What endorsement is required for mopeds under certain conditions?

• A. You can operate with any class of license; unless the bike can go over 30 mph or has more than 50 cc, you must have a motorcycle endorsement
• B. You must have a standard license only
• C. Mopeds require only a bicycle license
• D. Mopeds require no license

Answer: (A)

Oregon distinguishes mopeds from motorcycles by how fast they can go and how big their engine is. A vehicle that stays at or below 30 mph and has 50 cc or less is considered a moped, and you can operate it with any license class. If the bike can go faster than 30 mph or has more than 50 cc, it’s treated as a motorcycle, and you must have a motorcycle endorsement. This setup ensures your licensing matches the riding capabilities of the vehicle.
