加州買輕型電動車前：先分清 moped 與 scooter 分類
商品被叫作「電動單車」或「小綿羊」，不一定代表法律上同一車種。加州 DMV 將摩托車、moped／motorized bicycle 及 motorized scooter 分開說明，購買前應拿實際規格核對分類，不只依賣場標題。
官方列 moped 駕駛者須至少十六歲，持 M1 或 M2 駕照並戴合規頭盔；車輛另有專用車牌和識別卡，收取一次性登記費，不像一般汽車每年續登記。這些規則不能自動套在所有市售電動自行車或踏板車上。
有站立踏板的 motorized scooter 是另一類別，頁面列其駕照與登記要求不同。不要把其中一句「不用登記」延伸成所有道路、年齡、頭盔或保險限制都不存在。向 DMV 確認車型及文件，並查所在地通行規則；此帖不驗證個別產品合法性，也不推薦以外觀判斷是否可以上路。

Before buying a light motorized vehicle in California, establish its category
A product advertised as an electric bicycle or small scooter does not necessarily belong to one legal vehicle category. California DMV distinguishes motorcycles, mopeds or motorized bicycles, and motorized scooters. Compare the actual specifications before purchase instead of relying only on the seller's label.
For a moped, DMV lists a minimum rider age of sixteen, an M1 or M2 license and a compliant helmet. The vehicle uses a special plate and identification card with a one-time registration charge, rather than ordinary annual automobile registration. Those requirements cannot automatically be transferred to every electric bicycle or scooter on sale.
A standing-platform motorized scooter is a separate category with different licensing and registration rules. A registration exemption is not an exemption from every road, age, helmet or insurance restriction. Ask DMV about the model and required documents, then check local operating rules. This guide verifies no particular product and does not establish road legality from appearance alone.
