What exactly is the difference between a "motor-driven cycle" and a
motorcycle?  I know that a motor-driven cycle is less than 150cc, but
is there any other difference?  I live in California.  Is there any
difference in licensing, or insurance requirements, or things like
that for a motor-driven cycle, motorcycle, motorscooter, and etc?

In VA on 0701080, a motorcycle is a 2-wheeled vehicle that can exceed
35mph. A moped is a 2 wheeled vehicle that doesn't exceed 35mph. There
are other qualities as well, but it's the MPH that determines whether
or not you need a license. I'm surprised since it used to be 25mph and
under 50cc for a moped.

I guess they had enough of 49.5cc mopeds that could do 55mph Hmm, if I
keep my 1300 under 35mph, do I need a license? :)-
