Street Legal on Two Wheels
In Louisiana, anything with a motor used on the street requires a license plate—even a 49cc scooter. The rules for **Mopeds** (under 50cc) versus **Motorcycles** (over 50cc) are different for titles and endorsements, and getting it wrong can lead to impoundment. We inspect your Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO), determine the legal classification, and issue the correct registration and plate so you are 100% compliant.
