I like those little motorized mountain bikes I've seen a couple of times. Don't know the brand.

That needs a MC license. Only the Ruckus and Metropolitan are <50cc Hondas.

Having been around for decades, Puch is one of the most dependable built.

Are there ones that don't require a MC license?

That Honda Elite appears to be amazing. All of that with only 106cc's.

A "moped" is, by definition, a motorized bicycle - i.e., something that can be propelled by pedaling, as well as a motor.

Does anyone still sell one of these in the U.S.?

Under 50cc's.

The Puch!

You can't handle the Puch!

Puch are great little peds...motobycaines (sp) too.

If you have hills, you'll be a' peddlin' tho.

I think the little Puch I had was like 35 cc.

Men don't drive mopeds.

I see them down in the city and I just want to save some gas.

Of course.

Just be sure to get a new purse to match your helmet.

(a) What city would that be? Vatican?

(b) A 250cc conventional scooter gets over 100mpg, and can be had used for a couple hundred bucks. How economical do you want to be?

 

[Jarlaxle]

No...a 250 will get 65-80MPG. (My Helix got ~70.) A 50cc will get 100+, some 100-125-150's might.

SLC is moped and scooter heaven for all ages and stages.

Fun to watch.

I have a cheap chinese scooter right now...gave a couple hundred for it and ride it around town to run errands and such.

DO NOT buy a chinese scooter...they are disposable junkers that are next to impossible to get parts for.

Don't listen to him...

Whatever gets your knees in the breeze is awesome.

I've had mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes, cruisers, crotch rockets, atvs...they're all fun to ride.

We once converted a bicycle to power assisted motor-bike with a weed eater motor and roller wheel mounted above the rear tire.

Google it, works great on flat ground, pedal to help it up hill.

I use a small Honda Spacy.
Your helmet fits in a compartment under the seat and it runs forever on a tiny tank of gas.
Servicing is very cheap and very easy.

I have a car as family transport but I use the bike far more often as I see no point dragging a load of metal around when the bike is far faster in traffic and is easier to park.

I guess if one is insecure that could cause a problem for them. I wouldn't mind having a 350cc AJS or Velocette. If I decided that I needed something larger it either could be traded for a couple of rice rockets or a couple of HD's. I guess there are some that just require something large.
FYI a G.4 is a small British sports car with a 1500cc push rod engine and weight 1040 lbs. on a road course it will take most Porsche 6 cylinders and Trans-am cars.

Anything 50cc or less that does not go over 35/mph does not require license, insurance, title, tax, inspection, etc.

Plus they are light so you can throw them into a vehicle when necessary.
