So for awhile now I’ve been wanting to get a motorcycle but I’ve realized it just isn’t practical or even do-able in my present situation, however a moped or scooter could be much more realizable. Between being a broke as college kid and wanting to throw most of my money at my e30, this seems like a good idea for affordable, efficient and fun transportation in the right weather conditions.
Before I get a head of myself though, I could use some more info from someone who knows what they are doing. I have a handful big questions…
What are the requirements for a scooter or moped that you don’t need a motorcycle license to use?
What are the insurance requirements for such a vehicle?
What are some decent mopeds or scooters I could get new or used for around $1000?
Ideally I’d like to spend about $500 on a vehicle that doesn’t need a motorcycle license or insurance and can handle the 4 mile trip from my apartment to campus but I get the feeling that’s highly unrealistic.
Anyways any help is always appreciated. Thx
