    Though mopeds and scooters look harmless, the South Dakota Motor Vehicles Divsion (MVD) does require registration for these motorized bikes. For clarity's sake, the MVD considers mopeds and scooters as one and the same.

    Moped and Scooter Definition

    Before registering, determine that your bike classifies as a moped or scooter. South Dakota defines a moped as any two- or three-wheel bike featuring:

    • An engine that's 50 cubic centimeters (cc) or less.
    • No clutching or shifting.

    If the engine size exceeds 50 cubic centimeters the moped or scooter may be licensed as a motorcycle.

    Moped and Scooter Registration

    Visit your county treasurer's office within 30 days of purchasing with:

    • Proof of paying sales tax
    • Either a manufacturer's statement of origin or a bill of sale
    • Payment for $5 title fee
