HD 2475 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to moped safety

HD 2475 (An Act relative to moped safety) defines a "moped" as a bicycle with a motor meeting specific criteria: max 50cc engine, automatic transmission, max 30 mph, and federal safety standards. It clarifies that mopeds without restrictor plates must be classified as motorcycles. The bill requires all moped operators to obtain a motorcycle license instead of a standard driver's license. This directly affects Massachusetts moped riders by changing licensing requirements and establishing a clear regulatory definition for moped classification under state law.
