Mopeds and Motor Scooters

A moped is defined as a vehicle with pedals, having a seat or saddle, designed to travel on not more than three wheels, with a motor rated not in excess of 2 brake horsepower, and an automatic drive system not capable of speeds greater than 30MPH. If an internal combustion engine is used, it must not exceed 50CC. Mopeds are only registered, not titled.

• Identification (Business or Individual)
• Power of Attorney if the applicant is not present.
  • Sales tax, if applicable.
