Where you can legally ride
Go karts, mini bikes and dirt bikes are off-road machines and are not street legal in most states. Street legal scooters and motorcycles are titled and need registration, insurance and a licence or endorsement depending on displacement.
Before you ride
Check your state and city rules on OHV registration, trail permits and minimum rider age. This is general information, not legal advice — your DMV site is the authority.
