Buy a Moped or Scooter in the USA
Order a new moped or scooter online and have it delivered
Buying a moped or scooter online has become increasingly common. Many models can be ordered directly and delivered to your home. This is especially convenient if there are no local dealers nearby or if you want to compare different models and prices.
Below are example vehicle types, including gasoline scooters and electric sit-down scooters. Availability, pricing, and road legality vary by state.
What to consider before buying
Before purchasing a moped or scooter in the United States, you should check your local laws. Depending on your state, the same vehicle may be classified as a moped, motorized bicycle, or motorcycle.
Important factors include:
- Engine size (usually 50cc or less for mopeds)
- Maximum speed (often around 30 mph)
- License requirements (permit, driver license, or motorcycle endorsement)
- Registration and insurance requirements
- Electric vs. gasoline engine
Electric scooters are quieter and more environmentally friendly, while gasoline scooters usually offer longer range and faster refueling.
