Moped Laws: Missouri

---

GMI

by Andrei Zaitsev

Any vehicle under 50cc and going <=30mph is considered a moped. Pedals are not required, so small scooters by Yamaha and Honda can qualify too.

Moped is permitted on all roads, except interstate highways. It is ok to ride on shoulder, but not on the sidewalk.

Helmet is recommended but not required. Special license, plates, insurance are not required.

Minimum age to ride moped is 16. There might be a way to start at 15 1/2, because this is the min age when you can get a motorcycle learner's permit. Check with local License Bureau about that.
