  1. Who's all got a moped?


    Taking mine in today for some work since I didn't ride it for a couple years. Looking forward to that 100mpg this summer!

    Got this one from a mechanic at a moped shop, it wasn't for sale cause it was his personal moped but he was nice enough to let me buy it from him. Searched for one forever and he just happened to have exactly what I wanted lol.

  2. I've got a 1998 Honda Elite SR. Metallic purple with white rims lol. Its been parked for probably over 5 years. The plan is to bore it out to 72cc some day. Said me, like 10 years ago.

    Not mine, but just like it.

    mopeds have a huge following as they use less gas then even scooters developed after WW2

  7. my buddy owned one, such a bad driver in cars, I had a bet he'd be dead by years end with a scooter I lost the bet
    that said I had to leave town once in Italy yeah it was the Italian hairdresser who saved the day
    in her hot scooter Italian made too

    but learning how much the moped takes on gas won the day maybe the month
    about a 120 miles per gallon ....lol
     
  8. Italy loves their scooters, that's where all the fancy parts I want come from.

    • Agree Agree x 1
  13. Yeah, I know, I meant, the others had no peddles. A moped has peddles or it's not a moped.

    Nope, they were named mopeds because when they first came out they had pedals.
     
  16. This is called a Go-Ped

    Oh, those get well over 150 miles per gallon, but the fuel tanks are usually just less than 1/3 of a gallon. The Go-Peds get much better MPG than the motorized bicycle/moped gets, my bike gets only about 85 MPG.

  19. It beats peddling up that long hill to get home, haha. I live in CA and the price of gas 87 octane unleaded is about $6/gal now.
