I'm selling my moped, its a 50cc, goes fairly quick up to 32mph (max I've had is a indicated 39mph downhill with the wind behind me and me farting, also note a tucked in position for 'teh lulz'). Reliable, never had an issue with it and has done a job of ferrying me to and from work for just over a year no problem. I'm not the smallest of people either.

PM me for more info.

That does seem a bit expensive for what seems to be a generic 50cc ped.
You can generally get good examples for a lot less.

[edit] - I presume that's new. I'd expect you can an almost-new one for not far off half that, then, so would look in to that area myself.

For the money the V clicks are excellent. I rode one on my cbt and it wasn't that bad at all. Quite nippy. If I had to buy any ped in the world that was 50cc it would be one of those!

Right, THe VClics... they are a rebadged version of the generic chinese mopeds such as the Baotian BT49QT-9.
the quality is the exact same just initially bolted together a bit better. Spares are plentyful but these are not the nippyest of scooters either.
The low seat height makes for a very easy scooter to ride. In my short road test on one I found the centre stand to limit the cornerin abilities somewhat but I am a "Spirited rider" at the best of times.
If you buy new, Make sure you straight AWAY... replace the engine and gearbox oil as it is of TERRIBLE quality.
