Get a real bike. All the girls on campus used to ride around on mopeds with pink helmets on.

Mopeds and dope should never be used in a sentence together.

Don't listen to the haters. I have a moped and that shit is awesome. Super nice for getting around town on. It only costs like 3 bucks to fill up the tank too...cant beat it.

well a Ruckus is a scooter not a moped. But they are dope..but an actual classic moped where you have to pedal it for it to start would have much more shwag...like mine :D

my brother has a rucus and its sickkkkk.

i considered purchasing it from him late last summer until i did some research.

be sure to check insurance quotes first.
then consider licensing.
if you only have your m1 it is good for 3 months, you cant have ANY alchocol at all and operate it, and there is tons of restrictions on when you can use it. (atleast in ontario).

it very quickly turned from a reasonable means of transportation to a toy.

just do your research first. what you save on gas you could quickly spend on insurance.

I have a tomos streetmate r it is probably the best looking moped, you can also buy them online and have them shipped. if you get a upgraded exhaust and better gears it will easily get up to 50

In VT you need a motorcycle license to drive a scooter (last I checked), while you need NO license of ANY sort to drive a moped. You also don't need to register it or wear a helmet (although recommended)and you can ride it (without the motor running) on bike paths.

Pretty much the most versatile thing, hence moped>scooter in this state.

seriously. Motorcycles are so much better than mopeds and less of a danger to everyone around you.

also, theres a gang of 5 forty year old middle class dads who live down the street and they ride mopeds. they usually have a bbq or play poker or something, have a few beers, and then go ride around in leather jackets and do-rags for a while.

those guys are awesome.

Faster, has better handling, 4spd trans, and way better looking than a ruckus.  $2499.00 shipped.  I'll be picking one up shortly.

Yamaha makes a good scooter in their Zuma.  I have a TGB Key West and if I were to do it again I would buy a Yamaha.

You really just gotta keep your eyes peeled, look at vintage motorcycle sites stuff like that, salvage yards. Me and my dad restore motorcycles, and go to swap meets so that's really the easiest way to find stuff.

I believe you may be wrong, from what I have read, in VT they classify anything under 49cc as a moped, weather it's a scooter or not. Here are two sites I found this
