A:
Your local license branch can walk you through the process. The following is from AAA's digest or motoring laws and seems accurate:
Owners of mopeds or scooters with engines smaller than 50 cubic centimeters must apply for a registration. Such mopeds or scooters will receive license plates.
Operators of owners of mopeds or scooters must apply for one of three license endorsements. For mopeds with engines smaller than 50 cubic centimeters, a driver must be 15 years old or older and apply for an MDC – Class B endorsement. For other mopeds, a driver must have an MDC – Class A license. A driver with a motorcycle endorsement on their license may operate any moped.
Persons under 18 must wear protective headgear and goggles.
