50cc Scooters License

Scooters 50cc street legal in TN? Need a motorcycle license?

I've tried to check the TN DMV site and Google too, and I do not think can find the answer to this. Does anyone know if, in the state of Tennessee, a 50 cc scooter is street legal? I guess a motorcycle license is needed as well? These probably sound like silly questions but I do not know much about it and I like to learn. I know that the 150cc and 250cc are definitely street legal, just not sure about the smaller size, it is likely that I would start with the one I have never ridden before.

I found this information for you. It looks to me like a moped Tennessee considered to fall under the "motorized bicycle" category (50 cc) to shut its legal reasons for not road with an operator's license, registration and insurance. Sometimes moped coverage can be added to your automobile insurance. Speaking from experience, taking into account this I would advise limiting from a slightly larger cycle as a 150cc – tend to be more stable, more secure, easier to balance, easier learn to ride and last longer. It all depends on where you want to mount it and for how long. Regs MOPED TN 55-8-101. definitions chapter.
