Many residents have
questioned the Police about the
legality of having children operating motorized scooters or "Go-Peds" as
they are commonly known. Many young people are utilizing the
motorized scooters as a means of transportation. However, these scooters
as defined by NJ Motor Vehicle and Traffic Laws, N.J.S.A. 39:1-1, are
considered motor vehicles and more specifically, considered a motorcycle.
Since these scooters are
considered as motor vehicles, they are therefore
to be operated by a licensed operator, properly registered, and insured.
