You should check the laws for electric bicycles for Arizona. The laws vary from state to state.

I have found this regarding the Arizona laws:
An "M-Class" license is required for any street-going vehicle with fewer than 4 wheels that does not have functioning pedals.
What I'm unsure is: how do I get a moped license? I have an European drivers license for ordinary cars, would that be deemed acceptable or will I need to conduct some exam?
Seems like a lot of hassle, essentially i would like to get one of the portable scooters so I can take them in a plane or a small car. The provisions are also very confusing as they mention 50cc as base of comparisons, rather than a specific horsepower.
