What are the Arkansas laws regarding riding a scooter?
Scooters and mopeds are
classified as motor-driven cycles or motorized bicycles, depending upon
their engine displacement. Motor-driven cycles have a displacement of 250
cc or less, and are subject to the same laws regarding licensing and
registration as a motorcycle. The operator of a motor-driven cycle must be
at least 14 years of age, and must be in possession of a Class MD driver’s
license.
Motorized bicycles have a displacement of 50 cc or less. The
operator of a motorized bicycle must be at least 10 years of age, and must
be in possession of a Motorized Bicycles Certificate.
In addition to being in possession of
a driver’s license or certificate, the operator of motor-driven cycle or
motorized bicycle must obey the following regulations:
1. The
operator and any passenger must wear eye protection in the form of
protective glasses, goggles, or a transparent face shield. In addition, a
helmet must be worn if the operator or passenger is under 21 years of age.
2. The
headlight and taillight must be on at all times, day or night, when the
motorcycle is in operation.
3. The
operator will not carry a passenger unless there are footrests and handholds
for the passenger. There can only be one passenger. No driver under 16 is
allowed to carry a passenger.
4. Operators
must obey all traffic laws at all times.
Any person wishing to obtain either a
Class MD license or a Motorized Bicycles Certificate should contact the
Arkansas State Police. Driver license testing for individuals living in
Lonoke County is conducted at Arkansas State Police Headquarters, #1 State
Police Plaza Dr., in Little Rock. The telephone number is (501) 618-8282.
While the written part of the examination must be taken at the state police
testing facility, the motor-driven skills tests may be waived if the
applicant presents proof of successful completion of a Motorcycle Safety
Foundation Riders Course within 90 days prior to application for the license
or certificate.
