Moped Laws: Tennessee

Tennessee - submitted by Bridget Flynn

Hi, Andy - I'm sending you this info so you could post it on your Moped Laws page...this is straight from the person (a state trooper) in our state's DMV who coordinates the state motorcycle safety program. He read it to me over the phone from TN statute, so I'd say it's pretty reliable.
Under 16 - motorscooter permit required 16 and up - regular driver's licence required (motorcycle license not required) All "motorized bicycles" including mopeds must have tags if they are to be driven on the road.

Interestingly, there is a local moped dealer who may get in a bit of trouble as a result of my inquiry...he's telling people that you don't need a license or tags with a moped. I came very close to buying one from him, and probably would've ended up getting stopped on my way home! Fortunately, he also charges WAY too much $ and something told me, "there's something wrong with this guy." :-/ I notice he's not listed on your dealer list either.
