50cc scooters have an engine size that classifies them as small motorcycles or mopeds at the limit between the vehicle category and moped classes. Regulations differ betweenmany countries of the world, when it comes to the right to drive 50cc scooters with or without a driving license and common laws are seldom achieved. For instance, in some EU countries you can ride such motorcycles without a driving license. The exceptions are France and Italy, where you need a car driving license to operate vehicles up to 125cc. There is quite a big level of legal ambiguity for the definition and classification of scooters.

Restrictions and licensing fees are a lot less for 50cc scooters and they are not legally defined as motorcycles. This definition is applied to vehicles above an engine capacity of 50cc. However, an in-between definition or class has been created by some jurisdictions. Therefore, between 50 and 150cc, vehicles are described as motorized bikes. In other parts of the world, 50cc scooters and above, are described as motorcycles.
