If you need an inexpensive and light vehicle, or you are preparing to ride a motorcycle, but you have no experience, buying a moped is the best option. It is fast, easy to operate and, importantly, inexpensive. However, the large number of different models on the market confuses the buyer.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the country of origin. Avoid mopeds of Russian and Chinese origin. Even the most patriotic person should understand that a moped is, first of all, a vehicle, which means that it carries a certain risk to life on the road. The chance that at full speed the chain will jam in the wheel, the engine or brakes fail, Russian and Chinese models have much more than Japanese or German ones. Chinese mopeds show themselves quite well in terms of reliability, but replaceable parts quickly become unusable - due to the cheapness of the unit itself, frequent replacement of various parts of the moped lies.
Step 2
Ask the year the moped was made if you pick it up. Even the most reliable mopeds of the most famous brands "age" like everything else. If you do take a moped made in the last century, check the engine, frame (whether there are cracks, rust, etc.) and electronics properly.
Step 3
Check the volume of the engine according to the documents for the moped. If its volume is more than fifty cubic meters, get ready to hand over to receive a driver's license of category A. If the owner does not have the documents, think, is it worth taking it at all?
Step 4
When buying a moped in the salon, find out the addresses of service centers that provide repairs and spare parts for your model. Do not take "white crows" that no one knows or has seen. Like it or not, sooner or later, like any technique, the moped will require repair.
