Ride Green Scooters, a scooter dealership located in Winter Park, Florida close to Orlando recently discussed how to get started with driving or riding a motor scooter in the state of Florida.
Winter Park, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/11/2016 -- Floridians riding motor scooters are not required by law to have the typical insurance associated with traditional standard vehicles. However, riding a motor scooter with a 49cc engine does require having a valid standard driver's license, though this license can be issued from another state besides Florida.
Motor scooter buyers considering a higher performance model with a 150cc or 250cc engine will need to make sure that their license has a motorcycle endorsement. This endorsement is typically obtained by taking a motorcycle instruction course that lasts two days.
Teenagers seeking to drive a motor scooter must be at least 16 years of age and they must also have a learner's permit that was issued a minimum of one year ago with no citations on record. These drivers may also attend a motorcycle instruction course and upon completion they will receive a "motorcycle only" license through their local Florida DMV.
