DMV laws for 150 cc Moped in VA?

I was thinking about getting a moped with 60+ MPH. Do I need to get a motorcycle liscense and how much is usually insurance a month for one of these things?

In Va a moped is defined as having a motor less than 50cc and having a maximum speed of 30mph. Anything bigger/faster than that is considered to be a motorcycle. Therefore, you would need a motorcycle endorsement in order to operate it. I’m not sure of the insurance. You would probably get different answers from different insurance companies. I would suggest taking MSF basic riders course. This will help you get you endorsment and may get you a discount on you insurance.
