    Here in the UK we used to have a lot of mopeds but these days not so much. When I was 16 it was 1986 and I had a yamaha fs1e, a legend of a bike with a big bore kit and a fresco exhaust and it would manage to get to 55mph which was really quick back then. I would love to get a moped now and I would love to see more people using them. Good to see you guys doing what you are.

    I had a mobylette Sports Speciale in the early 70s and my girlfriend and I went everywhere on it. Even journeys up tp 150 miles with two up. 4hp. My children can't believe we did that. I loved that time in my life.

    Here in Costa Rica are starting to become famous little by little. Recently i buy one to go to work. The models which came to my country are from China, the one i buy is brand Takana, have 107cc engine with a CVT transmission, It's basically a small displacement motorcycle. It's the best purchase I've ever made, so much fun to drive.

      here where i live i have a couple of mopeds.. they are small cheap and here you can drive them without a helmet its great fun and i only pay 50 euro a year for insurance. and i can drive one with a car licence so its win win win for me.

      the DWI machine trope is one too common misconception, the majority of US states require a license for motorized vehicle road use, be it a go-ped, golf cart, or mower. there's nothing wrong with a motorcycle, or a Prius either... for you.
      what you've done is asked a pumpkin chucking group, "why pumpkins?" or wing suit users, "why not use an airplane?"
      these are 40 plus year old machines (Rush's "red barchetta" comes to mind) that we enjoy restoring, modifying, and riding at mach .04
      simply, it's an avocation, not sole transportation for most of >us
