Moped driving and stuff

[Guest]

Hi! do anypony here drive moped? You maybe are to old and have a car or to you and is not abel to drive. But i LOOOOOOOVE To drive moped! i think it is so funny (btw i dont know if its called moped there you live but i translated it from Swedish and it said it was named moped on English)

Where I live, they're either called mopeds or scooters

I tried driving one once, when I was about 14 I think on my friend's. I haven't driven one since then but It was pretty fun. I wouldn't get one myself though. They're really noisy and annoying and you can't go on most major roads with them. I'd much rather stick to my car!

Oh cool, I didn't know you was Swedish too

Anyways, nope. I don't have one and I don't have any plans on buying one either.

Car is priority for me.

I used to drive one, but I got a 125 motorbike now. Mopeds are a lot of fun, but I hate it when cars overtake you for no reason when your driving one.

I have always heard of these vehicles being referred to as "Mopeds" around here in the USA.

 

I drive a car myself, but I feel that people should use a Moped if they are thinking about it, as I have heard that as long as the engine displacement remains under 50 cc, one does not have to insure such a vehicle (liability insurance on cars and motorcycles is requried by law over here in the USA; such insurance is legalized extrortion). A car suits my needs well, but agian, one does not really win with a car financially speaking, as an older, worn vehicle will "nickel-dime" you to death on service needs and a newer car (as in my case) will kill you on payments, higher insurance premiums, and higher licensing fees (license tabs) for years to come. If one can get by with a Moped, one can easily save thousands of dollars by doing as such.

Well, I got a moped and the license to drive it last fall, but then it started raining snow so I had to wait through the winter until I got to drive it. It took some time for me to get used to the gears, but after few days It was much easier. Now I drive it everyday to school, it's pretty fun! I'm not old enough to get a car driving license so, yeah. Here in Finland you have to be 15 to get a moped driving licence, and if you're born before 1985 you can drive one without the license.

I've always wanted to get one. I've got a compact pickup (Ford Ranger) that I love to death and would never let go, but it would be nice to have just a small little hopper to get around town when I'm by myself. Plus you can't beat that 100+ MPG.

I got a moped when I turned 15, that's the legal age to drive one here. I got it so I could go from place to place faster, but I really didn't use it that much . I still have it , and I'll be using it this summer to travel to my summer job ! I hate the fact that you can't really go fast on a moped (at least not legally ), and on long rides alone it starts getting really boring, especially if the road doesn't have any turns or bumps...

 

Here "moped cars" are really popular too, but they're basically a joke: a small car made of mostly plastic with a ridiculously small engine . They also cost as much as a real car, so I don't understand the point of getting something like that...

I don't drive, but whenever I feel sad I just ride the subway! Something about riding the train just comforts me!
