Moped Laws: Arizona

GMI

After almost a month of hassle with the state of arizona concerning licencing and registration of mopeds - here is what I found -

Mopeds are any bike with a helper motor of 50cc or less, 1.5 braking hp, and no speed faster than 25 mph. To lisence a moped you need only a bill of sale. A lot of mopeds were incorectly titled as motorcycles, so if you need to change the "title" over, have a class 1 inspection done to verify it is a moped, then take the paperwork to the DMV to have the title destroyed, and a registration issued.

Registration is $5.00 + $4.50 for tax. Registration for all mopeds expires on Oct 31 of every year. Insurance is required. To drive a moped you need only a valid drivers lisence (dunno about permits) and moped restriction do exist in some cases (if you are unable to drive a car - not for DUI).

Moped Dealers can NOT get dealer plates for their mopeds.

No titles shall be issued to mopeds.

Any new moped bought out of state shall have a 5% tax added to the registration fee (taken from the cost of the moped)

I think that about covers it.
