Why, you buy a scooter or moped of course. Buying a moped scooter online can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be.
Let’s clear up a few terms first. Most people interchange the terms scooter and moped. Actually, a moped is a pedal and gas powered bike that is under 50 cc’s. What makes it a moped is the pedals. You can pedal start a moped or some of the newer mopeds also have electric starts. Mopeds use 2 stroke engines which means you mix the oil right in with the gas. Some states have a problem (California) with the 2 stroke engine. Some moped companies have started installing a “clean carb” that can pass California’s stringent clean air laws.
Most Scooter’s on the other hand, have a 4 stroke engine. They are either kick start, or electric start. A scooter is a bit larger than a moped and you will need a drivers license to drive it. Both scooters and mopeds have to be registered in the state that you are going to drive it.
