<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size">Mopeds and scooters can make commuting a breeze. With small engines and compact frames, you can zip around town around town without guzzling gas or struggling to find a good parking space.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"black","fontSize":"large"} -->
<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size">But for all the convenience of a moped or scooter, it could come with an extra cost: You may need to buy insurance.</p>

<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"black","fontSize":"large"} -->
<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size">Mopeds and scooters are small, two-wheeled vehicles that are powered by gasoline engines.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list {"textColor":"black","fontSize":"large"} -->
<ul class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size"><li><strong>Mopeds</strong>&nbsp;typically have an engine that is under 50 cubic centimeters (50cc) and are not intended for highway travel. Top speed usually does not exceed 30 mph.</li><li><strong>Scooters</strong>&nbsp;often have larger engines that exceed 50cc (sometimes up to 250cc) and the most powerful ones can reach speeds up to 75 mph. But even then you may not be able to ride your scooter on a highway, depending on your state’s engine size and horsepower minimums.</li></ul>

<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size">Mopeds and scooters should not be confused with the e-scooters commonly seen on the streets and sidewalks of many U.S. cities. E-scooters are typically battery-powered, don’t require a driver’s license and often can’t surpass 15 to 20 pmh. Since e-scooters typically require users to stand, they may be excluded from moped, scooter and motorcycle insurance.</p>

<h2 class="has-black-color has-text-color has-extra-large-font-size">Do I Need Moped or Scooter Insurance?</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"black","fontSize":"large"} -->
<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size">Most states require you to have liability auto insurance in order to ride your moped or scooter on public roads if it has an engine size of 50cc or larger or can reach a top speed of 30 mph or more. If your moped is under 50cc or cannot reach 30 mph, you will most likely not be required to get insurance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"black","fontSize":"large"} -->
<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size">A car insurance policy isn’t right for a moped or scooter. Some insurers cover mopeds and scooters under their motorcycle insurance policies. Other insurers offer separate policies for mopeds or scooters. If you lease or finance a moped or scooter, the lender or leasing company will likely require that you insure it.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list {"textColor":"black","fontSize":"large"} -->
<ul class="has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size"><li><strong>Bodily injury and property damage liability.</strong>&nbsp;This covers property damage and injuries you do to others.</li><li><strong>Collision and comprehensive insurance.</strong>&nbsp;These are two separate coverage types that are often sold together. Collision coverage pays for repairs if you damage your moped or scooter in an accident. Comprehensive insurance covers problems like theft, vandalism, flood, fire and collisions with animals. If you have a lease or loan, your leasing company or lender will likely require you to carry these coverage types.</li><li><strong>Carried contents and belongings.</strong>&nbsp;This covers your belongings that are damaged, stolen or lost while you’re riding the moped or scooter.</li><li><strong>Medical payments.</strong>&nbsp;If you get into an accident, this covers medical bills and funeral costs for you and your passengers, no matter who was at fault.</li><li><strong>Uninsured or underinsured motorists.</strong>&nbsp;This pays for your medical bills, lost income and other expenses if someone crashes into you and they do not carry liability insurance or have inadequate coverage.</li></ul>
