We at pocketbiker receive many enquires to know what the scooter laws are in a particular state. These laws can be very vague in many states. We wish we could have the absolute answer for you but in some cases it would take us to much time to get to the right person for the correct answer.
We hope this quick link to your Department of Transportation [DOT] will quickly get you started in the right direction.
