That’s one way to get thrown off a job site

 

Big brain energy right there

 

Who all knows anything about mopeds? I’m looking for one, preferably with larger wheels (I have no idea the standard sizes), top tank if possible.

Driving: to and from work, 1.5 miles, grocery store 0.5 miles, etc.

Electric would be acceptable.

Price range under a grand.

Clarification: I know NOTHING about mopeds, which is why I am asking

 

i know my buddy was looking at starting to stock those electric bicycles at his shop. you can get them for like $4k but he was looking at some that seemed easy to work on (from a dealership perspective) for $1200. i know they're popular with rv peepo

 

Yeah I might lean that direction, way cheaper AND I think I can be exempted on taxes, I assume RI would tax the moped as a tangible assett, so a bike would be about 1/4 the cost at the most, no taxes, etc. TBD.

 

That's one way to guarantee OSHA job security

 

Not too up on them but I've heard the ELF brand is very good

 

Yeah unless I am reading it wrong (which I might be) in order to be a registered moped in RI, it needs to have pedals that can propel it which wouldn’t surprise me if they said “everythign else including below 50cc is also a motorcycle now, so pay us more to register it neener neener.”

E bikes are allowed and there are some restrictions, but for my 1.5 mile commute and 0.5 mile ride to the shop, I think I can be fine with a smaller/slower one if I needed to

We’ll see. I have a decent bicycle for this right now, the moped was just an idea I had and if I can get one for like 750 or less, I might let ‘er rip, otherwise bicycle it is!

Would be nicer for when I run home at lunch too when it’s 95 degrees out. :|

 

Well...major truck mods that haven't been purchased yet have all just been put on hold. Thankfully I don't think there's anything major I wanted to do anytime soon that isn't already waiting to be installed. I'm adding a new vehicle to the fleet, let's play a game - It's orange.

 

Vespa

 

Crosstrek?

 

It's bigger than a Vespa.

 

It's only got one seat.

 

Harley?

 

More than 2 wheels.

 

Can-Am

 

Man, you guys have all sorts of fun ways to spend my money. More utilitarian than recreational.

 

Polaris???

 

Nope.

 

Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki?
