Here in NC, if you scooter 50cc or less, all you need is a helmet. But it cannot exceed 30mph.. Getting caught that is.. lol
Anything over 50cc, its just like every other motorcycle. Way cheaper though.
Full insurance is only $11.27/MO. And the tag was only $12.
My Zip, 2003 85cc 2T, does double that, but has never been tagged or insured.
Even though I have out run the police on it, if they see me rolling through town, all they do is stare me down.
