Which motorcycles can you drive without a license in 2022?

A category “A” license gives the driver the right to drive a motorcycle. They are one of the easiest to obtain. Motorcycles with a small engine capacity, as well as mopeds, are available for riding from the age of 16, but only with open categories M or A1.

You can drive powerful motorcycles and motorcycles with sidecars from the age of 18. Training is easier for those who know the rules of the road or already have an open category B.

Category A training includes the same as category B – a car, the only difference is control exercises during practical driving training and the cost of training. Learning to ride a motorcycle is significantly cheaper and costs around 10-15 thousand rubles. Of course, not counting the fact that you will then have to go broke paying for the medical examination (about 2,000 rubles) and the state fee for obtaining a license (still 2,000 rubles).

To what extent are licenses required for motorcycles and other motor vehicles?

The need for a license is primarily determined by the power and maximum speed of motorcycle transport. The driver will need a license of two categories: “M” and “A”:

1. In the first case, the motor power is 250 W-1.5 kW, and the maximum speed cannot exceed 50 km/h.
2. Subcategory “A1” refers to light motorcycles whose engine power does not exceed 3 kW. However, they should not accelerate faster than 90 km/h.
3. To operate motorcycles with a power of more than 3 kW, you will need category “A”.

People who have a category “B” driver’s license only need to undergo a medical examination and receive a positive conclusion.

Along with traditional motorcycles and mopeds, on Russian roads you can increasingly see vehicles that run on electricity. Such scooters have a number of advantages. Among them are efficiency, noiselessness, and excellent dynamics. In addition, such transport is environmentally friendly.

Motorcycles

This type of transport is dangerous due to its speed, therefore, for vehicles with an engine capacity of 50, 125, 250 cubic centimeters, a category “A” driver’s license is required. Ignoring this requirement may result in a fine of 15,000 rubles and confiscation of the vehicle to the penalty area.

Only persons over 18 years of age may operate a motorcycle. At the same time, do not forget about the license plate, the serviceability of lighting devices, and a protective helmet.

Mopeds

This vehicle visually resembles a bicycle with a motor. Everywhere, back in Soviet times, underage children rode them without any rights. Unfortunately, accident statistics involving such vehicles have been steadily increasing.

Starting from 2022, according to Russian legislation, driving a moped with an engine capacity of 50 cc will require an M category license. Violation of the rules will entail a fine of 15,000 rubles.

You can drive this simple-design vehicle in Russia from the age of 16. To do this, you need to undergo training and pass an exam at the traffic police. It is necessary to register this vehicle and obtain license plates. Now drivers bear full responsibility for violating traffic rules and damage caused by road accidents.

Even during the Soviet Union, mopeds became widespread.

Scooters

Along with mopeds, driving these vehicles requires an “M” license. As a rule, the engine capacity of scooters does not exceed 50 cubic centimeters.

To drive them, you need to undergo training at a driving school and pass exams with the participation of a traffic police inspector. On the other hand, if you have a driver's license "B" for a passenger car, no additional exams are required. In this case, you will need a medical certificate with a positive conclusion, which you must take with you.

In addition, you must register this vehicle and also have a technical passport for it. OSAGO insurance for scooters is voluntary.

Pitbikes

Mainly, such a small vehicle is intended for sports driving on various tracks. On the Russian market you can find copies with engine capacities of 50, 110, 125, 150 cubic centimeters. Therefore, rights are needed for any of them.

For the smallest pit bike, category “M” will be sufficient. For other variants of this motorcycle transport, you must obtain an “A” license.

Representatives of the traffic police pay increased attention to such vehicles, since their drivers are most prone to violating traffic rules. Registering a pit bike with the traffic police is quite difficult, since this requires installing a speedometer, reflectors, and turn indicators. Otherwise, you can only ride them on sports tracks.

This vehicle is something between a motorcycle and a moped.

Electric scooters

This vehicle is the most economical and environmentally friendly.

The engine capacity here rarely exceeds 50 cc, and the power is 250-4000 W. To drive this electric vehicle you need to obtain an M category license.

More powerful copies need to be registered and take out MTPL insurance. If this is not done, then the electric scooter may end up in a parking lot, and the driver will lose 15,000 rubles, which will have to be paid in the form of a fine.

Legal standards

The procedure for obtaining a temporary residence permit periodically undergoes a number of changes. According to the rules, you can only drive a car if you are 18 years old. Similar age restrictions apply to driving a motorcycle. When necessary, you can obtain two permits at once, because it is easiest to open category A in conjunction with a class B permit.

Please note: if you obtain a license of category M, A1 or B1, you can only drive those vehicles that fall within the specified tolerances. But an open type A permit gives the right to drive not only a motorcycle, but also any equipment from the above categories.

The essence of the procedure

To pass your motorcycle license, you will need to prove your knowledge. Moreover, the exam will be not only on theory, but also on practical part.

You can get the necessary training at a regular driving school, which has the appropriate department. It is permissible to contact a specialized motorcycle school.

Testing the theory

Before passing the practical part, you must demonstrate the acquired theoretical skills. This can be done in one of the traffic police departments, or at the place of training.

The entire course of the theoretical part in this category lasts about 110 hours. There is no question of undergoing external training (although there was such an opportunity before).

Please note: only those who recently (less than 3 months ago) passed the theoretical exam for category B are exempt from attending lectures. Often, time restrictions make this rule relevant only to people who open both categories at the same time.

Since the rules are the same for all road users, it will not be difficult for a person with driving experience to pass the theoretical exam for category A.

Driving

Only those who have passed the theoretical exam well can test their skills in practice. But in addition to good results, it is necessary to have positive recommendations from your driving instructor.

This part of the tests includes:

• Getting to know the training ground.
• Studying different brands of motorcycles.
• Application of acquired theoretical knowledge in practice.

There may be more driving lessons than required by law (at least 18 hours). In this case, the conditions are specified additionally. Moreover, the word “hour” means an astronomical period of time equal to 60 minutes.

The practical part is handed over at a specialized motorcycle or auto site. There are a number of exercises that must be completed in order to obtain a motorcycle license. They can be divided into 3 blocks and classified as follows:

• Acceleration-braking; overall semicircle; large corridor.
• Driving at low speed; rut board; snake
• Dimensional eight.

For the exam to be valid, all tasks must be presented with minimal errors. For each miss, a certain number of penalty points are awarded. The maximum allowed number is 4. Otherwise, the applicant is sent to retake.

Violations, as well as the amount of penalty points for each of them, are displayed in the table:

Driving is rented at the site. There is no need to travel to the city to conduct an exam for this category. After all parts of the exam are successfully passed, the student has the right to receive category A.

If the applicant fails to complete any task, he is given a retake date. This usually happens within a week. In this case, you are allowed to try to pass the practical exam for 6 months. This is stated in paragraph 12 of Government Resolution No. 1097. The main rule is to successfully pass the theoretical test.

Required documents

To obtain an appropriate driver's license, you must provide the following documents to the traffic police department:

1. Statement. A sample of it can be found on our website or at the traffic police department.
2. Identity document (usually a passport).
3. A piece of paper from a driving school indicating completion of all stages of training.
4. Medical certificate.
5. Receipt for payment of state duty.
6. Previously issued driver's license.
7. Photos in the amount of 2 pieces (depending on the department, they are taken on site).

A candidate may be denied a license or a replacement license in some cases. Here they are:

• Insufficient number of documents provided.
• Any papers are unreliable.
• Poor health.
• The applicant was deprived of his rights in a category that was already open to him.

Obtaining a new permit with a valid driver's license in hand is not difficult at all. To open category A in the presence of B, a number of certain conditions must be met. This procedure can be simplified as much as possible if you open two permissions at the same time (A and B).

According to the law, which motorcycles do not require licenses and registration in 2022?

In accordance with Russian legislation, a driver's license is not required to drive motorcycles whose power ratings are less than those required for the "M" category.

In addition, in 2022, a license is not required to drive the following motorcycle vehicles:

• motocross motorcycles that cannot be ridden on public roads;

• snowmobiles, which can only move on snow;

• with an ATV when driving on rough terrain, a tractor license may be required (from 16 years of age);

• a bicycle with a removable low-power internal combustion engine;

• mono-wheels - you can ride them only on special bicycle paths, where they are considered equal to bicycles; outside the sidewalk they are equal to mopeds.

Traveling on the vehicles described above is allowed without any documents. In addition, they are not required to register with the traffic police.

Table of driving license categories in 2022

On November 5, 2013, changes to the Law “On Road Safety” came into force, which not only changed the list of driver’s license categories, but also added completely new subcategories.

The breakdown of driving license categories is given in the following table:

What motorcycles and mopeds can you ride from the age of 16?

You can get a driver’s license of category “M”, subcategory “A1” in Russia from the age of 16. To do this, you need to undergo full training at a certified driving school.

To start studying for a license at the age of 16, you need to obtain permission from your parents.

The training course contains several important stages:

• a thorough study of the theoretical part, which includes familiarity with the rules of the road, the basics of emergency medical care, the psychology of behavior on the road, the design of the vehicle;
• practicing practical driving skills on a special site, in a real city;
• passing an internal exam consisting of a theoretical and practical part.

The cadet must have at least 18 hours of driving experience, but at the same time, practical driving must be about 30 hours. In some cases, due to violation of this requirement, the applicant may not be allowed to take the exam. Driving licenses are issued for a period of 10 years. During this time, a person can ride light motorcycles, scooters, mopeds with an electric or gasoline engine both on small city streets and on major highways outside the city.

Thus, regardless of the type of motorcycle transport, a driver’s license is required to operate it in cases where the vehicle is driven on public roads.

Comments 6

In Soviet times, if the author is not in the know and is in a snowstorm, a moped also required a driver’s license, which was issued at the age of 14. Rubber restrictions for boats were easily established by Rostechnadzor, but with various small vehicles, well, that’s a problem. They quickly forgot everything that happened in Soviet times and tell tales about difficulties. The whole problem with regulating these issues is in lobbying the interests of the sellers of all this crap. And drivers of all these bells and whistles, as well as bicycles, need to get it into their heads that across the pedestrian crossing, all these devices should be carried on foot and not rushed along the zebra crossing on them. Then they will stop knocking down. In the GDR, in a group of troops, all cyclists were trained in the rules of safe riding and received a certificate of training and a simplified license plate. What prevents you from doing the same with all this disgrace.

What about a walk-behind tractor, what rights are needed, if any?

Without a generator and lighting, a bicycle with a motor cannot be considered a moped. This is the incompetence of legislators.

Taxi...where is it written that a 50cc SCOOTER must be registered.

The “stool” does not have a PTS by default... and you can’t register it with gasoline under insurance.

Author, why are you misleading your readers?

“The driver will need a license of two categories: “M” and “A”: In the first case, the motor power is 250 W-1.5 kW, and the maximum speed cannot exceed 50 km/h. Subcategory “A1” refers to light motorcycles whose engine power does not exceed 3 kW. However, they should not accelerate faster than 90 km/h. To operate motorcycles with a power of more than 3 kW, you will need category “A.”

But here's how it really is: M - internal combustion engine up to 50 cm3 (without power limitation) or electric motor 250-4000 W - and speed up to 50 km/h; A1 - engine 50-125 cm3 up to 11 kW (without speed limit); A - above the above

The numbers 3 kW and 90 km/h - you dreamed. A moped of such power is, in principle, not capable of accelerating so quickly. An electric motor of less than 250 W and a speed of up to 25 km/h - you can drive from the age of 14 without a license.

No one will make a license for a scooter when they can just as easily do it for a motorcycle. This is the time. two - the battery has run out; refilling it quickly will not work. And you will have to drag it for kilometers. And kind people will treat you to gasoline and off you go... Three - power and cross-country ability and safety as a more massive vehicle allows you to drive more confidently on the road; these are gasoline-powered motorcycles. And in general, they are not right they will give guarantees that in an unknown state in their zinc coffin no one will be knocked down, that it is already scary to drive on 2 wheels... it turns out that on 2 wheels people risk their lives and why do you care about that? Why then do you have to pay for your license? But your license is wrong, if someone hits you, they’ll hit you in Africa too... electric trains, let’s just let it be up to 3 kW, it’s a personal mobile, same phone... power is not always speed, but first of all cross-country ability so that If a wheel doesn’t burn out, for example in mud, the load increases to 3 kW per wheel, while on clean asphalt it simply spends 250 watts at the same speed. Then this unfortunate motor will definitely burn out from this, which is why the motor that uses it becomes more powerful this is the norm...and not drive through that mud? - Excuse me, these scooters and so on have given up. Please let the buses pass through these e.enya...and make the prices cheaper, otherwise you’ll just have to work for travel...and in general, you first need to learn at school (especially physics) before telling people what to do...

Motorcycles with sidecars

Previously, such equipment was very popular in the USSR; it was used as an inexpensive and accessible alternative to a passenger car. Throughout the 20th century, motorcycles with a cradle were widespread in the armies of different countries. But over time, they began to lose popularity and are currently produced in limited quantities.

At first glance, it seems obvious that riding a motorcycle with a sidecar is very different from riding a two-wheeler. This is a much less maneuverable, but also more stable technique that requires special skills. Therefore, it is not always immediately clear what license is needed for a motorcycle with a sidecar.

But if you remember that the cradle, as a rule, can be unhooked, everything falls into place. Management will also require Category A, without any additional training. However, before you hit the road on a motorcycle with a side trailer, you need to thoroughly study the characteristics of its behavior on the road. An inexperienced driver can easily cause the vehicle to tip over when turning or lose control due to pulling to the side when accelerating and braking.

The need to register mopeds (scooters) up to 50 cc with the traffic police

Quite often, drivers of mopeds and scooters wonder whether their vehicle needs to be registered with the traffic police, and if so, what to do and what documents are needed? This is exactly what you should take care of in advance so that there are no problems during operation. The main criteria will be the power and size of the moped itself, since this determines the need for registration or not.

How is this regulated in the new edition of the traffic rules?

Starting from January 2022, the status of mopeds, which include scooters, has been completely determined. Current legislation equates scooters to mopeds, which means that from this year they are subject to mandatory registration, but under certain conditions, which we will consider further.

In accordance with Part 2 of the Russian Traffic Rules:

2.1. The driver of a motor vehicle is obliged to:

2.1.1. Carry with you and, at the request of police officers, hand over to them for verification:

– registration documents for this vehicle ( except for mopeds ), and if there is a trailer – also for the trailer ( except for trailers for mopeds ).

In accordance with paragraph 1.2 of the Russian Federation Traffic Regulations:

“Moped” is a two- or three-wheeled mechanical vehicle , the maximum design speed of which does not exceed 50 km/h , having an internal combustion engine with a displacement not exceeding 50 cubic meters. cm, or an electric motor with a rated maximum power in continuous load mode of more than 0.25 kW and less than 4 kW. Quadricycles with similar technical characteristics are considered equal to mopeds.

Attention! According to current regulations, registration of a moped (scooter) with a volume of up to 50 cc. No traffic police required!

Also, mopeds equipped with an electric motor with a minimum power not exceeding 0.25-4 kW, which equates to a volume of fifty cubic centimeters, also fall under this category. Moreover, even bicycles with mounted motors are also required to register if their characteristics exceed the permissible limits.

Attention! To drive scooters with an engine capacity of up to 50 cm3, you need a category “M” driver’s license.

It is worth noting the fact that for drivers who already have a “B” series driving category, they can safely use a scooter, since they do not need to pass exams to open the “M” category for driving. This can be done starting from the age of 16, since the State Traffic Inspectorate annually recorded traffic accidents involving minor drivers of low-power scooters. It was this fact that became the key to changing the age limit.

Despite the fact that mopeds up to 50 cc. registration is not required; it is advisable to have with you title documents confirming your rights as the owner of this vehicle.

To register, you will need to take out a compulsory motor liability insurance policy on a voluntary basis; many insurance companies provide this opportunity.

What can you drive without a license?

There is such a type of vehicle as motocross mopeds . As a rule, they are always powerful and can overcome difficult routes due to their specific design. Moreover, the more power and engine capacity for these mopeds, the better.

The whole point is that they qualify not as vehicles, but as sports equipment, since there is a sport in which they are used. It follows that these mopeds are not allowed on roads, but they are an excellent option for riding on country roads or on roads clear of other vehicles.

Where can you drive without a license?

Yes, everywhere! But only under one important condition - you have the status of a driver learner. And the driver in this case is training you, and it is he who is responsible for your traffic violations.

But on the merits of the issue, you cannot drive anywhere without a license if a special right is provided for a given vehicle after successfully passing the exams.

Is it true that you can drive through fields without a license?

Not true. Contrary to the popular belief that traffic rules apply only on public roads, and not on country roads and dirt roads, you will need your license everywhere, although there are different opinions on this matter, based on 2 opposite poles.

At one extreme are people who believe that traffic rules apply absolutely everywhere. And to confirm this, they quote from the current traffic rules:

1.1. These Traffic Rules establish a uniform traffic procedure throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation.

But at the other extreme are off-road enthusiasts who read the definitions of traffic and roads:

road traffic is a set of social relations that arise in the process of moving people and goods with or without vehicles within roads; road – a strip of land or a surface of an artificial structure equipped or adapted and used for the movement of vehicles.

As we see, both opinions have the right to exist. And the second camp, which justifies driving through fields without a license, is opposed by the fact that a road is still a strip of land used for movement. And since we are driving along it in this case, that means we are using... That means the road... That means we are participating in the process of road traffic, and we are required to comply with traffic regulations.

Is it true that you can drive on a race track without a license?

The analogy here is the same as with the ability to control without rights across the field. The autodrome is a closed area. Other traffic rules may be established on it. But they cannot contradict the traffic rules.

In addition, in essence, the above definitions of road traffic and roads, the race track is not an exception to roads and road traffic.

What documents are needed for registration

Each registration process has its own characteristics, according to which the entire procedure takes place. Registration of a moped or scooter with a capacity of 50 cc. see and above is carried out in the presence of the following set of documents:

• contract of sale;
• general passport;
• vehicle passport;
• a copy of the cargo customs declaration (only in cases of first registration).

After all the documents have been collected, you can contact the traffic police to have the vehicle registered.

Registration option without any documents

Situations often arise when a person wants to register his vehicle (scooter), but he is missing some important documents. The question arises whether he can do this, because the legality of riding a scooter will depend on this.

This possibility exists, but to do this you will have to collect all the documents that relate to this motor vehicle. These may include checks or sales contracts, that is, those that will directly indicate the fact that the moped really belongs to this person.

The procedure looks like this:

1. The first step is to contact the traffic police. To do this, you must have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and a document that will confirm the purchase of this vehicle. It must be in the name of the future owner, since otherwise the entire registration process may become even more complicated and lengthy. Otherwise, if it is not in the owner’s name or is missing altogether, contact the MREO for clarification. This is done at the place of registration.
2. After the first stage, all necessary documents are filled out to undergo number verification, and then the fee is paid.
3. After the verification has been completed, inspection workers certify the forms and affix a stamp.
4. When all the documents are completed and ready, you need to contact the MREO at your place of registration. There you can also submit an application about your desire to register your own vehicle.

It should be taken into account that after such registration, it will be impossible to remove it for the next three years. This applies to both scooters and mopeds or other types of motorized transport. A driver's license is not required to register. To do this, a person must be over 18 years old and have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Required documents to ride a small scooter

It should be remembered that not only the registration of a 50 cc scooter. in the traffic police is the only and necessary one. To travel on a scooter, the following documents are required:

1. They undergo a state technical inspection and receive a coupon that certifies the passage.
2. MTPL insurance (on a voluntary basis, but in some cases it is indispensable).
3. Register with the traffic police.
4. Availability of a medical certificate that authorizes the use and operation of this vehicle.
5. Actually, a license (driver’s license), without which driving is illegal (categories M, A, A1).

In order to obtain a medical certificate to drive a vehicle (in this case, a small scooter), they undergo a specialized medical examination at a clinic or at a driving school, if a driver’s automobile commission works there. The best option is a clinic, but if a person receives a driver’s license at a driving school, then it is better to register everything there right away. In order to undergo a medical examination, you must have a medical card, passport and military ID for men. Women are also required to undergo an examination by a gynecologist.

You can get a license after successfully passing a driving test and a traffic rules test at the State Traffic Inspectorate. However, if a person already had an open driving category (for example, “B”), he does not need to hand over everything. The process will only consist of waiting for them to be processed.

The exam for obtaining the appropriate driving category consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. If an attempt to pass any part is unsuccessful, the person is sent for a retake. It can happen no earlier than a week from the date of the last delivery. A total of 3 attempts are allowed for a retake. If they were unsuccessful, then the next test is scheduled at least 30 days later.

If a person managed to successfully pass both parts of the exam, be it the first attempt, or even the third, he receives a driver’s license of the appropriate category. It will be valid for 10 years.

What will it be like to drive without a license?

So, the last issue we are considering is the fine for violations due to the lack of the right to drive at all or a certain category (if there is no category, you do not have the right to drive this vehicle, so the fine is the same).

It ranges from 5 to 15 thousand rubles under Part 1 of Article 12.7 of the Administrative Code. This fine is imposed in cases of driving:

• on a scooter without any category of license,
• on a motorcycle without open category “A”,
• on an ATV without a tractor license,
• by car without category “B”,
• in all other cases when you need the appropriate category to drive this vehicle, but you do not have it in your license.

Fine

Don’t forget the fact that if there is no document confirming registration or no driver’s license, the driver faces a fine. All this is clarified during an inspection by traffic police officers. This is stated in Part 1 of Art. 12.7 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations. The size of the fine varies depending on the severity of the situation. It starts from 5,000 (five thousand) rubles and reaches 15,000 (fifteen thousand) rubles.
According to Part 2 of Article 12.9 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations, the offender may receive a fine of 800 (eight hundred) rubles.

Cost of education

The cost of training at a driving school will depend on certain factors, such as the region of location and the prices of the educational institution itself. Typically, the cost of training ranges from 4 to 10 thousand rubles, but in some regions driving schools can set prices in the range of up to 20 thousand rubles.

When determining which school to study at, you should not immediately enroll in the institution that offers its services at the lowest price - such an advantage may hide disadvantages in the form of a low material and technical base, insufficient qualifications and experience of teachers.

Scooter from abroad

Quite often they buy small scooters abroad because, as a rule, they cost less there and are almost always in better condition. However, all this is suitable for comparison if a person purchases a used moped. If it is new, its condition will naturally be different from a used one.

When purchasing abroad, a special document is issued, which confirms the fact that the moped was imported into the country legally. Do not forget that the customs clearance documents must be issued to the owner of the scooter.

After this, you can go to register the vehicle at the traffic police. There, after the entire procedure, a technical ticket is issued and numbers are issued, which are attached to the back. A technical pass is a document that a driver must always have when driving on the road.

To summarize, it should be said that from 2022, in accordance with the law, scooters are treated as motor vehicles (even small ones), which means that they are registered with the traffic police. This is possible both with the presence of all documents and with their absence. It is worth noting that in the second case the procedure is much longer and more complicated. You should also remember that, in accordance with changes in Russian legislation, you can drive a moped from the age of 16.

At what age can you drive a motorcycle?

The answer to the question of whether a license for a moped is needed is “yes”, because they are necessary to confirm knowledge of traffic rules, as well as the ability to drive a vehicle in heavy traffic.

The driver of such equipment is a full participant in the traffic and without skills and knowledge poses a danger not only to himself, but also to other people.

It is important to know! It is possible to obtain a license for a moped from the age of 16, despite the fact that the legislator has not determined the minimum age.

Issues a traffic police license after successful exams and receipt of a medical certificate confirming the absence of contraindications to driving. The main diseases that prevent you from driving a motorcycle are:

• Any psychological abnormalities requiring treatment with psychotropic medications.
• Reduced vision from 0.6 and below, blindness.
• Epilepsy.
• Absence of limbs or their different lengths, impairing coordination.
• Violation of the vestibular apparatus.
• Having undergone serious operations that impair consciousness, coordination, perception of the surrounding space, etc.

In other cases, you can obtain a license for a scooter in the general manner. This is an important document that must be provided with the general package of papers. Usually, without it, a person is not even allowed to take the exam.

How to register a scooter, moped, or scooter? What motor vehicles are subject to registration with the traffic police?

Not long ago , changes regarding the registration of motor scooters (scooters) and mopeds came into force

Owners of motor vehicles with a certain engine power are now required to register them , receive a technical inspection certificate and have a compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance policy.

Otherwise, they face a large fine for lack of vehicle registration and another fine for lack of MTPL insurance.

Summing up

Perhaps this is all I wanted to tell you about electric scooters and electric scooters. And what you should remember more firmly is this:

• For electric scooters, you need to get category “M” power supply, since their power is in the range of 350-5000 W.
• An electric scooter will not need a power supply if its engine power does not exceed 250 kW. Mostly children's models are equipped with such motors.
• 5000-15000 rub. – fine for driving an electric scooter without a license. Despite the fact that an inspector is unlikely to stop an electric scooter driver, there is also such a risk.
• 7000-34000 rub. training for category “M” will cost;
• 16 years old – from this age you can cover category “M”, which is convenient. You can only get a driver's license of category "A" or "B" if you turn 18.
• Riding on sidewalks is almost always prohibited on almost any adult motorcycle-type vehicle, regardless of whether or not a license is required.

Which mopeds, motor scooters, scooters need to be registered and which not?

Do I need to register a scooter, moped, or scooter?
Any motor vehicle with an engine power of more than 50 horsepower inclusive is subject to mandatory registration .

For motorcycle vehicles (motor scooter, scooter, moped) with an engine power of up to 50 cc, registration with the traffic police is not required.
