Check the laws in your state
In mine any motor scooter 50cc or less capable of running no faster than 35mph does not require a driver's license, license plate, registration, inspection or insurance. At nearly 90mpg it's the cheapest form of rapid transportation available. As long as you stay off the highways you're completely legit. Since they have lights, mirrors and turn signals they're safer than bikes and at 200lbs they're less likely to get blown over in the wake of a truck. Plus they make more noise so people notice you. You don't even have to shift gears, they're automatic.
