Motorcycles and ATV

Rules

You must have a Valid Florida Drivers License to operate two or three wheel vehicles with an engine size of 50cc or less on streets and roadways in Florida. Certain small engine vehicles, like go-peds, motorized skateboards, and go-carts, cannot be legally operated on public streets, roads or highways.

Is there a motorized vehicle you can operate without a driver license?

Yes, if you are at least 16, you may ride a bicycle with an electric helper-motor that cannot go faster than 20mph on level ground.

Is a license required to operate GoPeds, motorized scooters/skateboards, go-carts or other small engine vehicles?

These vehicles are not designed for operation on public roads. If they are operated on public roads, Law Enforcement Officers can ask to see a valid drivers license because these are Motorized Vehicles under driver license law.
