'Moped' license plate covers the scooters under 50cc engines, speed restriction in Wi is 30 mph. Some scooters have a electronic control box governor that restricts the top speed for sales in the US market, if the control box is unplugged and a jumper wire inserted in wire loom the engine can run faster and scooter reverts to about 45 mph top speed as scooter was designed for in other markets. Owners decision to tell state DOT that he now has a 'motorcycle' requiring a drivers license endorsed for motorcycle instead of 'Moped' that a regular drivers license is valid for, but remember that Wi DOT has a minor(!) computer system problem so you probably shouldn't bother them :). Some Honda Ruckus trail styled scooters don't have restriction but still get the 'moped' plates, wire loom diagrams similar to restricted scooters except for lack of restrictors. Other restriction methods involve a washer in the exhaust pipe, washer has been known to break off from spot weld in pipe when people clean pipe, some just fall off during cleaning(a tap with punch seems to part of cleaning drill for some people;). Does the owners manual have any indications about restriction devices on your model? Not that I am suggesting you remove any restrictions, but you should check all equipment on new vehicle just so you're familiar with what the pieces do and what happens if a small piece may break or get lost during normal maintenance. I have a Yamaha CA50 I got running for a lady in church, they have a restrictor plate in belt drive transmission pulley area- maybe I'll examine it later, hope I don't drop the restrictor plate and lose it, ladies kids might borrow mamas scooter to get around and exceed moped allowable speed, mama might have to get tested for motorcycle drivers license endorsement.
