Opinion: Scooter Rentals Should Require Motorcycle Endorsement

I’m going to confess my own bias here. I dislike 50cc scooters as a class. When I’m brought to power, all currently 50cc scooters will be required to upgrade to 100cc or larger engines, and anyone who’d care to ride one will be required to get their motorcycle endorsement. You know, like an adult.

Opinion: Should the 50cc License Gap Close?

In many places around the world, there are two classes of scooters: those below 50cc and those above 50cc. For scooters and mopeds below 50cc that meet certain other standards (such as making less than 2 hp or being capable of only 34 mph) owners aren’t required to get a separate motorcycle endorsement on their drivers license to operate these vehicles on the road. In some places, these sub-50cc bikes don’t even have to be titled or registered.
