A reasonably fit bicyclist can do over 30mph on a smooth, level street (I've done it many times).
I don't understand why a 50cc motor scooter with better lights and brakes must be registered and insured to travel the streets at 30mph.
Texas does not require a motorcycle license for 50cc scooters. However, you must have passed the two day MSF course before getting a 50cc scooter endorsement on your drivers license. Tag and insurance also required on 50cc in TX (in my county).
In my opinion, the TX laws make riding a motorized bicycle a better deal than riding a 50cc scooter.
