I have a motorcycle license. I ride motorcycles. I have a brand new 2018 model of this same moped. They're fun to ride. Keep aware of your surroundings. In Nevada you need a plain old drivers license. Mopeds can only go 30 mph.( but they can be rigged to go faster, just don't get caught.) Can't be more than 2 HP. No insurance needed.
Come to sweden I beg you lol. You can get a licence for this at 15. Its a fucking cult here. I pulled a identical one to this from my garage yesterday that my dad commuted to work with in our old town, and ima use it to buzz around and be free with it
Great video bud, I'm getting my moped this week driving it only to and from work and maybe close places by. This video was very helpful and informative on driving tips,techniques and opinions keep them coming!
Julian Moped not reliable to go to work. It can break down randomly or start going slow and you'll be late or miss a day. Unless you have a Honda or Yamaha brand scooter, don't use moped for work.
Faith Middleton If you want to use moped for work have 2 of them and carry a bunch of stuff for repairs. If this particular model (or brand?) is as reliable as you say then it's just an exception. I've owned 2 mopeds so far and had plenty of things go wrong in the year I've owned them. Not always enough to stop me but enough to make me late if I were traveling to work. I was going to a job interview recently and the belt went out on me. I didn't get the job. Managers want workers with reliable transportation and have little or no tolerance for missed days or being late. The weird thing is the belt didn't even have that much mileage. I also randomly got a flat tire one time and what saved me was green slime.
***** if you properly take care of it, it can last for along time. I have 30k miles and still runs fine. also bored out and a lot of proformance parts. make sure you maintain the small motors more than a big motor
System6 Rail Videography yessir fairfax county right here except I’m getting an electric dirt bike, making it street legal and registering it as a moped so I don’t need a license
Scooter's and mopeds are really fun and much cheaper that cars. One payment and its yours ( you own it) maintenance is easy and insurance is far more practical in pricing than even the cheapest vihickle. I've owned 2 different types both the 150cc and the 250cc. Absolutely great for transportation...
I didn't know it was so hard out there for scooters & mopeds. No respect? I respect them. I think they're nice and charming. They make me think of France. I'm personally not starting on one, because a like sport bikes, and power, and I need the speed & power for highways, and losing threats, or darting from bad situations. Sometimes, to avoid an accident, slowing down is the wrong answer, but only if you have the power & agility, if not, you really need to have the best decisions, and do the best actions, with what you have. Anyway, I would wave to any scooter or moped, as I would any other motorbike....unless I know they're an asshole, or evil.
Your profile pic is a RuneScape E. Nice. Thanks for the tips! I just got my 50cc scooter and it's just like yours! Gonna practice in a parking lot soon!
it's not like riding a bike, I rode a Schwinn road bike for years, in all kinds of traffic, until some idiot went left of center, hit me head on, and broke my back, that's what you get for trying to be healthy!! a scooter, especially one with accessories, is a lot heavier, usually over 200 pounds, so there is a lot of gyroscopic effect, you don't have on a bike. Some of these 50cc bikes can hit 50-60 MPH depending on if the bike is restricted. It's not a toy, wear a good helmet, gloves, boots, heavy jacket, road rash is road rash, it doesn't matter if on a scooter or a harley, even 30 mph, wearing shorts and flip flops, will ruin your day if you wreck.
Just watching these for fun :D I've been on the road for 2 years riding a geared 125 on a CBT in the UK which expires every 2 years and i'm doing it again tomorrow but before my first one i watched these type of videos so i thought i would bring back some memories :D
@@wolfymudkips4266 2 years late but it’s a lot of fun, I quit riding at the end of my third CBT as I lost my love for bikes but I just recently got that love back again and bought a project so I can sort that and get on the road again

I just got a moped for Christmas. Three days ago I got my permit and made it street legal. This had been helpful. I've practiced in my yard on sharp turns and deep turns. But could only go 10/15 on my land. Looking forward to the open world. Tomorrow will be the big day, as I'm going to the doctors. Thanks for this videos really has been helpful.
@@svinnys5467 it was actually really fun. The joy of the rushing wind. The small amount of power it gave you on the road. I caution anyone to be careful around patches of dirt. That got me a few times even in a slow turn. And I can't stress this enough. Be on top of your oil. It burns it up fast in my experience. However, I did ride it all over town everyday. But, I highly recommend a moped to any new bikers.
Finally, a Virginia native that knows their stuff. Thank you sir, I needed this as I am looking into getting one of these. Now, I am a bit confused about VA DMV. Does my speedometer have to stop at max 35mph or can go faster, but I must ride at 35mph? Yours can go as high as 50mph, but say without a license, would someone with the same speedometer can only ride at 35mph or have to have speedometer showing just max of 35mph?
Great video, Very glad to see it. I learned how to ride mopeds(I like to call them scooters) 10 years ago. I strongly recommend a lot of practice, before you go out on the road. A parking lot is a good start. Don't push yourself beyond your comfort level. You will learn how to ride it, and have fun on it. You need to be aware of "counter steering." The bike will handle differently when you get up to a speed of maybe 20mph, your scoot will begin to handle like a motorcycle. There are great vid's on youtube about countersteering and stopping. I almost fell on my 2 bikes the first day I got them. Please practice. Laws very by state. Some don't require a license .Cheers.
Remember your helmet. Mine just saved my wretched life after a concealed pothole swallowed my front wheel and over the handlebars I went. Fractured neck vertebra, cracked collarbone and still lots of pain, but I am alive. My helmet is not. This was a motorized bike, licensed and ridden as a moped, and I wasn't moving more than 20 mph. Helmet. Really.
in Missouri all you need is a car driver license no flag no helmet no insurance no registration as long as it's under 50cc in Missouri they are concerned A motorized bicycle
"You don't need a license" In finland, you need to be 15 years old, do 6 hours of theory and 3 hours of driving practice😂and a theory exam and a handling exam
Ok..in Latvia,you just need to pass theory(20 questions,2 false answers allowed)and driving.But i was lucky because i passed before the season closing and from this years season opening(April)all the pretendents will need to pass driving in traffic too :D which can be a little bit harder and more expensive
I have this exact moped model and color! I drove it for the first time today around my apartment complex! The problems I'm having is breaking or slowing down correctly to stop or turn. I'm a little fidgety with that. What I did was gradually push up on the accelerating handle to slow down but it seems to slow down a little to fast and that's why the turns end up stopping and I have to give it a little more gas to finish the turn lol. And that's not good when I'm driving on the road with other cars. So I saw that you gradually pulled the breaks to stop and to turn? and it was both breaks? cause I had no idea until after watching this video that the right brake was the front brake and that the left break was the rear brakes. And also can mopeds do a u-turn and full cirlce turns? I found it hard to do that i ended up having to manually move the bike in the direction I wanted it lol. I have no one who rides mopeds to properly teach me. So I have to learn it myself. Or I can probably ask the guy at the motorbike place if he can volunteer if I pay him lol. But hopefully this video will solve my problem.
Use front brakes on tarmac :) and rear brakes in more dangerous surface(gravel for example),because if you will break too hard with front brakes in gravel,your front tire is gonna lose traction(i've experienced it).
I’m English so this terminology could confuse you but, I will be going into college soon and I was wondering if a moped would be a good way to get to a college about 15-20 minutes away from my house
In Arkansas, you need a drivers license (no motorcycle endorsement required) if you are 16 or older, or you can obtain a motorized bicycle license if you are 14-16. No helmet is required but you must have eye protection.
Only looking at this because it’s like 7 miles to my new job which I don’t fancy walking or cycling, I’d be sweating my tits off if I cycled that to work.
Good job man explained well I would have explained it very similar I've only ridden one 3 times but I'm pretty good it kinda came as 2nd nature and no one thought me any thing was scared a tad at first but now thinking of buying my self a moped as well now
some states are really restrictive on the top speed, they come from the factory with restrictors, if you are in a state that doesn't pay much attention, there are excellent videos on how to remove the restrictors , it's pretty easy and makes a huge difference, 50 cc engines can generate a decent amount of horsepower depending on compression etc. Plus the carburetor models have all kinds of tricks
so this is for people that have never ridden a motorised anything except for a car. You did good for explaining all the safetyprecautions, I am only 13 and I know all these things... I found one of the scooters online for only $500! So I had to look this up to see if it was real and there are lots of videos! i thought this scooter was going to be a cheap price of junk but it actually turned out to be pretty cool. I have one question tho I ame a motorcycle guy so I was wondering if that little 50 cc engine is enough power to get you up a hill because I'm used to like 250 to 400cc engines.
I drive a honda cf50 chaly '81 (greece) REALLY HARD bike to drive took a while to learn how to clutch kick and not wheelie but is a good and reliable bike once you get the hang of it (converted from 50cc to 75cc)
Something none of these videos go over is what the start position for your hand on the throttle is. That's one of the things I need to know. After driving a car for years my foot knows where to be before I push the accelerator. I have no idea how my hand should be placed before I begin to turn the throttle.
thanks for your wonderful teaching to ride scooter . I am from India in Kerala but settled in Oman .we love scooters I and my brother will be getting a scooter that is like the size of moped . I will let from your video.we are not girls we are boys
you do need a regular D driver's license in various states. I'm Az I have to have it. Also I took my tank classic moped 49cc on an 11 hour ride gas is still in the tank. I went through mountains today and just got back. make sure you always Chuck oil and gas and your lights and turn light signals.
HI MATE YOUR MOPED IS SAME MINE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ROLLER WEIGHTS I NEED FOR 49CC DIRECT BIKES MOPED TO GET UP BANKS AND HILLS QUICKER THANK YOU PLEASE KEEP POSTING YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU
In New York a 50CC is the only one that you don't need Motorcycle License for. However you need to be 16 with a drivers License, Registered with the DMV ( you get a plate with the reg) and Insurance.
nice review glad you preach safety that's great buy I would like to say a few things about 50cc scooters no one has to agree with me all I ask if I can just think for a minute did what I say just make any sense that's all here goes I grew up with mopeds and yes these 49cc too but that was moons ago for young people but it was different then when they came in less cars on the roadways people did not drive as fast and drivers are texting and drivers have no patients and in a hurry all the time that's where we are today that does not work well with a slow 49cc scooter that at a stop light can not start up with traffic you know that so what happens you go to the side of the road to ride now you are riding in ROAD SHIT road shit is all that stuff that goes to the side of the road like those drunks that through there beer bottles out the window why do they do that so scooters and bikes can ride in it and get a flat cars do not it is on the side of the road now as they pass you they sware at you they through things at you the give you the finger nice and if you ride a 49cc all I have said you have experienced next today drivers text this is real dangerous for 49cc scooters because just a little to the right and BAMM there mirror gets you one hit me my full face helmet saved me who wears those on a 49cc scooter you nutty people wear bicycle helmets that are not made for 30mph just nuts I was there but I smarted up I did one thing to stop all of the above I got a 150cc scooter no more problems I am in traffic safe drivers love me yes times have changed if you are to cheap to buy one or too lazy to get a M license do not do it I am having a fun safe blast times have change you are an idiot to buy a 49cc scooter buy smart ride safe and if you continue to ride a 49cc scooter I hope they do not through a banana at you or egg
I just bought an x-pro Maui 50cc today. 4 to and from work and errands around town within the city limits. Top speed roads about 40 miles an hour around here. The one thing I'm wondering is if it will really go 35 miles an hour or if it's going to be 25 I have an e scooter a monthly subscription for that I'm going to send back once I get it that goes up to 28. So we'll see
So if I get a 150cc, do need a license to operate on the main road or no,I have a regular one just incase. I saw a bike for sale for 450.00,literally brand new,only 58 miles on it,your video has been most helpful, I'm a first time rider an buyer.
I'm from Florida and for whatever reason when I've driven in other states I've noticed I'm a much more aggressive driver than other people. However when I'm back home in South Florida everyone drives like I do. I guess aggression is Florida Trait

Use front brakes on tarmac :) and rear brakes in more dangerous surface(gravel for example),because if you will break too hard with front brakes in gravel,your front tire is gonna lose traction(i've experienced it).
I'm buying this exact model brand new in a few days and I live in Virginia! Will be my first vehicle ever I'm so excited
Did u get it yet and how is it
I’m English so this terminology could confuse you but, I will be going into college soon and I was wondering if a moped would be a good way to get to a college about 15-20 minutes away from my house
That’s epic bro and it looks really nice 👍🏼
Your motor is eitheer idling too high or you're riding the brakes when you accelerate.
VelociPat that’s how they sound when you pick up speed from a stop
Nope ur wrong every moped sounds like that at least with a 50 cc
And u can tell me different cause I used a moped when I was 15 to 16 she still runs like a champ even if I don’t use her
In Arkansas, you need a drivers license (no motorcycle endorsement required) if you are 16 or older, or you can obtain a motorized bicycle license if you are 14-16. No helmet is required but you must have eye protection.
Are you sure about license needed in Arkansas for a 49cc scooter?
Need to get one of these uber is burning my wallet
my dad got me one. he used to be a moto cop and was teaching me all these crazy techniques
Really Awesome Video... Here we need license to ride a Moped.
Greetings from India.

@@JormaE lol

Thanks for the video, getting a moped soon!
What r the requirement to drive 50cc scooter in Colorado
Nice video, I'm thinking of buying one of these soon.
Shit with the prices of gas I'm thinking of selling my car and buying a scooter that can handle the highway
The Reaper I’m on a 50cc now and I was thinking of a modding a ruckus when I’m ready for the highway.
@@MJBjj870 50cc too slow for highway speeds, need at least 200cc
FlameHazeist yeah for sure. I’d recommend higher honestly
FlameHazeist At least 500cc for highway it needs to get up to 100mph easily
@@jacobt1027 Not on the highways in North America ;)
I bought my first moped today; this video was so helpful! Thank you so much!
9 years later hows it going
@@anonymousgaming. I rode it for a while until I was old enough to get a car. Been driving ever since. No accidents at all on the moped or the car!
Oh for crying out loud it's just like going on a regular bike but easier
most of the people here are probably new into two wheeled vehicles if they are thinking about purchasing or interested in mopeds
+Assasinpiggles So they have never ridden a bicycle? That has wheels
And you’re point ?
Only looking at this because it’s like 7 miles to my new job which I don’t fancy walking or cycling, I’d be sweating my tits off if I cycled that to work.
The only similarity between a moped/scooter and a bike is that they both have 2 wheels.
Great video
I live in the Netherlands and planning to buy one for myself
You should. They are really fun.
I'm buying my tao tao mc-t04 50cc at powersportsmax for $468 free shipping and comes with a whole bunch of other stuff free
+Justin Galligan where are u getting that deal?
I just bought that bike from that site. The shipping is $200, I paid $668.

Very good video man, thank for the upload
Where did you buy it for 550$?
AbdulProductionz try Craigslist or offerup you can find one for even cheaper on there
AbdulProductionz Go to eBay 🤫
Good Tutorial and even better advice👍🏻
would it be possible to drive one of these far distances?
just take brakes
sure, i have a truck,but they are a blast to ride, get a decent one, and get the helmet trunk for the back
Get a water cooled one and your be okay
50cc,is slow uphill , very easy to ride ,but you must stay away from fast traffic.i,am always out on mine.😮
Possible? Yes.
Comfortable? No.
Don't know why, but I've watches this video about 4 time.
I rid a moped once
*Im 11*
Wow what a U N I T
I've drove my mom's car in a alley once.
*I'm 12*

@@haidershuja heh im 13 and i drove a full manual on an abandoned airport
Wow you kids are so cool but that’s nothing I’m 8 and I drove my grandmas furburger
Good job man explained well I would have explained it very similar I've only ridden one 3 times but I'm pretty good it kinda came as 2nd nature and no one thought me any thing was scared a tad at first but now thinking of buying my self a moped as well now
you sound like Wes from how to get away with murder
I want to buy 1. Thanks for posting this.
what is the top speed? if it is 30 i will be happy :)
Ok.
Lucas K it is
some states are really restrictive on the top speed, they come from the factory with restrictors, if you are in a state that doesn't pay much attention, there are excellent videos on how to remove the restrictors , it's pretty easy and makes a huge difference, 50 cc engines can generate a decent amount of horsepower depending on compression etc. Plus the carburetor models have all kinds of tricks
60mph is common
Im from virginia too, im just watching this because i want to be prepared.
I ride gsx1000r and I'm just looking at this like pathetic
Woah my dude, save some pussy for the rest of us, Jesus Christ
Great tips. Thank you. I'm considering getting one.
so this is for people that have never ridden a motorised anything except for a car. You did good for explaining all the safetyprecautions, I am only 13 and I know all these things... I found one of the scooters online for only $500! So I had to look this up to see if it was real and there are lots of videos! i thought this scooter was going to be a cheap price of junk but it actually turned out to be pretty cool. I have one question tho I ame a motorcycle guy so I was wondering if that little 50 cc engine is enough power to get you up a hill because I'm used to like 250 to 400cc engines.
thank you for the video, correction - in some states US, you do have to have a liscence for ANY motorized vehicle on a public road.
It's not classified as a motorized vehicle. They usually fall under the same laws as motorized bicycles instead.
I drive a honda cf50 chaly '81 (greece) REALLY HARD bike to drive took a while to learn how to clutch kick and not wheelie but is a good and reliable bike once you get the hang of it (converted from 50cc to 75cc)
Great comments during the vid. Drive safe!
i like your video, good complete information. Thanks!
Something none of these videos go over is what the start position for your hand on the throttle is. That's one of the things I need to know. After driving a car for years my foot knows where to be before I push the accelerator. I have no idea how my hand should be placed before I begin to turn the throttle.
thanks for your wonderful teaching to ride scooter . I am from India in Kerala but settled in Oman .we love scooters I and my brother will be getting a scooter that is like the size of moped . I will let from your video.we are not girls we are boys
you do need a regular D driver's license in various states. I'm Az I have to have it. Also I took my tank classic moped 49cc on an 11 hour ride gas is still in the tank. I went through mountains today and just got back. make sure you always Chuck oil and gas and your lights and turn light signals.
People keep calling moped to a scooter, and here in California there’s a big difference between these two
HI MATE YOUR MOPED IS SAME MINE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ROLLER WEIGHTS I NEED FOR 49CC DIRECT BIKES MOPED TO GET UP BANKS AND HILLS QUICKER THANK YOU PLEASE KEEP POSTING YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU
In New York a 50CC is the only one that you don't need Motorcycle License for. However you need to be 16 with a drivers License, Registered with the DMV ( you get a plate with the reg) and Insurance.
of course a DOT helmet
Great video! Am thinking about a moped. But, with so many distracted car drivers out there, seems very risky.
you should go for it.There are pretty fun. A new experience. 😎
nice review glad you preach safety that's great buy I would like to say a few things about 50cc scooters no one has to agree with me all I ask if I can just think for a minute did what I say just make any sense that's all here goes I grew up with mopeds and yes these 49cc too but that was moons ago for young people but it was different then when they came in less cars on the roadways people did not drive as fast and drivers are texting and drivers have no patients and in a hurry all the time that's where we are today that does not work well with a slow 49cc scooter that at a stop light can not start up with traffic you know that so what happens you go to the side of the road to ride now you are riding in ROAD SHIT road shit is all that stuff that goes to the side of the road like those drunks that through there beer bottles out the window why do they do that so scooters and bikes can ride in it and get a flat cars do not it is on the side of the road now as they pass you they sware at you they through things at you the give you the finger nice and if you ride a 49cc all I have said you have experienced next today drivers text this is real dangerous for 49cc scooters because just a little to the right and BAMM there mirror gets you one hit me my full face helmet saved me who wears those on a 49cc scooter you nutty people wear bicycle helmets that are not made for 30mph just nuts I was there but I smarted up I did one thing to stop all of the above I got a 150cc scooter no more problems I am in traffic safe drivers love me yes times have changed if you are to cheap to buy one or too lazy to get a M license do not do it I am having a fun safe blast times have change you are an idiot to buy a 49cc scooter buy smart ride safe and if you continue to ride a 49cc scooter I hope they do not through a banana at you or egg
Im 15 and im getting one im so excited
I just bought an x-pro Maui 50cc today. 4 to and from work and errands around town within the city limits. Top speed roads about 40 miles an hour around here. The one thing I'm wondering is if it will really go 35 miles an hour or if it's going to be 25 I have an e scooter a monthly subscription for that I'm going to send back once I get it that goes up to 28. So we'll see
This was extremely useful! Now I just have to research my State Laws.
So if I get a 150cc, do need a license to operate on the main road or no,I have a regular one just incase. I saw a bike for sale for 450.00,literally brand new,only 58 miles on it,your video has been most helpful, I'm a first time rider an buyer.
Me: watches even tho i already have one and am very familliar with driving it
I own a car but im studying full time now and man petrol
is a struggle now i gotta get one of these.
I knew the target on your back thing but completely forgot a obout manhole covers. Thanks.
If you own a moped and you're a petrol head and you know alot about cars/motorsport you have nothing to loose. I drive myself
I'm from Florida and for whatever reason when I've driven in other states I've noticed I'm a much more aggressive driver than other people. However when I'm back home in South Florida everyone drives like I do. I guess aggression is Florida Trait
I recomend a moped with gears and clutch, you learn more by that and you can tune it more, better and easier then a scooter
so...a motorcycle?
no its not a motorcycle its basically an engine with a gear box and 2 wheels just look up "Yamaha DT 50" . ik im a bit 2 late but what ever
Awesome Video!!
you are right.I know in Kansas.you are required a tag and a license to operate one of these
Gets u there on tiim…I mean it will get u there..it might a little slow..🤗
I live on an island with tons of steep hills and sharp turns. Could you please do a video on how to drive in that kind of environment?
Apparently you can get a moped license which is an alternative to getting a driver's license. You just take the written test and you get it
