Good to know

  • Pennsylvania defines a motorized pedalcycle as having an engine of 50cc or less, no more than 1.5 brake horsepower, a top speed of 25 mph or less, operable pedals. Exceed any one of those and the vehicle is legally a motorcycle in Pennsylvania — a different (usually higher) fee, and typically a motorcycle license, title, and insurance.
  • Pennsylvania requires operable pedals and caps design speed at 25 mph — a pedal-less 49cc scooter is not a moped here, and registers as a motorcycle instead.
  • Registration is $11/yr or $22 for two years. A Class C license is enough; no Class M needed.
  • No helmet is required for a moped operator in Pennsylvania.
