Was just through Elberton last fall on my motorcycle going to Calhoun Fall,SC. Havent reviewed Ga laws recently, but depending who you talk to vehicles under 50ccs are pretty much exempt, pedals or not. My daughter had a 50cc scooter similar to a Vespa. Our local tag office said it didnt need registration. The operator must have at least a learners permit, and head protection. A Schnell aproved helmet was not mentioned, so I guess a bike helmet would do. No insurance was required. Better check your local office, this may have changed as she had the scooter several years ago. My Whizzer is theoreticaly illegal, but I have never had an issue I am guessing because it looks like a moped for the most part.
