Looking for some education on mopeds/Scooters, (ie: 49cc or less) and how they would differ from anything above that.
I'm aging myself, but I always understood mopeds or motorized bicycles with less than 49cc to be treated differently than a regular bike.
I've been doing all this research this week and I see that since 2005 the M class license now required for for all bikes regardless, that's all fine.
I also saw Ontario has a new low speed vehicle pilot program which locks down some conditions for low speed vehicles, like no streets over 50km/h etc.
Now there's insurance, don't mopeds qualify for cheaper insurance?
All of this because I just bought a used gas scooter for under $1000 which won't even be used on the roads ultimately (used as a pit bike at the track) and if I wanted to plate it for the road the only insurance I'm being told can be on it, even without road coverage is $3500. That doesn't make sense to me.
If mopeds are just treated like any other bike, why would anyone buy one? Is it that electric mopeds are the only one's exempt now? I see them downtown all the time.
