If the smallest scooters are accessible without a license, they still impose to respect several rules too often neglected. - IStock / City Presse

While some light and slow vehicles can be driven without a license, this does not mean that they are not exempt from being declared to the authorities and insured. Like carts, even the smallest mopeds and scooters must undergo a registration procedure in order to receive the registration card essential for their circulation.

A free process

It was in 2004, then in 2009, that two-wheelers of less than 50 cm3 were progressively subject to the same rules as their better-motorized counterparts. Since April 15, 2009, the registration of all mopeds is indeed compulsory, whether it is a first entry into service or a used vehicle, and that it dates before July 2004 or after.

Today, this procedure can be carried out by the professional who sold you your new machine or by yourself for a used model, by going to the teleservice set up by the National Agency for Secured Titles: Registration .ants.gouv.fr. The bill will be much less salty than for a motorcycle or a car, since the procedure is completely free for 2-wheel or 3-wheel mopeds without bodywork.

In the nails

Driving a motorcycle less than 50cc involves following several rules. First of all training. Accessible from 14 years old, this type of vehicle requires the holder of the AM category of the driving license. This title is obtained at the end of a minimum training of 8 hours and does not come within the framework of the permit to point. Then insurance. The law requires any driver of two-wheeled motor vehicles whose speed exceeds 6 km / h to be insured at least for civil liability.

And finally the equipment: the wearing of an approved helmet and certified gloves is compulsory for the driver and his passenger.
