Commuters Turning To Scooters

Video news clip from WMTW 8 in Maine, but pretty informative. Follow the PA DMV and NJ DMV links on the right to see what's required in your home state to drive a motor scooter.

In PA, The holder of a Class C (car) license is authorized to drive a motor-driven cycle which has an automatic transmission and a cylinder capacity that does not exceed 50 cubic centimeters.

In NJ, a motorcycle license is required to drive all motor scooters, and manufacturers need to be on a NJ "approved" list to be able to register and license.

In both PA and NJ, motor scooters must be registered, titled, insured and inspected to operate on public roads.
