Do gas mopeds and scooters need to be titled in Indiana?

Indiana Moped Laws

CANNOT EXCEED 25 MPH!!! or it`s a "Motorcycle"

A moped, or "Motorized bicycle," is a two (2) or three (3) wheeled vehicle, that is propelled by an internal combustion engine or a battery powered motor. If it is powered by a motor, the engine have less than two horsepower, a cylinder capacity less than 50c.c., an automatic transmission, and a maximum speed less than 25mph on a flat surface. Electric mopeds are only required to travel less than 25mph on a flat surface.



Moped Licensing Information

Moped operators must be atleast fifteen years old, and they must possess a Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) issued license or I.D.card. No motorcycle license is required to operate a moped.


Everyone under the age of 18 is required to wear a helmet and eye protection while riding on a moped. The protective headgear that is worn must meet the requirements set by the USDOT. The protective eyewear required can be a pair of protective glasses, goggles, or a transparent face shield. All operators under the age of 18 who ride on motorcycles must also wear a helmet and eye protection.

Good answer. Still not so sure that I would agree with the 25 MPH part of it. But it is certainly a good answer none the less. Report It

Not if they are below 50 c.c. s

If your moped or scooter has 2 bhp or over 50cc, then it must be titled as a motorcycle. Otherwise you could not do so even if you wanted to.

Additional Details:
If, for example, you own a 1.9 bhp, 49cc, moped, capable of traveling 31 MPH, then the BMV will not title it as a motorcycle. If you're traveling near the right shoulder or in a designated bike lane then you must do so at 25 MPH or under. If you wish to travel near the center of the roadway at speeds over 25 MPH, then you must meet the foregoing requirements and title your moped as a motorcycle.
