I think you need one for anything over 49cc... I could be wrong though.

Mopeds
Virginia Code section 46.2-100 defines a moped as a vehicle that:

travels on three wheels or less,

has a seat that is at least 24 inches high
and

has a gasoline, electric, or hybrid motor that displaces less than 50 cubic centimeters.
Operation of mopeds on highways and public vehicular areas by persons under age 16 is prohibited by Virginia law.

Moped riders must carry some form of identification that includes name, address, and date of birth.

Although you do not need a driver's license to operate a moped, you may not operate a moped if you have been declared a habitual offender or your license is suspended or revoked for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Moped drivers are required to abide by the same traffic laws and regulations as automobile drivers. Detailed information on Virginia's traffic laws and regulations is available in the Driver's Manual. In addition, certain local governments may impose restrictions on moped operation.

All DUI laws apply to mopeds operated on public highways.

You may also want to review the Motorcyle Operator Manual. Information specific to moped safety is available online as well.

yea i just saw that on dmv as well , i dunno im considering trying it and seeing if i can get away with it as it doesnt look like a full blown crotch rocket, a buddy of mine has a 150cc moped scooter and he never gets stopped but i dunno if it would be different with something that looked like a crotch rocket. I dunno the bike is fucking sick though i would love to have one but well see , thanks for the help though

Well im sure you could pass the DMV license test on that thing, since its such a small bike. Dont let the license stop you from getting it, just go through the hastle and get it.
