I have one, I ride it all over... Right now it has no throttle so I have to bend down to move but I just made a pedal for it.. I goes around 30MPH full throttle and around 20MPH up a steep hill.. I dont have to pay to drive mine on the street just a little ride to friends house.
I also have a blue one that is 49CC. It's more of the olders ones and is a little slower. The red one in the pictures is a 33cc and runs great.. Love it.
I dont own the expsensive ones.. I just own the ones that have the quarter thank one.. I get good milage to.. I can go 8miles on a quarter so... 24MPG.
I have a midi-moto. Dont get confused with a MINI-moto. Midi-moto's are bigger than a mini, but smaller than an actual bike. Insanely fast for what they are, had mine up to 45mph. It even has a "turbo" I bought from ebay. Which is actually just an electric fan to act as a forced air intake, lol.
Yeh this is a scooter moped, DON'T HATE . Cost's originally 2000£ (Norway) but I got it for 1200£ 2010 model completely new (When I bought it in Dec 2009 from the Dealer)
I must however warn you that the images below is rather big so be prepared
These were taken 20 minutes ago and it is rather dark outside
I used to have one with which you manually geared (Not sure what it is in English). However these ones are the most comfortable to drive over a long period of time IMHO. I prefer Scooter Moped over regular Moped.
Photos where taken with a high res camera (some shit from School). I can't be arsed to down size the pictures so.
