50cc scooters have an engine capacity that classifies them as small motorcycles or mopeds at the limit between the vehicle category and moped classes. Regulations vary in many countries of the world, when it comes to the right to drive 50cc scooters with or without a driving license and common terms are seldom achieved. For example, in some EU countries you can ride such motorcycles without a driving license. The exceptions are France and Italy, where you must have a car driving license to ride vehicles up to 125cc. There is quite a big level of legal ambiguity for the definition and classification of scooters.
