New NC Legislation Regarding Mopeds

Serge Semirog

Running rampant around Europe and gaining traction in the United States, mopeds are quick and easy transportation accessible to people who don't even have a license.  At the beginning of July, NC House Bill 1145 came into affect and changed the regulation governing the beloved vehicles.  

As of July 1st, 2015, mopeds are required to be registered with the NC Department of Motor Vehicles.  The NCDMV defines a moped as:

"Two or three wheels, no external shifter, with a motor not to exceed 50 cubic centimeters of piston displacement and up to 30 mph propulsion on a level surface."

If you are the owner of a moped in North Carolina, be sure to supply your Manufacture's Certificate of Origin (MCO) and a certification of plate and/or address.  Should you not have your MCO, please fill out an Affidavit of Facts for the Registration of a Moped (MVR-58).  In addition, you will need to show your NC Driver License or a valid identification card.

The only change for mopeds is the registration.  Previous requirements for using a moped in NC remain unchanged.  The driver must still be 16 years of age or older and wear a proper motorcycle safety helmet.  

On the plus side, you do not need a Driver License nor do you need liability insurance for the moped.
