Scooter or Moped...makes no difference. It can NOT legally be taken on an Interstate highway or other "limited access highway" with a speed limit greater than what the scooter/moped can do. Furthermore - it's quite possibly illegal for a child under 16 to ride one in your state and/or city. You need to check the DMV laws where you live. Personally, I think you just made a huge mistake, both financially & parentally. BTW...the speedometer may register up to 80mph. But no way will a 50cc scooter reach that speed. Can't be done. I OWN one exactly like linked below.

I started riding a scooter directly after my mother gave birth, 1 day old.

I'm pretty sure they need licenses, but I'm not completely sure. They have to be fourteen, though.

Hey bro!

Depends on the state. Call your DMV in the morning.
