If I were to get a scooter / moped that had over 50cc would it be considered a motorcycle or need special licn

I live in michigan, and I've been thinking about getting a scooter, but I want a 150cc one. Its still a scooter, but since its over 50cc would it be treated like if I bought a motorcycle (needing an endorsement, insurance, plates, ect ect)??????

Will, when I imported some Scooters into the states, all over 50cc were labeled as Motorcycles. I would suggest that you check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles to make sure. Although most places will sell it to you, the problem is if your DMV requires a Motorcycle endorsement, you could be heavily fined should you get pulled over. Better safe than sorry. Whatever you decide to purchase, remember to ride safe and follow the Traffic Laws. Good Luck.

yes it would

Check your regional craigslist > for sale > motorcycles for used scooter values.

If you have the mechanical aptitude, a China "crate" scooter might be an option.

Yes.
Even a 50cc scooter needs a motorcycle license to opperate it in most states.

In IN it would be considered a Motorcycle. You would need to plate it, ins. it and get your endorsment.
