Yeah, you need a motorcycle license for anything over 50 in most states.

Depends where you're located, in the UK the term scooter refers to anything 50cc or smaller. I think in Connecticut anything over 150 needs to be registered as a motorcycle.

It's anything over 49cc in Connecticut:

I heard that they were enforcing the hell out of this during the whole pocket bike craze, too.

So when you see this http://www.gizmag.com/pictures/8239_25100724013_20.jpg 700cc scooter with a foot rest and automatic transmission would you think of it as being a scooter or a motorcycle.

Not with the USDOT defines a scooter or what your state government says, but what your definition says.

Only if it goes over 49cc or 50cc in most states.

Are you saying 50 mph or 50cc?

Looking at those Connecticut "helper motor" laws, I noticed that they don't have as many restrictions on electric motors. I'll bet that someone could build a "street legal/no registration" electric scooter that only has 2 HP and does 30 MPH out of the factory, but could be reprogrammed to do otherwise once you get it home... :evil:

This is what's wrong with the world today.

You don't even wish harm on others when you drive. When some fuctard cuts me off and almost causes me to crash, I wish a painful death on them.

Did he cut you off? No, so why wish him a painful death?
