(WANE) Fort Wayne Police are cracking down on people who ride scooters.
'We're trying to educate the publice about operation, registaration and licensing of mopeds versus scooters,' explained Police Chief Rusty York on Wednesday.
Despite many using the words interchangeably, mopeds and scooters are not the same thing, and do not have the same set of laws applied to them.
A moped is classified by three requirements: it has a 50 cc engine or less, an automatic transmission, and it can't go over 25 miles per hour. Meanwhile a scooter can meet the first two requirements of a moped, but still be classified as a scooter if it is designed to go over 25 miles per hour.
Scooters, unlike mopeds, need to be titled and registered as a motorcycle
