Good to know

  • Florida defines a moped as having an engine of 50cc or less, no more than 2 brake horsepower, a top speed of 30 mph or less, operable pedals. Exceed any one of those and the vehicle is legally a motorcycle in Florida — a different (usually higher) fee, and typically a motorcycle license, title, and insurance.
  • The $7.50 annual total includes the $5 moped flat tax and $2.50 motorcycle safety fee; expect a few dollars more in service and branch fees.
  • First-time registration adds a $28 original plate fee. Mopeds are exempt from Florida's $225 initial-registration fee and are not titled.
  • A motorized scooter (no seat, 20 mph or less) needs no registration or license at all.
