Arkansas Motorized Assisted Bike Laws
Moped definition
A motorized bicycle, or moped, must have human powered pedals, an automoatic transmission, a
motor less than 50 cubic centimeters that does not propel the bike faster than 30mph. A moped
should also be equipped with headlights with a capacity for 250 feet, a rear red reflector visible at
150 feet, a red light lamp visible at 250 feet at the rear, brakes, a horn, and a muffler.
"Motor-driven cycle" definition
This includes most mini-bikes and three wheelers. A motor-driven cycle is a vehicle that must have
a motor displacement less than 250 cubic centimeters.
Licensing Information
To operate a moped, an individual is required to have a standard operator's license, but is not
required to have a motorcylce license.
To operate a motor-driven cycle, there is no age limit, but operators older than 16 must possess a
valid drivers license.
Registration Information
Mopeds with motors less than 50ccs and have an automatic transmission are exempt from
registration fees. Mopeds with motors less than 50ccs which have a manual transmission have a
$3.00 registration fee with a $2.50 validation fee. Motorcycles less than 250ccs have the same
registration fees as mopeds with manual transmissions.
Moped Safety
Individuals are not required to wear helmet protection or eye protection while operating a moped.
It is illegal for a moped to carry more than one person unless it is properly equipped with a side
car or seat with feet supports. However, no one under the age of 16 can carry another person as a
passenger
Motor-Driven cycle Safety
Helmet and eye protection are required for their operation.
Operation in a State Park
For a motorcycle, moped, or minibike to be operated in a state park, they must be fully equipped
and "licensed" to be used. Since mini bikes are not licensable in the State of Arkansas and will not
be operated in state parks.
