Street-legal scooters and mopeds are treated like motorcycles in the state of South Carolina, so you'll need to register and title these vehicles within 45 days of purchase, just as you would a motorcycle.

You'll also need to obtain a Class M Motorcycle endorsement on your regular driver's license for some vehicles, so check with your local DMV to see whether it is required for your bike or one you may be considering. If you are at least 15 years old and already have a driver's license, you don't need a special endorsement to ride a moped.

The registration fee for mopeds and scooters is $10.
