A moped is a type of small motorcycle that typically doesn’t have as strict of licensing requirements as automobiles or full motorcycles. However, you likely still need insurance!
Most mopeds on the market today don’t have manual gears; they simply twist and go. They’re incredibly economical and convenient, an excellent choice for those seeking a little runaround in cities with a lot of traffic.
However, mopeds aren’t allowed on major highways due to their engine size, with a maximum of 50cc. This means most mopeds will only reach between 28 and 30 miles per hour.
Recharging is as simple as plugging into an electric outlet or a charging station.

In the United States, moped insurance requirements differ from state to state, so it’s vital to understand the moped insurance laws in your state.
In most states, you’ll be required to take out a liability insurance policy at a minimum if you have an engine of 50cc or greater.
However, some states require insurance for engines with top speeds below 30 mph or engines less than 50cc. Therefore, it’s critical to educate yourself on the requirements in your state.
In some areas, a license or endorsement is needed to use a moped on the road. However, there are some states where you don’t need a special license at all to ride a moped.

With Harley-Davidson Insurance, we have many different coverages available, ensuring you find the right plan for your moped.
Liability coverage is recommended as the bare minimum you should opt for. If you are found responsible for damages to another individual or their property, you may be covered up to your liability policy limits.
Collision coverage provides coverage for the costs to repair damages to your moped if you hit - or are hit by - another object or vehicle.
We typically recommend comprehensive insurance to protect your moped from damages not covered by collision - such as theft, fire, or vandalism.
