    Good to know

    • Montana defines a moped as having 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 Montana — a different (usually higher) fee, and typically a motorcycle license, title, and insurance.
    • Montana requires operable foot pedals for a vehicle to be a moped. A pedal-less scooter registers as a motorcycle — a permanent $53.25 flat fee plus safety, patrol, and county option taxes.
    • Whether a true pedal-equipped moped requires any registration at all is unconfirmed.
