Do you have to be licensed, if so does it have to be motorcycle license? Are there differences in laws between a 49cc and a 150cc Scooter?

txh is on the money. ohio is the same way. 50cc's and up require a mc permit at the very least. if u dont want to keep having to get a permit every year, u need to pass the mc on-cycle test. keep in mind that the wheel base on the 50cc scooters are very small, and so are the tires. their also limited to a max speed of 45 mph. they'll give u great gas mileage tho...how does almost 80 mpg sound? dont even think about takin a 50cc scooter on a freeway. their not fast enough or stable enough.

In most states (actually, most countries) a scooter or bicycle with an engine of less than 50cc, is considered a motor assisted scooter/bicycle.
No driver's license required; however, most states have minimum age requirements (check with your local DMV) Rules of the road would be the same as those for bicycles: Stay on the right and off sidewalks, signal when turning and most of all, wear a helmet.
Anything above 50cc is considered a motorcycle.

Yes it should be bigger. usually the dimensions of a 150cc scooter will be bigger than a 49cc scooter, as it could improve handlin to accomodate the extra engine size and power. The frame on a 150cc scooter will be stronger (and heavier) than that of a 49cc scooter, as the engine is physically bigger, heavier and more powerful. Frames will be matched to the bikes performance and requirements. It's like putting a wood only screw into masonary wall, you wouldn't do it as it wouldn't be able to cope. So you'd match the screw type to the wall type =P --Mikey B--

In Texas you need a license to opperate a Moped, any size motor to 50cc, then over 50cc you need a motorcycle license.
