by DMV, what would be considered a moped, and what would be considered a scooter?

I went to your website and said this: "In Louisiana, motorized bicycle or moped pedal bike with an engine rated not more than 1.5 brake power cylinder capacity of more than 50 cubic centimeters, and automatic transmission, which produces no more than 25 mph on a flat surface. "It means that the bicycle must have pedals? There are bikes, which are called mopeds, which can go up to 90 mph, means that by law are not mopeds. Also, there are bikes called scooters. Looks and runs like wheels, which are called mopeds, but have a different name. these scooters are mopeds. Or are they really as motorcycles go faster than 25 mph

Sounds like a Louisiana and New Jersey, using the same definition - the moped must have a bike pedals. Scooters 50cc, without even the pedals get a moped license, so maybe confirmation of a motorcycle driving license. The law you quoted in Louisiana, it is quite clear-you will need pedals to be classified as a moped or motorized bicycle and 25 mph maximum speed is limited under 50cc engine, less than 1.5 kW, no shift transmission. Higher speed 'Mopeds' can exist and be classified as a moped under the various Acts-90 mph is a bit much - give specific example of how old-Puch Maxi with 70 or 90 cc engine and pedals, the centrifugal clutch, that in some countries to 50 mph. Indian clone of the Hero Puch you can do with a little improvement - but not legal in Louisiana as a moped, it can get even a motorcycle classification.
