Undoubtedly, mopeds are very fun to ride.
They have been around for many of years and were particularly popular during the 70's.
For unknown reasons, they dropped in popularity in the years afterwards.
But, now that fuel prices are getting very high, in addition to people wanting to find a more environmentally friendly method of local travel, mopeds are gradually becoming in vogue once more.
People ride mopeds for various reasons, either for a bit of fun, running local errands around town, or for riding to work.
These fantastic little machines can get more than a hundred miles to the gallon, and this cannot be paralleled by all the new hybrid automobiles available today.
One of the things they are great for is in traffic jams in the city.
In a lot of overseas countries, this makes mopeds even more popular, as the size of traffic they have is much larger than what is found in the UK.
As an example, they are quite popular in Japan.
Despite the huge amount of traffic they have there, people on mopeds can weave in and out of traffic.
There are numerous advantages that mopeds have over cars.
As an example, they can weave into in places that automobiles can't, such as parking them in places too tight for cars.
You can even park mopeds on sidewalks.
Some of the smaller models can even be parked and secured in bicycle racks! They come in many different sizes, designs and shapes.
You can even choose the colour as well! The first mopeds had pedals as well as a motor.
Today, there are a number of models who are deemed to be mopeds, but do not have pedals.
These models can appear very sporty and show little resemblance to the unattractive earlier models! They are also lighter as well, as much of the body is made with fibreglass and plastic.
This means they can be designed into the much more sporty models seen today.
There are also much more options with storage options on mopeds as well.
It is also much less expensive to buy moped insurance as well! If you have not decided whether or not to buy a moped, you really should do it.
In addition to not being affected by traffic jams, you can also save yourself tons of money on fuel!
