How to Buy a Gas Moped Step 1
The first thing you need to consider when buying a gas moped is how bif of an engine you want to have. There are 50cc mopeds which generally get between 80 and 100 mpg but only have a top speed of about 35 to 40 mph. These mopeds are more suitable for just running around town.
You can also opt for a larger engine such as a 150 cc engine which can reach speeds just over 50mph but may get slightly worse gas mileage than a 50cc. This model is best if you are going to travel longer distances and may have to use roads with a speed limit of 45mph or higher.
