About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Wisconsin regulates moped dealers as part of its motor vehicle dealer framework in Chapter 218, administered by WisDOT. The dealer bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind clear title on the mopeds you sell and your compliance with Wisconsin dealer law.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin together with harmed buyers. If a dealer fails to deliver clear title, misapplies a customer’s money, or otherwise violates dealer law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

The moped dealer bond is $5,000 — a smaller figure than the $25,000 wholesaler or salvage dealer bonds. The bond financial-qualification rules sit in s. 218.11; confirm the exact figure on your WisDOT application if your license class differs.

Wis. Stat. ch. 218 (s. 218.11)Wisconsin moped dealers are licensed by WisDOT under Chapter 218, with dealer financial-qualification and bond provisions in s. 218.11. A $5,000 dealer bond is the figure commonly required for moped and motorcycle dealers; confirm the amount on your WisDOT application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Wisconsin moped dealer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is fixed at $5,000, and 3% of that ($150) falls below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 flat for every moped dealer.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state and harmed buyers — it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
WisDOT requires it as a condition of a moped dealer license under Chapter 218. No active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The price is $275 either way.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your dealer license to stay valid.
