I write for a 50cc mopeds site in the UK and I love these babies. I would so like to ride a moped over where you are – it rains so much here!

Regards

As someone wrote above, mopeds are TERRIBLE for the environment I ride a bicycle and whenever a moped passes me its hard to breathe from all the crap they spew. If I see these machines unguarded they may end up with a chiseled head…. destroying these machines is win-win for everyone in the long run. Kill your f%$^&ing moped and be responsible. Don’t spew crap into the air and think its ok! Its not!

I rode a motorized bicycle throughout college, and it was by far the best way to get to campus, for all the reasons you mentioned above.

Do you store your bike in your RV? If so, does it make the place smell like gas?

This is awesome. I’ve been driving around on a scooter in India and I’ve been considering getting one if I end up settling somewhere for more than a few months. You make a great case for the moped instead of scooter.

Just wondering how loud these things are? Could you hold a conversation next to one or is the engine quite deafening?

@shane
You can only go 20mph max on nice road bike unless you lance armstrong or something. And you sweat a lot, which can make going to a lot of places not practical. You can go city car speeds with a moped which makes a big difference.

Electric bikes have limited range unfortunately.

ebikes are the new way to go. No license or insurance required because they are in the same category as a bicycle. Milage and speed is limited, but they are better on the environment than motorized vehicles and a ton of fun to drive. Big cities would be better places if everyone drove an ebike.

awesome post at the perfect time. I am hopefully picking up a moped tomorrow. Tomos Targa LX. Also, while they were more popular years ago in America they continue to be heavily used around the world and you can find new ones if you want to, they can run from about $1200 to well over $2000.

Buying used seems to be a better option.
