To register the moped, the owner would have to provide a manufacturer's certificate of origin, which is like a title for a car. If the owner doesn't have one, he or she would have to go through a Division of Motor Vehicles inspection to obtain a registration and plates. The cost would be $18.





The bill would require moped owners carry bodily injury, property damage and liability insurance.



Drivers would have to pay either a $15 or $22 registration fee depending on whether the bike has a sidecar.

Drivers would also pay a $40 title fee.

Sounds pretty much like what I had to do in both AZ and NM. NC must currently have some pretty loose rules.

Interesting. By using the term moped they are describing a motorized /pedal driven bicycle. A motor scooter by definition is a motor driven 2 wheeled vehicle powered by 50cc to 600 cc engines. Here in GA. 'mopeds' under 50 ccs
requires the operator to have a drivers license not a motorcycle endorsement drivers license. In this country the term
moped has come to mean, incorrectly, any motor scooter. The NC proposed law if read quickly is poorly written.
In Ga no license tag is needed for a motor scooter under 50ccs nor is insurance required. The operator can not ride after
dark or on expressways.
