50cc Scooters for the Road

Cheap Road 50cc Mopeds
By Rob D Stone

50cc Mopeds are ideal for travelling into town, to a friends house or anywhere which does not require much power in the vehicle as these bikes are basically scooters but limited to 30mph as many people are still learners when they ride one. Once you have passed your test, then you are able to upgrade to a 125cc scooters which go much faster and have more torque.

What is also good about these mopeds are the low insurance, don't take much petrol and can get in and out of many roads which some cars would find awkward either due to the turning, roadwork's or just road width. On a downside it can be a little more dangerous to ride one as falling off can cause serious injury and unfortunately car drives don't seem to take to mopeds, scooters or cyclists but overall the benefits outweigh the negatives. Adding to this, it takes as much responsibility if not more to ride one, as in the wrong hands a moped can be as dangerous as a car.

In the United Kingdom, you can get a driving permit once you turn 16 to be able to ride a moped. As with driving a car, there comes a lot of responsibility and common sense. Experience comes with time, and learning that a moped is not a toy and should not be used for stunts and showing off. With a car, you at least have a shell to protect you to a degree but with a moped or scooter, you are much more venerable. A L Plate needs to be placed on the vehicle until a full test has been taken.

Traffic conditions can be daunting as a learning in a car, let alone on a moped. You are in more direct contact with your surroundings so with so much going on, you need to adapt very quickly and with this your reactions will become much more responsive. With a 50cc moped being limited to 30mph, this gives much more time to become self aware of your surroundings instead of going to fast and not being able to react in time which can have severe consequences. Even a bump in the road can cause a moped to jolt much more than a car, so balance and control are much more important whereas a car is much more stable.

Whilst in control of a moped, your body is required to control the bike more than you would be required to control car. Your left hand is responsible for controlling the clutch to change year, with the right hand controlling the brake. The left foot is used to change gear as well as many other controls such as signalling, switching to the reserve fuel tank and turning the lights on.

Overall 50cc mopeds are ideal first vehicles but beware that the money involved even for cheap mopeds could be well spent on a first car. If you feel you have the common sense and are mature enough to control a moped then they will pay for themselves in no time due to the miles which can be done on a tank of petrol, otherwise a car is the safest option if your reaction times are not ideal.

Off road scooters are a blast to ride and do tricks on. One of my favorite leisure activities is fitting a good second hand scooter for use off road. Visit my blog for some great tricks videos, Q&A, and absolute steals on scooters.
