MOPED REGISTRATION
Make sure you get your Moped registered
The new registration requirement. S.L. 2014-114 enacted G.S. 20-53.4, effective July 1, 2015, which requires that mopeds be registered before being driven on streets or highways in the state.
To be registered, the moped must have a manufacturer’s certificate of origin and must be designed and manufactured for use on highways or public vehicular areas.
The fee for registering a moped is the same as that for registering a motorcycle–$18.00
No one was allowed to pre-register any moped they own before July 1st.
Many moped owners will end up having to apply for titles and that process takes time.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office will follow the North Carolina Highway Patrol and only issue warning tickets until September 1, 2015.
We encourage any owners of a moped to start the process of getting the moped registered as soon as possible.
