depending where you are...get the moped. youre in for the same total cost, possibly even LESS after the third engine, and well...if youre asking these kinds of questions, i (personally, no offense) feel that you, like a lot of the general population, will just get ANNOYED with a motorised pushbike.
if you arent experimental, havent played around with these sorts of things before, and have extremely limited workshop facilities = completely stuffed when something, no matter how simple, goes wrong which it will. regularly. no matter what engine, supplier and or genius fabricator you have access to... its called murphys law. my engines dont DARE breakdown cus they know ill either fix em or melt em down for scrap... either way, they end up regretting it...
if you want a hobby, dont mind the occasional push home, or even ringing a mate at 2am when its packed it in... sure. pushy.
everyday use, get you to work on time every time, get you home in time for *insert fave show here*, doesnt need constant fiddling tweaking or TLC...moped. especially if you want to cover more than 30-40km each way.
it does depend on where you live and what the rules there are. you might have to get even the pushy registered. you might get away with a 50cc motorbike without rego! etc etc.
a brand new moped comes with at LEAST a years WARRANTY. any and ALL guarantees are void and null if you use a pushbike. frame, components, engine... purchase at users risk!
