Aloha

I am preparing to purchse a scooter that has a 49cc engine with a top speed of around 45miles per hour. The seller says a license is not required but I can't verify that. Any advice is appreciated.

According to County of Hawaii, you have to register it, but it's a permanent registration. Just don't tell them it can go faster than 30 MPH...

Here's everything you need to know about moped laws in HI:

I haven't posted enough to hyperlink that for you, so you'll have to cut and paste in your browser.

Note that you will still need a regular driver's license. When I lived on the BI, everyone I knew always said that you didn't need a license of any kind for mopeds. Apparently, you do.
