Starting in January 49cc scooters and mopeds MUST be registered and plated. In order to do that you must pass a sign test.

Already do here in Idaho and you must have a motorcycle endorsement too. That is all two wheel motorized vehicles including the converted bicycles.

Just pass a sign test, pay some registration fees to get the plate and an endorsement on your valid state id card. No biggie but now that these changes have been signed into law, what's next?

Are we invoking the slippery slope argument with scooter registration? What is it that you fear may be next?

With all the riders getting smeared in my area, it's time that even the 50cc bikes need an endorsement. Here you can ride a 150 with just a class C (no endorsement). We have to register, plate and insure 50cc's and up. Motorized bicycle's are technically not legal unless they have an automatic clutch, then they are considered mopeds. Yup, my China girl aint legal, but she shooo is fun!

The new law is actually better than the old law, for those that don't have a license (for whatever reason), and don't want to pay whatever insurance costs on these things and whatever else all the other stricter states have. It was 25mph max a few years ago, then it was changed to 30mph max. Now it'll be 35mph. Nearly all these 139qmb chinese scooters go well past 25-30 mph, unless you are just way too heavy for those.
