Vehicle Registration

This is intended to supply you with general information and may not apply to your particular local laws. Please check with your local DMV office before ordering to find out your particular registration requirements. We do not accept returns if you are required to register your item and cannot.

Mopeds

All states require you to register any mopeds higher than 50cc that you intend to use on the public streets. 50cc mopeds generally do not need to be registered.

A select few states require you to register ANY vehicle if you intend to use it on the public streets no matter what the engine size is. Please contact your local DMV to see if you are in one of those states.

Other Vehicles

Most states do not require you to register vehicles that you intend to use off-road. ATV's, G-Kart's, Dirt Bikes, and scooters fall under this category. Electric bicycles and electric mopeds with pedals are not required to be registered. However there have been a couple of states that have required some sort of registration for off-road vehicles. Please contact your local DMV and see if you are in one of those states.

Registration Paperwork

We will email you an invoice and mail you an MSO/MCO (Manufacturers Certificate of Origin). In most states this will be all you need to successfully register your item. We don't collect sales tax for any state except Iowa. Your local DMV will probably wish to collect sales tax when you register. If the paperwork we send will not suffice for your local DMV office, do not place an order. We cannot accept returns based on an inability to register your item.

Recommendations

We recommend that you keep it simple. If you are not required to register your vehicle, then don't. Once you register your vehicle you will need to pay sales tax and pay any tag and title fees to your state. Once you have registered your vehicle you will be required to pay tag renewal fees every year.
