Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

No way my mates and I would've been dead on a restricted 50 back in 1986. No way would we back in 2003. My zip 50 did a good 50+ when derestricted,Yamaha BWS 50 did around 45,Suzuki katana was on its arse at 55 and the derbi predator did an indicated 60 but it was a derbi so probably 45-50. My firs...

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

If anyone does ride a moped on those rights without L-plates. If they then take their CBT to ride a 125 do they have to start displaying the L-pates on the 50cc too? I've never CBT'd a punter so he can ride a 50 in a car licence. Maybe he had a 125 for 2 years then didn't bother and went to a 50. W...

I don't know how it works fully but there's perhaps a way around?

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

If anyone does ride a moped on those rights without L-plates. If they then take their CBT to ride a 125 do they have to start displaying the L-pates on the 50cc too? From how I understand it,upon completion of a CBT with full car licence you can ride a 50 without L plates and carry pillions effecti...

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

I don't think so. Unless they made a new rule recently. Old mopeds are UK national cat 'p' 30mph which is different to EU-wide cat 'AM', which is 45km/h and other jazz. It's close, but not exactly the same. Maybe that's where it's coming from, rather than the gears themselves. I do know the c50 sem...

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

The Gilera DNA used to be a popular half bike half scooter. They were popular when I was younger along with the runner. I always fancied a runner but wasn't a fan of the DNA. They had issues with water ingress in the dashboard which caused problems. I CBT'd a few lads with DNAs. They ride quite nic...

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will take it all into concideration. Idiot ex suggested getting an electric assisted bike, as he can drive it now. When I pointed out the go 15mph, and would not have enough range to do his journey, she backed off. Then she was talking about a brand new £1800 scooter...

Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

There's a bit of a loophole if I remember right that the geared 50s aren't classed as mopeds and not legal for 16 year olds. I'm not sure where I seen it though I don't think so. Unless they made a new rule recently. Old mopeds are UK national cat 'p' 30mph which is different to EU-wide cat 'AM', w...
