what are the rules for driving a moped like this?

I see a ton of people driving mopeds like this around town and I’m planning on buying one. I know it’s street legal, but I was wondering what the rules are, for Florida, for this type of moped.

First Thats a SCOOTER, not a Moped. “MOPED” is No more than 30mph, AND no more than 50cc`s.

SECOND, there is No dealer, DO NOT BUY WITHOUT A DEALER. the dealer will set it up, and prep it for you, make adjustments and will have parts and warranty info for you!

THIRD dont buy anything from CHINA!!! see this yahoo group on why…

The 150 size means that you have to go back to the DMV and get your motorcycle endorsement, no big deal. its a Motorcycle everyone does. And yes, insurance too. Geigo M/C insurance is about $10 a month.

There are a TON more 150cc size scooters out there, there are scooter clubs in Florida too, get with one of them.
