Choosing a Moped? Newbie Here....?

[Aaron Michael]

And I am having a tough time deciding which one would be best to invest in. [Back Story] See, my grandparents are pretty loaded when it comes to money, and well, my family took advantage of that..... My brother had busted one of my parents cars pretty substantially when learning to drive, and they offered (and did) to pay for the repairs. Needless to say, they told me that they would be willing to give me that same amount ($2,400), only instead to purchase a car. And so, I thought investing in a moped would be a good idea (commuting to work, maybe college soon).

I did some (be it great, that is not up to me to say) research and came up with a few results that peaked my interests. Thus my coming here; I would like the input from the real enthusiasts, the people who know what I obviously do not.

Here is what I found:

To be honest, the last one appeals to me the most (although the most expensive), most because of it's third wheel (I'm all about the safety).


I thank you, for all input!
I thank you for the input, but why reply at all if you have nothing to offer but pure criticism? I really did not see much outside of that; why not post some advice?

Oh well... thanks for the information you did provide...
Yes racefan, I do realize that what I posted are indeed not mopeds (my vocabulary is not that elementary); once the damage has been done (hit the submit button), there is no going back. (The fact that the site is called happyscooters should be the prime giveaway, go figure. =P)

Again, I thank you ~both~ for your input.
8675309; That's kind of funny, I actually did some more research after my ignorant post and found a few of those scooters (I have been looking at Piaggios for quite some time, particularly the MP3 400) and thought them to be quite a better deal considering they're well known brands.


Thank you for the input; and if I may ask for your email so as to ask questions at a further date?
