What is a Scooter?
A scooter has a up to a 125cc engine and a power output of 11kw. Any alterations to this will prevent the scooter from being legally defined as 'learner legal'. A tuning of a scooter like a Vespa Scooter to increase performance will affect a manufacturers warranty.
What is a Moped?
A moped is not designed to exceed 30mph and has a maximum 50cc engine.
Most mopeds can be 'De-Restricted'. For example, a Piaggio 50cc Scooter is made for the world market and in some countries they allow bikes to go faster.
In the UK 50cc restricted moped are what we sell. Models like NRG, Gilera Runner and ZIP SP models sold here are strangled down to 30mph. Only at your request, our on-site workshop can de-restrict the engine unit, to restore the power to what it would be in countries like Italy.
This will affect the status of your PTW as a moped becasue as the performance is improved, it is no longer 'designed not to exceed 30mph' so no longer a moped.
Why use a Scooter or Moped?
Scooters or Mopeds are one of the fastest, cheapest and most enjoyable ways of travelling in London. There have never been more reasons to leave the car at home and Scooter.
