1/25/2012 -- The City of Lee's Summit is currently reviewing the ordinances covering the licensing of motorized scooters and mopeds.  Under the current ordinance, owners of scooters and mopeds were required to license them as motorcycles with the State of Missouri. 

The State of Missouri will no longer license a moped or scooter as a motorcycle.  Therefore, it is not possible to comply with City Ordinance.  The ordinance is currently under review and when the new ordinance is made official, a new procedure will be posted here on our web page.
