Scooters Chicago Il

Do I need a motorcycle license to drive a scooter in IL?

I live near Chicago and am thinking of buying a motorcycle (less than 50 cc), like the Piaggio Fly 50. Will I need a motorcycle license to drive?

From the DMV: (requires a) L driver's license class to ride a moped or scooter, as long as the engine displacement is less than 150 cubic centimeters. If the displacement is 150cc or more, you will need M-Class License It also requires that the vehicle is registered.
