The bill establishes a definition for 'Moped' and requires moped operators to obtain a motorcycle license.

  • Chapter 90, Section 1

    “Moped”, a pedal bicycle with a helper motor or a non-pedal bicycle with a motor, which: (i) has a cylinder capacity of no more than 50 cubic centimeters; (ii) has an automatic transmission; (iii) is capable of a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour; and (iv) complies with all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards; provided, that a moped that does not have a restrictor plate shall be classified as a motorcycle.

    This creates a new legal definition for 'Moped'.

  • Chapter 90, Section 8

    The operator of a moped shall obtain a motorcycle license.

    This mandates that individuals operating a moped must have a motorcycle license.
