Scooter for a 16 year old

[bub2006]

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. I fucked that off, as he's bound to stack it, as mentioned above.
I've found a lexmoto 50cc bike on marketplace 2020 for £400. Won't come out of gear. He bought it to fix for his son, but his enthusiasm outpaced his skill. He also thinks it has 31 thousand km, but the stupid cunt is counting the red one on the right which measures 10ths, so really only 3.1k.

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 nicely.

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', 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 semi auto wasn't a moped category so wasn't sure if it still was in place as I don't think the hunter for example is limited.

Depends how it's registered...robbed from C90 Club:

Alot of folk I knew way back loved them but not the problems. All but disappeared now though.

Lots of variations then. Still an older article though as it refers to 50cc on full car licence prior to 2013 but that now stands for everyone providing they've done a CBT once only and gave a full car licence.

Can a 16 year old still ride an unrestricted pre '77 50?

[Hooli]

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.

I was thinking the bike provisional might override the grandfather rights to the A1M, although it shouldn't as it's a different class.

Has anyone else tried to pedal a pre '77 50? Fucking hell it's hard work!
