In 1894, Hilderbrand & Wolfmueller created and mass produced the first popular step through frame moped. They have been around a long time and were mainly used in the European countries since they were slow to be accepted in the US.
Today, not only are they accepted as modes of transportation, but more and more people are using them for their main modes of transportation to get either to work, or just run errands around town. You see more of them in states like CA than you do in AZ because during the summer, cruising around on a scooter in 110 degrees in AZ is just not pleasant.
Now that you have decided to buy either a moped or scooter, if your budget allows it, you should look at a new one first since they offer manufacturer warranties and will typically last longer before requiring any maintenance to keep them running.
Either way whether you decide on a new or use moped, you need to look at one that you can handle so it needs to be height appropriate to you. You should be able to place your feet firmly on the ground when seated to assure that you have a control of the vehicle at all times. If you get one that’s too high, you just might tip over while you’re waiting at a light or stop sign and not only can that be embarrassing but it can also be dangerous.
We’ve found some great deals on scooters and mopeds from both online vendors and auctions. You can save a lot of money buying them on online new or used as opposed to going into a dealer and having to pay the mark up cost so the salesperson can make money on the deal
If you see one you like below, look it over and then go ahead and either buy it or bid on it!
