It's happening around San Marcos . . .



There are a bunch of these on the streets now. About 48cc, loud, fast and fun!

At what size is a license required?

[tertius]

From the Texas Transportation Code.

(8) "Moped" means a motor-driven cycle that cannot attain a speed in one mile of more than 30 miles per hour and the engine of which:
(A) cannot produce more than two-brake horsepower; and
(B) if an internal combustion engine, has a piston displacement of 50 cubic centimeters or less and connects to a power drive system that does not require the operator to shift gears.


Sec. 521.084. CLASS M LICENSE. A Class M driver's license authorizes the holder of the license to operate a motorcycle or moped.

So in short a Class M License.

Super scooter, Jules.

Thanks Jules,

Yeah, some folks on the Rat Rod Forum are using them.

In the picture (nice shot BTW), Huffy Cranbrook - about $80 at Walmart online with a $20 store card rebate. About the same price in the stores, but I don't think you get the gift card. Basic, fairly sturdy coaster brake bike for a Chinese made bike. The engine kit is about $300. You install.

I'll just pedal!

Thanks guys,
Yes the students around Texas State are using them a lot.
