There are too many laws right now for a “free” country. Leave it be before the government finds a way to tax it… I mean not tax make you pay “fees”.

Different states have different laws.
In Maryland, a scooter under 70cc is legal to ride on public roads that have a speed limit under 50mph – without requiring a motorcycle license, insurance coverage and register the vehicle, same as a bicycle.
Most states classify a scooter over 50cc a motorcycle and must follow the DVM laws for all motorized vehicles.
