50cc Gas Mopeds Can Move You Around The Neighborhood Just Fine »

When you buy a 50cc gas scooter you are getting into a vehicle that falls in between the vehicle category and the category classified as mopeds. When it comes to the right for people to operate one of the buggers, there is little common ground between different countries on whether an individual needs to be licensed or not. Some of the countries in the EU will allow you to operate these scooters without a permit or license, but if you live in either France or Italy, you are going to be required to carry the minimum of a car drivers license to operate any “vehicle” up to 125cc. There is quite a big level of legal ambiguity for the definition and classification of scooters.
