Scooter / Moped Bill of Sale Template
A scooter or moped bill of sale covers gas scooters, mopeds and street-legal electric scooters. Whether it needs a title and registration depends on the engine size and the state: most states draw the line around 50cc. Either way the buyer wants a signed bill of sale with the VIN. Pick your state and the form adapts to its rules.

Why a scooter bill of sale matters
- Scooters over the state's cc limit are titled and registered like motorcycles.
- Small mopeds are often unregistered, which makes this the ownership record.
- Records the odometer reading on scooters that have one.
- Proves the sale date if a ticket or tow shows up later.
Before you sign
- The VIN is on the frame near the steering column or under the floorboard.
- State the engine size clearly; it decides whether a title is required.
- Include the odometer reading if the scooter has one.
- Hand over the title if there is one; otherwise the MCO or old registration.

Common questions
Does a 50cc scooter need a title?+
In many states, no: mopeds under 50cc (or under 30 mph) are registered lightly or not at all. Over 50cc it is usually a motorcycle for titling purposes. Your state page links the agency.
Do electric scooters need a bill of sale?+
Not legally, but a signed one is still the best proof of ownership and purchase price for a $1,000 to $3,000 item.
