This statement is incorrect in relation to moped (scooter) ownership and operation: "An owner must have a license, tags, insurance, inspection, and helmet." A simple 30 second search on the NC DOT DMV website says: " You must be age 16 or older to operate a moped on North Carolina highways or public vehicular areas. A driver license is not required, and the moped does not have to be registered, inspected or covered by liability insurance. A motorcycle safety helmet is required by law when operating a moped on North Carolina highways. A moped cannot have a motor of more than 50 cubic centimeters, an external shifting device or have the capability of exceeding 30 miles per hour on a level surface." Link
