      Or even a good, fast and reliable scooter from the 90s or 2000s, they're very popular here in Italy in the 14 year olds' community and even older people, you can find very powerful and good looking ones for 600 Euros, or max 1k for even better options! You can search the same models as I'm sure you will find some in the UK.

    Hi Chris
    over here in holland as a 16 year old 50cc mopeds and scooters are the only options ( well theres also microcars and tractors available at that age but both are extremely expensive) you have. that being said my 50 cc tomos (slovanian brand) is very enjoyable to ride. I equipped it with an expansion exhaust ( it is an 2 stroke) which makes it nicely quick. I also think that our infrastructure is better suited for mopeds than in great britain ( yellow plate mopeds/scooters go on the carriage way except when there is a special road sign which means you got to go on the bycycle lane). it is also a bit of culture here to tune your mopeds/ scooters especially with 2 strokes.However if you get caught by police ( on a roller bench check placed on a parking lot you have to follow a police motor cycle to the check point) if the vehicle is capable of going 10 km/h faster than the liscense plate restricts they will suspend your liscense plate.

    Hi Chris, I'm 20 years old (21 in a month or two) and a university student. Have a full uk drivers license for over a year and not got a car. Wanted to grab a little 50cc as a run-around to help with student costs haha. Found quotes looking at around £300 a year on insurance which is fantastic. If I was to complete my CBT should I still go for a 50cc or should I just grab a 125 instead. In a bit of a pickle because of it haha.

    I found a Vespa Sprint 2T that's from 2015 and looks like new in the photos he sent me. Originally a 50 cc, it's been upgraded to a 70 cc engine. Is it worth $2400? Or should I buy a cheap bicycle or ciao Piaggio moped for now´, just to get around town this Summer and save up for a motorcycle license costing $3500, then invest in a real Vespa 300 cc or motorcycle instead? I'm wondering about the value for money and if the 70 cc upgrade offers significant advantages over the 50 cc. What are your thoughts on starting out with 70 cc?
    I'd appreciate your advice so I don't end up regretting a second-hand Vespa purchase online. Thanks for your insights!

      @@Ridingreviews lol didn't mean to sound negative... I was thinking of getting a 50cc just to travel to work etc & tried my friends & it was just way to slow even for London traffic. Really stuck on a 125cc to get. Really like the SYM fiddle 2023 model or the Zontes Ui I think its called.

      Why?. Isn't most of the city 20-30mph in terms of speed limits anyway.
