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 §218.11; confirm the exact figure on your WisDOT application if your license class differs.

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

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Wisconsin moped dealer bond?The premium is $100 flat. The bond amount is fixed at $5,000, and $100 is the price our carrier’s rate book sets for every moped dealer.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. 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?A quick soft credit check may apply — it's never a hard inquiry and never touches your score. It informs approval, not price. The price is $100 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.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
