Motobecane moped

I would buy it. Price is reasonable and you can proabbly get it down to 250 with minimal effort. That bike would be a great easy restoration project.

Just me, 50cc is too anemic for riding. 125cc/150cc for a small scoot or bike.

If you doctor up the variator, 50cc will be plenty for in town use.

Being a man of size and stature I tend to agree, but as Chainlube mentioned, if you get the converter setup right even those little 50cc scoots they can get up and moving pretty quickly, even if they have a lot of weight to move. Top speed may not be the most impressive, but that's not why you get a 50cc bike in the first place. To me, a 50cc moped/scooter is the "sure beats walking" level of motorized transportation.

A little 50cc 4t will get you 100+ MILES for 3 OR 4 Dollars, so there's that too..
