Answer
Moped Operational laws

approved motorcycle helmet is required;

vehicle must be insured and registered and have a valid licence plate;
no passengers allowed;

they must meet federal safety standards for a limited speed motorcycle;

motor-assisted bicycles are not allowed to travel on 400 series highways.

A new, restricted class M licence for limited-speed motorcycle (LSM) and moped drivers was introduced on November 28, 2005. This new restricted class M licence has a condition that allows licence holders to drive limited-speed motorcycles and mopeds only.

Ontario Rules And Requirements For Mopeds?

Matthew

Im buying a moped, its top speed is about 80. I know with an M1 you cant have passengers, ride at night, go on highways or go on roads exceeding 80. But what other laws are there regarding mopeds? Do you need to wear a special helmet or will a snowmobile one do? Do they require license plates? Insurance? If yes how much do these things cost? What do i need to know as a future moped driver and owner? This is a legitimate moped, and not a bike converter kit. It is a vespa style moped. An older one but still that style.

Answer
A "moped" is a MOtorized PEDal bicycle. Some idiots in some Governments have defined low speed motorcycles to be "mopeds". YOU are not thinking of getting a moped. What you are looking at is a motorcycle, a motorcycle with a step through frame that is often referred as a motor-scooter.

Can you say this: MOTORCYCLE.

Your vehicle is legally and actually a motorcycle. For use on the streets it needs a motorcycle registration with a motorcycle license plate, motorcycle insurance, you need to have a motorcycle driver's license and need to wear a motorcycle helmet.

You do not need to care about "Ontario Rules And Requirements For Mopeds" -- you are not wanting a moped. You need to care about Ontario Rules And Requirements For Motorcycles.

Addendum: for Neiigga
Not rude, helping. He cannot get help looking for "moped" when he wants a "motorcycle." If he wants the rules and requirements he has to look at motorcycles, not mopeds, not scooters. He is talking about an old Vespa 150 or one of the Indian companies like Bajaj. They are legally motorcycles, and those is the rules and requirements he needs.
