A brief mini-doc about mopeds. Enjoy! Special Thanks: Honest Bob's Two Stroke Emporium LGN Moped Club Eric Brunner Nikola Skur Emery Breon Rachel Bennov Korey Whaley Alic Moss Alex the Prospect
Yeah in Holland a lot of people have mopeds and scooters, it's part of the daily commute. The sad part is that no motorcyclist waves at you, only if you have a motorcycle with a 50cc engine will they wave. I have a Aprilia Rx 50 with a 80cc engine so I don't feel excluded from the wave lol.
My friends and I grew up on Mopeds through the ‘80s as teens. We used to tune and tweak them to run 45mph and we really thought we were doing something lol. God they were fun. The freedom as a 15yr old was just incredible. I often think I’ve buying one for nostalgia, but I was probably 130lbs back then. Don’t know if one could go over 15mph with my weight of 200lbs now lol.
Here in the UK, at 16 all you can have on your licence is a moped so a group of us in the late 80's used to rag around on 'peds, tuning them and generally being as badass as 49cc will allow. I had a Simson S51, which were built in East Germany before the wall came down. They were very tuneable and quicker than the Japanese bikes. Great to see there is still a kindred spirit out there.
Back in the mid-‘80s I owned a couple SACHS mopeds from Germany. The older model of the two was a bit quicker. I installed a 58 main jet I think it was and it would top out at 45mph which we thought was really doing something lol. I would’ve loved to pal around with you fellas back then lol.
Honda MB5's are motorcycles and not mopeds. The MB5 had a 49cc motor, but was capable of speeds up to 55mph. It was only made and released in the US in 1982! Two of my friends in junior high had one; one in red trim and one in black. I rode them like I stole them every opportunity I could.
Still surprises me how much of a culture has sprang up around these modest little runabouts, but on the other hand, what's not to like? They're cheap, the fuel economy is outstanding, they don't take up much storage or parking space, and even the basic 50cc ones are fun as hell to go riding around on. I personally have a 1982 Honda Urban Express Deluxe I traded a few bits and bobs for off after practically begging to buy it for months. No great shakes, just a little 50cc two-stroke stinker with 4200 miles on the clock, but she was a runner when I got her, and aside from a few things I've had to fix she's in good shape. Like to go riding just for fun and to go run errands (also does a fair job fumigating mosquitoes, nice side benefit so far as I'm concerned), and I'm still as madly in love with the little thing as when I took it for a spin for the first time. Honda built 'em bulletproof, especially the old two-strokes, you take care of the engine they'll run forever.
My Dad sold Puch, Malaguti and Jawas! 70’s ! So much fun for a fourteen year old to take one out and ride till 3am.. when I worked w/him I serviced Billy Joel’s red Puch with saddlebags and windshield his wife got the silver 2 speed. I want one again!
Tomos is one of the best mopeds, especially domestic, Slovenian models. No hideous pedals and models that were never ever sold in USA. Slovenia is one of the few countries not requiring pedals so mopeds look more badass than anywhere else.
nice, thanks for the great video, brings back memories of the 80s when i was modifying and riding them,had a motorcycle and a liscence, but rode mopeds because they were FUN!!!!!!!🖒🖒🖒
Mopeds were still popular in the mid 1980's. My first motorized vehicle was a 1985 Garelli Supersport XL with 50cc engine. About 35 MPH top speed, 40 mph if a strong wind pushed me from behind.
Back in the 80's I had a Garelli but my friend had a Derbi Sport Laguna. It was like a crotch rocket moped. Cafe bars, a tach, flip down footpegs, and a foot brake for the rear as well as an expansion chamber exhaust that I always took the baffle out of when I rode it. It would do 50mph.
Wow...... A whole different perspective to the UK! Our moped world was driven by 1970’s legislation restricting 16 year olds to mopeds until they were 17 whereupon they could then step onto a Japanese 30bhp 250cc rocket ship. Hence now mopeds are viewed by the UK 50 somethings as an item to be bog standard from their "yoof" (Janet Street-Porter's quotes). Interesting to hear why America got mopeds in the 1970’s, even more weird to see they've become a hipster accoutrement. So here's the challenge for them. In 1975 my friend Martin S chopped (well cut it about with a hacksaw, put a loud exhaust on it and spray painted it with Halfords blue metallic paint) a Raleigh Runabout and it became "Pedalglide in Blue". Love to see you make one of those - Martin's 60 this month he would certainly chuckle over that.
i love my mopeds, i also ride motorcycle but with mopeds you dont go as fast so you can enjoy your surroundings more. me and my friends participated in a trip called the Carbagerun moped edition for three times now. its a 1000 kilometer trip in five days on no more than 50cc's.
You're a man with jokes. (or a woman...I got mad respect for female bikers too) Why are you even here watching this if you don't care about motorized bikes?
FUC A3 actually she's not A moped is a motorised 2 wheel vehicle that has pedals The UK laws messed the naming scheme by classifying any thing 50cc and. Below as a.moped
Moped and scooter laws have changed dramatically, in California. 42 years ago I owned a Puch Maxi moped with aluminum mag rims, no spokes. At that time it was the most expensive model, they sold, it cost $600. All I had to do was registered it as a bicycle and could ride it anywhere, with no motorcycle license or insurance, except freeways. When I was registering it at my local police department they thought I was crazy and they had to look up the laws on a moped. Once they determine that I was right, they then issued me a bicycle license. Everybody down there registering there regular bicycles couldn't believe it. I now own a 1000 watt electric motor DIY beach cruiser. I will post below three categories scooters / moped / Electric and motorized bicycle laws. After reading all three California laws, I believe owning a electric or motorized bicycle will give you the most freedom and least-expensive. California Motorized Scooter Laws In California, a motorized scooter, also referred to as an electric scooter, is defined as having: Two wheelsHandlebarsA floorboard that can be stood on while riding the scooterA motor that powers the vehicle While a motorized scooter can have a driver’s seat, this isn’t a defining feature of a scooter under California law. You can operate a scooter with any class of driver’s license in California; you don’t need a license specific to scooters, but you still do need to have a driver’s license. And while motorized scooters are street-legal vehicles, they do not need to be registered with the DMV or carry license plates. While on the road, motorized scooter riders need to obey the same traffic and safety laws as any other vehicle. However, there are also some scooter-specific restrictions in California: The driver needs to wear a U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet at all times.Scooters can’t be ridden on roads with a speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour, unless there is a bike lane, in which case the scooter can only be ridden within it.As with other vehicles, motorized scooters should not be operated on sidewalks.There cannot be a passenger on scooters, just the driver.Motorized scooters shouldn’t be driven faster than 15 miles per hour on the road. These regulations apply to standard motorized scooters. Mobility scooters, on the other hand, can be driven at up to 30 miles per hour on the road. However, this law only applies to mobility scooters operated by seniors or those with a physical disability. California Mopeds Laws A moped in California is a vehicle with the following characteristics: Two or three wheels. If your vehicle has four wheels, it will generally be considered a car or off-road vehicle.An electric motor and automatic transmission. A moped may also include pedals, if it’s not entirely propelled by its motor.The moped isn’t capable of being driven faster than 30 miles per hour on level ground. Note, if your vehicle is referred to as a “moped,” but it doesn’t go faster than 20 miles per hour, it will likely be considered a motorized bicycle. A “noped” may qualify under different categories depending upon its maximum speed, so you should confirm potential requirements with the DMV if you’re unsure, before operating one on the road. In order to drive a moped, you need to first have a motorcycle license, either M1 or M2, which should be carried while riding on public roads. You also need to register your moped with the DMV and obtain a license plate for it. Once you’ve registered your moped, there’s no annual renewal, this is a one-time process. When you register your moped, you’ll also receive a moped ID card, or registration card, which acts as your proof of ownership. You should also carry your moped ID card at all times when operating the moped. Moped riders also need to wear an approved safety helmet when riding on public roads. California Electric & Motorized Bicycle Laws Motorized bikes, also called electric bikes, are similar to mopeds but are distinct in how they’re treated by California law. A motorized bicycle is defined by having pedals, an electric motor with fewer than 1,000 watts and a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour or less on level ground. Electric bicycles are street-legal in California, but you don’t need a license or registration in order to operate one on the road. However, you must be at least 16 years old and wear a DOT-approved safety helmet. In addition, motorized bikes can only be ridden by one person at a time-you can’t carry passengers.
I was reading that they call the M1 and M2 an endorsement tacked on to your drivers license. If you do not have the endorsement can you register your moped?or will you be denied the registration?Cheers
here is tennessee, it's about the same, you can ride in the bike paths if it's 49cc/50cc, however, if you are riding on the roadway you still have to get a license plate to ride it on the road, wear a helmet & take safety precautions. I "attempted" to get an old honda moped from a local bike shop, but the guy wanted 3 or 4000 dollars for it & i figured i could get a brand new scooter for that price, so i did get a honda ruckus, that was my first, then i bought an old yamaha vino125 & hubby & i worked on it because it wasn't running, had a lot of fun on it, still do.....I guess the guy thought it was a classic; the old honda moped, but i'm happy w/my choices
Yamaha fs1e,dx,yellow 1976,purchased new for £265 by myself, i did 10,000 miles in one year on it,i actually passed moped test here in uk,which was a strange thing to do ,as it only allowed you to take a pillion on it,it was decoked 3 times,and always went better,used castrol tt oil,was very reliable,it had fixed pedals,that could propel it badly,but that was just to get round the law.great video guys.
Does is have to be less than 49cc? Also do they have to have pedals? the one at the end that did the burnout didn't have pedals and had multiply gears. Are most of the centrifugal clutch or are there some that do have multiply gears?
honda mb5/0. Elitists will say its only a moped if you straddle it like a bike, 50cc or was originally 50cc and has pedals. Take the honda express for example I have two and I call them mopeds even though they dont have pedals. In my opinion any originally 50cc bike from at most early 80s qualifies as a moped.
Aprilia, derbi, yamaha and rieju are some companies that still make mopeds. They have models that are basically dirt bikes that are street legal. There are aprilia sx50, derbi senda, yamaha dt50 and rieju mrt 50
They not all have pedals only automatic. pedals are mostly to start the engines but there are some people who modify it to a footrests and then you need to push the moped to start it my custom Honda Amigo 1970 got that too. You also got mopeds you need to shift mostly like 6 gears.
Electric bicycles are mopeds too. No one is willing to admit that these days and they want access to bicycle trails. Used to work at a bike shop that sold these these new back in the day.
@@extec101 yeah I know, its the only thing you can drive from 16 years of age, for the rest you need to be 18. Also British and Italian tuning culture has spread very far in europe.
Mopeds are motorcycles with less then a 50 cm3.Not all of them have pedals and not all of them are made just for making jokes about them.Moped that did the burnout in the end of the video is Honda MBX 50 that is serious bike,like some of Tomos models without Sprint,all other Tomos have speeds.Sprint is a scooter and even if you buy it new it was a joke,Targa just look nice.Look for a Tomos Colibri 15 SL,15 SLC,15 Sprint,Cross 50 Junior,BT 50/50 S,APN 4 MS,Cross 50 Senior,ATX 50C,thats the best Tomos mopeds.
+Radovan Jovicic Mopeds are defined differently in different places. For instance, in Philly, a moped must be less than 50cc and have pedals to be legally registered as a moped. Otherwise, it's treated like a motorcycle and all motorcycle laws apply. And yea, the MB5 is cool 👍
+rdub205 In my country mopeds are: "The moped is a motorized 2 wheel or 3 wheel vehicle with the engine volume of max. 50 cc's and that cannot exceed speeds of 50 kph (31 mph). Basically everything is a moped in Croatia that has 50 cc's and can't go faster than 50 (31). Which means we can't kit out our peds since they instantly fall under the motorcycle category if we do so and then you need a license for them.
4:28 - 4:36 Gettysburg! good times, my white '78 pa2, DR. spotted 4:33, loaner that day, ATGATT official floral print safety gear. 4:36 Angels Motormarina dumped!
Certainly is rare to be female and so into mopeds. I totally get it though, low power lightweight bikes are so fun. Amazing how much work they can do with so little fuel.

Prospecting for a moped gang. Living the life man, living the life!😂😂😂😂
🥴🤯😂 I feel that way about prospecting for any club, but especially this one. haha. I'm sure they got MCs permission. lol
I'm a 1100cc, track day bro, race suit wearing motorcyclist and I love these guys! This is so freaking cool!
bike life matters.
its not about how big the bike is its about riding.
Yeah in Holland a lot of people have mopeds and scooters, it's part of the daily commute. The sad part is that no motorcyclist waves at you, only if you have a motorcycle with a 50cc engine will they wave. I have a Aprilia Rx 50 with a 80cc engine so I don't feel excluded from the wave lol.
Can't believe these Tomos motorcycles made their way all the way to the U.S from my country Slovenia.

For that guy to say he met "the weirdest guy he ever met" , now that is saying something.
Honda MB5's are motorcycles and not mopeds.
The MB5 had a 49cc motor, but was capable of speeds up to 55mph.
It was only made and released in the US in 1982!
Two of my friends in junior high had one; one in red trim and one in black.
I rode them like I stole them every opportunity I could.
Good to see a Honda MB-5 still running. Honda put the same engine in a trials-type frame, the MT-5, and in a chopper-like frame, The Raccoon.
my first moped got to be a honda mt5.
I bought a 1980 Honda 50cc all the moped needed was a new fuel filter and pump and battery. Had a lot of fun
Still surprises me how much of a culture has sprang up around these modest little runabouts, but on the other hand, what's not to like? They're cheap, the fuel economy is outstanding, they don't take up much storage or parking space, and even the basic 50cc ones are fun as hell to go riding around on.
I personally have a 1982 Honda Urban Express Deluxe I traded a few bits and bobs for off after practically begging to buy it for months.

Love my mopeds man so much fun and unlike real motorcycle their cheap to work on cheap to run and fun to upgrade. Keep on mopedin
nice, thanks for the great video, brings back memories of the 80s when i was modifying and riding them,had a motorcycle and a liscence, but rode mopeds because they were FUN!!!!!!!🖒🖒🖒

That MB5 is amazing. Rebel rousers are everywhere!
That MB5 is also a motorcycle...
Just found this video. Live in northeast philly near 5 points. I have my first moped being delivered shortly!
Love the sound on the MB-5
Back in the 80's I had a Garelli but my friend had a Derbi Sport Laguna. It was like a crotch rocket moped. Cafe bars, a tach, flip down footpegs, and a foot brake for the rear as well as an expansion chamber exhaust that I always took the baffle out of when I rode it. It would do 50mph.

Mopeds Are The Best Transportation
This is Glorious! Love the mini 2 strokes!!

Great video guys...Love what you are doing!
i love my mopeds, i also ride motorcycle but with mopeds you dont go as fast so you can enjoy your surroundings more. me and my friends participated in a trip called the Carbagerun moped edition for three times now. its a 1000 kilometer trip in five days on no more than 50cc's.
Motorcycles are infinitely better, but I like mopeds too. Getting me a Garelli Rally Sport moped in blue

Hi, I had a puch maxi in 1973 great bike's nice video!
....Rebel without a full license :-/
You're a man with jokes. (or a woman...I got mad respect for female bikers too) Why are you even here watching this if you don't care about motorized bikes?
Well, 50cc are fun, I have bigger, but tuning a 50cc Piaggio Ape/Vespacar is some of the most fun you can have with a Spanner.
Nothing says rebelion as well as participation in official bureaucracy.
love the culture more gurls need to do this :)
I like it
That's very nice. I drive a Simson Schwalbe and a S51. Good great from Germany 👍✌️💪🤛
Respect from MALAYSIA
Motor+pedals=Moped.
Jenny Stjärnfeldt no+you+are+wrong= you are really wrong.
Jenny Stjärnfeldt or MoFo 😊 hahaha
FUC A3 actually she's not
A moped is a motorised 2 wheel vehicle that has pedals
The UK laws messed the naming scheme by classifying any thing 50cc and. Below as a.moped
Jenny Stjärnfeldt who doesnt want a motorbike that you can also use as a bicycle?
Jenny S. .... EXACTLY. You have the power of logic . 👏
I had motobecane 51V it was very nice shape I had to sold it I like the new Tomos they look great

Nice one . I've got a 1975 motobecane X7 & enjoy going out for a thrash on that more than my XT500 or 1978 Z650.
My first street legal bike was a moped. A smiley bought it at a Harley dealer in 77 450 bucks great fun .
I was waiting for Hot Rod to show up and do some tasty stunts.
Be your own legend

You don't need any drugs when you smell a 2stroke.
My kinda documentary
Eric Brunner MB5: PM me if you want my spare motor that I'll never do anything with. No balderdash, I'll ship.
what's the difference between a moped and a scooter?
Yessssss ma boy has a Honda mb 5👌👌 Nice bike, whats the setup??
I had a mb5 Honda that thing was quick for 50cc
Jon Sevik, is that the same guy who skated for Landyachtz and Original or is that coincidence?
Does is have to be less than 49cc? Also do they have to have pedals? the one at the end that did the burnout didn't have pedals and had multiply gears. Are most of the centrifugal clutch or are there some that do have multiply gears?
never mind, i need to read the comments
honda mb5/0. Elitists will say its only a moped if you straddle it like a bike, 50cc or was originally 50cc and has pedals. Take the honda express for example I have two and I call them mopeds even though they dont have pedals. In my opinion any originally 50cc bike from at most early 80s qualifies as a moped.
okay cool, thank you:)
Aprilia, derbi, yamaha and rieju are some companies that still make mopeds.
They have models that are basically dirt bikes that are street legal.
There are aprilia sx50, derbi senda, yamaha dt50 and rieju mrt 50
They not all have pedals only automatic. pedals are mostly to start the engines but there are some people who modify it to a footrests and then you need to push the moped to start it my custom Honda Amigo 1970 got that too. You also got mopeds you need to shift mostly like 6 gears.
Electric bicycles are mopeds too. No one is willing to admit that these days and they want access to bicycle trails.
Used to work at a bike shop that sold these these new back in the day.
As an European, this look on the moped/scooter world feels wierd.
in europe most teens feel a need to start out ther teens on a moped or scooter.
some still enjoying mopeds even at old age.
@@extec101 yeah I know, its the only thing you can drive from 16 years of age, for the rest you need to be 18. Also British and Italian tuning culture has spread very far in europe.
Great film guys! Over here in France many of us use 125cc scooters as an everyday drive. Cheap, practical, quick and fun! What's not to like?
What's not to like is that in most countries you would need a full bike license .
Very honest, short film featuring moped culture and a bunch of haters in a 2 cycle world of love and hate.
Puch😍😍😍
motobecane mopeds are the fastest ones and they are the best for tuning
is that an ar80 i see at 0:54?
Mopeds are motorcycles with less then a 50 cm3.Not all of them have pedals and not all of them are made just for making jokes about them.Moped that did the burnout in the end of the video is Honda MBX 50 that is serious bike,like some of Tomos models without Sprint,all other Tomos have speeds.Sprint is a scooter and even if you buy it new it was a joke,Targa just look nice.Look for a Tomos Colibri 15 SL,15 SLC,15 Sprint,Cross 50 Junior,BT 50/50 S,APN 4 MS,Cross 50 Senior,ATX 50C,thats the best Tomos mopeds.
+Radovan Jovicic Mopeds are defined differently in different places. For instance, in Philly, a moped must be less than 50cc and have pedals to be legally registered as a moped. Otherwise, it's treated like a motorcycle and all motorcycle laws apply.
And yea, the MB5 is cool 👍
+Radovan Jovicic check out the tomos ding dog, its sweet
+rdub205 In my country mopeds are: "The moped is a motorized 2 wheel or 3 wheel vehicle with the engine volume of max. 50 cc's and that cannot exceed speeds of 50 kph (31 mph). Basically everything is a moped in Croatia that has 50 cc's and can't go faster than 50 (31). Which means we can't kit out our peds since they instantly fall under the motorcycle category if we do so and then you need a license for them.
Rale ŠDG ummmmm targa is an automatic.....
Rale ŠDG look for a Honda Camino
A dude that digs mopeds calling people weird. Anyone else see this irony?
Mopeds. No problem. Duuuude, they have a dog that bites and lead sinkers for ear ring things. Don't mess.
I got 2 mopeds and i ride a lot

Best moped yamaha fs1e
Here in Germany we would call this a Mockick, because it leaks the pedals and has a kickstarter.
Look for the artists Jasper Carrot and the track Funky Moped
モペモペ
Not one Zundapp or Kreidler... I guess those were not very common in the US back in the day? Because they were shifters maybe?
I literally saw only one actual moped in that video
The last bike doing the burnout isn’t even a Moped lol, you’re disqualified dude lol.
Mopeds......
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 Oh and we got a prospect!
Certainly is rare to be female and so into mopeds. I totally get it though, low power lightweight bikes are so fun. Amazing how much work they can do with so little fuel.
Dude on the AR50, bet he had an 80 engine in it.
