North America licensing
In Canada and the USA the Motor Vehicle Act qualifies two to three wheel vehicles that go no faster than 32 km/h, have a motor of maximum 500 W for Canada or 750 W for USA and are equipped with pedals as bicycles. No driver’s license or insurance is required. However, in some North America areas (Canada and USA alike) the operator must be at least 16 years of age. A regular driver’s license is required for all Motorino brand vehicles over 500 W for Canada and over 750 W for USA.
