"According to the DMV a moped or scooter must meet the following restrictions:
-It must have an engine of 50 cubic centimeters or less.
-It cannot exceed 30 mph on level terrain.
-It cannot shift.
-It cannot exceed two horsepower.
-If it classifies as a moped or scooter you need to register it at a registration office. Otherwise, if it's a motorcycle, you must register it with your city or town clerk.
Registering Mopeds and Scooters
When registering bring a bill of sale and the bike's old registration form (if it's used), or the manufacturer's certificate of origin (MCO) (if it's new).
Though not required, the DMV highly advises bringing along a photograph of the bike. This helps DMV agents determine if the bike does indeed qualify as a moped or scooter.
Fees
It costs $3 to register, and that includes the one-year moped plate."
