Hello all,
My name is Steve.
I am currently looking into motorized bikes and mopeds as an alternative 2nd vehicle.
I'm not really looking to build one, but to get a pre-built, & at-least i can study how its put together threw maintenance etc. then perhaps build one as i want it or one for my wife later as i become more mechanically able.
The motorized bike seems like a cheaper alternative to a new moped (as i do have a budget on this), & less worries about buying something used. & could use the extra money saved, but im wondering about the comfort, being able to place storage for small grocery shops, etc, & the laws as most really don't mention what a gas powered motorized bike is, & a real moped would do away with this fine line of not exactly knowing.
BUT According to the Idaho & Utah which i will be moving at the end of summer, A motorized bike, really falls under the Moped category but what their pages explain a moped is. theres even a Utah dmv pdf that shows a motorized bike next to the moped definition.
Anyway, any suggestions would be helpful on anything i went over.
Thanks
