go to pep boys and get yourself one of them electric scooter they also have gas one too. either that or just get a bike. that would be a good exercise peddling up hill :lolsign:

Where is the gas savings? $800 for the moped, $50 for tax, and $125 to title it/plates. $1,000 to drive 2 miles to work? Not to mention you will need insurance in case you get pulled over.

Just trying to help ya out by lookin at it a different way. Remember you can only ride it for 7-8 months at most and you have to get something street legal, or else you will get ticketed up the ass.

don't forget you need moped license and a helmet too. i think you must have a helmet to operate a moped.

And a moped license under 150 cc is a different license than Motorcycle which is 150cc and up...

Ride your bike, 2 miles is an easy ride, and its free!

Ditto.

I would also say, for a 2 mile ride get a cheap garage sale bike and get a little exercise. I wish I could ride my bike to work. Its only around 8 miles which isnt bad, but the roads I have to take I would probably get killed.

If I could only ride my bike 2 miles to work everyday....

22.5 miles each way on I294/55

No shit. I would kill for a 4 mile round trip to work. :lolsign: Mine more around 28 miles from Elk Grove to Vernon Hills.

Mines only about 3 miles to Jiffy Lube.

if i remember right, if a motorcycle/moped is under 150cc, you do NOT need a special license.


why is it that everybody wants to rain on this poor guy?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Just be pratical for 2 miles he is better off walking or riding a bike.

It is not economical to buy a vehicle to do it that requires insurance and maintenance.

Illinois.if you have a moped or as jesse calls it a "pedacycle" all you need is ANY class license to drive it.l,m,d,c,b,a,....take your pic...but it has to be a pedacycle...50cc or less,30 mph tops and 2 hp and single speed. It must meet all those requirements to be a moped...

Otherwise it is a motorcycle and you need a class L or M.

I have a Powell Peralta I can sell you!

You still need insurance and I'm pretty sure you need a M class license.

 

[justinad12]

the reason why i want a moped is that i have to change tires all day long 10 hrs a day. not just car tires , more often semi and tractor tires. i get tired and the last thing i need to do is walk or ride a bike to and from work every day. lifting 250 lb tire wheel combinations all day long tends to do a toll on your body ya know

My dads got a scooter he bought brand new a few years ago he mentioned something about selling. Im not sure how much he wants, Ill ask. You do need insurance but its not much at all. And no you DO NOT need a helmet or special license to operate it. At least not it Illinois. We obviously have one and have checked into it to make sure. As for the gas thing Im pretty sure my dad fills it like once and rides around town on it all sumer long.
