    If you passed your test, and want something a bit more powerful, you can ride a Piaggio MP3-400 on a car license as it has 2 front wheels and is therefore is classed as a 'trike' due to the spacing between the front wheels (the 125cc version however, has the wheels too close, so is classed as a motorbike).

    From what others have said on other MSE threads, these are very stable bikes.

    Be careful with these so-called trikes as they can be very difficult/expensive for insurance.

    And to buy if my quick google is anything to go by!:eek: Think I am after a pink Vespa-esque moped:p
  • Don't get a moped they are too slow, everything on the road will try and push you in to the gutter. I've only ridden a moped once and it was by far the most scary ride I have ever had.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
  • Do you have full moped entitlement on your licence? It will be restricted to 30mph, You may think
    thats OK, Until you need to pull out into a 40mph+ road.

    I had mine de-restricted, So technically it was no longer a moped, But could cruise at 50mph+.
