What's specs should I look for in a moped?

Um, I am gay. No worries there.

jstringham21 & monsoon That was funny as hell!

Sorry, I don’t have any advice on the moped! I just had to let you know that was great!

Also keep in mind that most mopeds are not rated to drive on the highway. You might need to consider “upgrading” to a motorcycle, though that would preclude the ferry situation.

Haha, homophobia, haha… ahh… funny stuff.

@shilolo, I wouldn’t be, I’d be commuting via ferry, and then only be on city streets.

Oh, ok. Just figured from Vallejo to the city would require some highway driving.

Yeah, no because I don’t want to actually drive to the city every day.

I mean I know people do it, but not me. Ick.

ummm, check out the google ads right here———>
lol, sorry don’t know much about mopeds, but can’t they charge on a normal outlet? I don’t see why they’d require a special connection, that would kind of the defeat the purpose of going gasless

AWKWARD!!!!!!!!

do you own a bicycle, look into getting a bike engine. They have electric and gas models available. Google it and investigate.

Ohhh, I want a Vespa scooter, they’re sooo cute!”
Oh, yeah frackin adorable. You know what else is adorable? Permanent disfigurement because of your cute little excuse for a vehicle.
Really, If you want something small and gas efficient that only has two wheels, GET A MOTORCYCLE.
“But motorcycles are so unsafe…”
I beg to differ my trendy friend.
They are in fact, much safer than your petite fashion-statement bike.
Think about it:
Vespas do not travel as fast at motorcycles. This does NOT make them safer. It makes it so you do not have the choice to speed up to avoid hazards.
Veapas are also less maneuverable than motorcycles, adding to the difficulty avoiding hazards.
Some jerk wad doesn’t see your tiny moped and starts to merge into you. You can’t speed up to avoid him, or maneuver out of the way, so where does that leave you?
Smeared across the pavement.
And your trendy little helmet won’t help because it just wouldn’t be cute to wear a full face helmet.
And your body will be mangled because what would be the point of riding a cute Vespa if you didn’t look cute riding it? Actual protective gear isn’t at all chic, that polo and sandals look so much cuter with the scooter’s paint job anyway.
Man up, get a motorcycle, and ride it safely with all the correct gear.

Sorry to rant, working part time with an EMT has shown me waaaay too many dead kids on mopeds. please, PLEASE avoid these death traps.

I’m not getting a moped because it’s trendy, read my post. I want something I can TAKE OF A PASSENGER FERRY WITH ME. It can’t have a gas tank.

Try not to be such a sarcastic jerk and maybe people will listen to what you have to say.

In no way am I being sarcastic. I’m sorry if you felt hurt by what I said, but know it was not just directed at you, I wrote that for anyone else considering a moped as well.

Nevertheless, I stand by what I say. They are dangerous and deadly. It’s ultimately your decision, but I strongly advise against it.
