Why You Do Need A Valid Drivers License or Leaners Permit to Operate a scooter in Massachusetts?
Because the Mass. laws consider a scooter to be a motorcycle. Here is the definition.





"Motorcycle'', any motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, including any bicycle with a motor or driving wheel attached, except a tractor or a motor vehicle designed for the carrying of golf clubs and not more than four persons, an industrial three-wheel truck, a motor vehicle on which the operator and passenger ride within an enclosed cab, or a motorized bicycle.

But if you are talking about a go-ped or gas powered Razor, they aren't allowed on the street, so you can use those on private property.
