    If you're looking for a convenient and affordable alternative method of transportation, a moped or scooter might be the answer. If so, it's important to be aware of the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles' (OMV's) regulations concerning licensing and registration for these vehicles.

    Top Mopeds

    In Louisiana, a motorized bicycle or moped is a pedal bicycle with a motor rated no more than 1.5 brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity of no more than 50 cubic centimeters, and an automatic transmission that produces no more than 25 mph on a flat surface.

    To operate a moped on Louisiana roads, you must be at least 15 years old and have a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement. However, drivers who are between 15 and 16 years of age are restricted to operating their moped within three miles of their primary residence, unless they are traveling with a parent or guardian.

    To register your moped, bring the following documents to your local OMV:

    • Title or notarized certificate of origin
    • Evidence of security interest by a UCC-1 or equivalent form
    • Odometer statement
    • Proof of insurance

    The title fee for a moped is $18.50, plus an $8 handling fee. Additional fees and taxes will vary according to the purchase price of your vehicle and your parish location. If you have a question about moped registration procedures, you can contact the OMV at (877) DMV-LINE.

    Although the OMV is unable to accept credit card payments at walk-in office locations, available forms of payment include:

    • Cash
    • Check (if it includes your driver's license number)
    • Money order
    • Cashier's check

    Regardless of whether your moped has been properly registered, it is against the law to operate it on a sidewalk, interstate highway, or location that will impede traffic flow.

    Top Scooters

    Although scooters are becoming increasingly popular among teenagers and young adults, you may want to think twice before purchasing one to use as a primary method of transportation. According to the Louisiana State Police, gas or electric scooters do not meet the safety-equipment requirements for registration. This means that these vehicles cannot be legally driven on Louisiana roads. If you are found operating a scooter on a public roadway or the shoulder of a public roadway, you will be ticketed.
