their engines exceed 50 cc. And under state rules, all motorcycles must be registered.But before you rush out to complete a vehicle registration application, check with your DMV. If you own a Vespa scooter with a 49 cc engine or less, there's a chance you won't be bound to registration rules. It will depend whether or not your state requires mopeds to be registered.
