what ped

[billyboy]

OK i don't know sod all about them i want a 50cc for my daughter should i stick with a jap make or some thing else she see one for £499 brand new on the net but it cant be any good for that can it. she said thats the one i want dad its red

[Faraz]

Dont get the £499 one.

Its most probably chinese and will be terrible.

Get her a known brand cheapish moped.

Yamaha Neos, Yamaha Aerox, Peageot Speedfight etc etc.

Also, dont do any modifications to it, apart from de-restricting it if you want.

[billyboy]

thanks mate no it will stay at 30 mph she could ride a 125 but wot she dont know wont hurt lol

[Hutchysrs50]

i can only agree, for £500 you can probly get a decent well known brand scooter, not a new one, but all the same, a decent one, done a quick search on ebay, they seem to be around £700 for a nice one.

thanks lads i will be looking in to it i wish i could get her in to bikes but peds are a start i spouse. wife is kicking off a bit oh and she said dad i can go high beach with you and my uncles erm oh shit 30 mph to h/b

[Hutchysrs50]

[Josh91]

pshh get her a nice 125 mate.

there's a bloke on themotorbikeforum selling a pretty good sym xs 125 for 400 quid! i think they're quite reliable and are alot like the ybr.

the most dangerous part about mopeds are how slow they are! plus a bunch of chavvy ped boys might turn up and try and race

[Hutchysrs50]

[Nipedley]

Definately dont go for the £499, they're always chinese pieces of crap that will either kill your daughter or the ped itself will die within a week or two and be effectively scrap. Also they usually turn up in pieces so some assembly required

A decent 2nd hand jap one is your best bet

[johnsmith222]

I would much rather my kid had a 125 rather than a 50.

125s are safer.

[Hutchysrs50]

[billyboy]

hi lads i can hear what you are saying she is 22 y/o and iam sick of running her about and talked her in to looking at peds yep 30 mph i dont want her going any faster to be honest. dad is just sick of being a taxi . i have been down the lets make it go faster my self 25 years ago.mb-5 Brian dune tune and a micron and k@n filter bloody thing did about 55mph. sod you lot i am feeling old now them rose tinted glasses aint that good

[tykey]

get her vibrator

[billyboy]

thanks mate

[Endless Nameless]

If she's 22 she's old enough to get her own damn moped!

Don't get a cheap new one, and I'd suggest avoiding a Speedfight from my brother's experience, although it may just be that his is a dog. Sound advice to try and get an unmodified one too.

But really she should be looking at getting a 125. More reliable, and probably less dangerous. And more useful- quite happily did 120 mile + runs on my 25 year old CG125, wouldn't do more than 30 miles on a 50cc...

22! Get her a boyfriend

what about a Vespa, Bit more retro\cool for a girlie (IMO) than a chav ped but I aint got a clue if you can get for that price bracket.

If you want the retro look without paying the vespa price, i would suggest looking at the Aprilia Habana.

honestly a humble 4 stroke 125 is perfect. not quick but not too slow to piss off other drivers. it's a massive task trying to get to get up a hill on a 50 aswell.

bill, imagine being on a tiny bike having to go 30 on a dual carriage way with cars flying past you trust me, it's not nice

[billyboy]

did it 25 years ago.i have my old hyosung hack its a 125 she just cant get the clutch thing at all as she calls it so a 50 ped seemed like a good idea and she was the one that found the ped for 500 pound not me.i would love her to get a cg then i could nick it. and a 50 will be cheep to insure she would only use it for local trips to go round her mates or shops no way is she going H/B with me and the boys nooooooooooo chance. picture it h/d 1200 buell city x gsxr 600 cbf 250 vfr 750 600 bandit and a ped it would take a week and that's just family. me uncles cousins

[binge]

Seriously, a 4t 125 or even a de-restricted 50cc 2t, Is a damn sight safer than a restricted 50.

Impatient cagers make it unsafe for Restricted Moped Riders. Making dangerously close overtakes on single carriage roads because they cant be bothered to sit at 30mph for a few hundred feet.

Pop on a Gilera Ice - Nice and light, reliable, parts easy to get hold of, easy to upgrade and I know about 50cc's

Anything that can't make the NSL should be banned from the roads. Get her a 125.
