Langenbrunner15 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Alright,Who here has or has had a moped? Just wondering what the average price was for a used one. Mind you it's probably a 2001 maybe? I was thinking around $500 USD right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I lived in a big city, e.g. New York, Chicago, I would ditch my car for sure. With gas at 3 bucks and insurance costs high, it just makes sense. Even in say a small town, where I went to university, I couldn't count the number of people who rode mopeds to class. If we didn't get 45 feet of snow a year, I would have done the same.

zingbergeur 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 2 words: college campusI wish I would've invested in a moped my freshmen year at college. At a lot of big schools, freshmen aren't allowed to have cars. Also, finding parking is ridiculous and expensive. I can really only speak for Michigan State, but I saw a lot of people riding scooters around campus and East Lansing during my four years.I don't know if you're thinking ahead about college yet, but a moped would be a great investment, especially if you're going to a big school with terrible parking.

Langenbrunner15 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Yeah, I am not at college yet, only HS now.. Next summer, in the beginning of June, I will be getting a moped. I am getting a new one though, at only $1400 you can't go wrong plus it's great gas ilage, small, and can go everywhere in my town.

I am going to collage in LA next year and although I am allowed to have a car I think I am going to go with either a scooter or a actual bike for gas reasons. I am just wondering if you have any suggestions for either a good scooter that is highway legal that isn't to expensive or a good bike. Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustpot 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Go with a cheaper motorcycle. Get your license endorsement, get a good helmet, pay the cheapest insurance.A good but older bike can still be kept under a grand pretty easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least motorcycles can get up to speed.Ditch the scooter idea get a traditional bike. cheaper, better for the environment and not as dumb as a moped or scooter.

GoHawks 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 in IA you can get a moped license at 14, had one until i turned 16 (lived in a small town, could drive anywhere in town on it), and now I use my roommate's in college. Great to have on campus, parking's a bitch, and expensive. They're especially great if you're going to be living off of campus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
