Question by d_heavyus: In Sc is a moped considered a motor vehicle?
I’m trying to figure this out.

56-1-10 “Motor vehicle” means every vehicle which is self-propelled, and every vehicle which is propelled by electric power obtained from overhead trolley wires but not operated upon rails.

56-1-1710. Meaning of “moped”.

“moped” means a cycle with pedals to permit propulsion by human power or without pedals and with a motor of not more than fifty cubic centimeters which produces not to exceed two brake horsepower and which is not capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed in excess of thirty miles an hour on level ground. If an internal combustion engine is used, the moped must have a power drive system that functions directly or automatically without clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged.

Also I’m assuming that a golf cart is considered a motor vehicle as well?
