According to the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, two- and three-wheeled vehicles with an engine volume of less than 50 cubic centimeters and a maximum design speed of less than 50 km / h are not subject to registration. Anyone who has reached the age of 16 can drive them without a license.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what exactly you want to buy: a moped or a scooter. The former differ from the latter in that they are equipped with pedals. This allows you to go "on muscle power" if you run out of fuel, or you decide to save it. On the other hand, mopeds are usually equipped with environmentally friendly two-stroke engines, while scooters are mostly equipped with four-stroke engines. E-bicycles, as well as compact motorcycle and electric scooters, which take up little space even for home storage, can be distinguished into separate categories.
Step 2
Decide which vehicle is better to buy: new or used. It should be borne in mind that mopeds, unlike scooters, are almost not produced these days. Therefore, if you need a moped, you will most likely have to buy it second-hand. Such devices of Soviet and Czech production are widespread and relatively inexpensive. Their not too high reliability is compensated by the ease of repair and the availability of spare parts.
Step 3
Be sure to make sure that the model of a moped or scooter you have chosen has an engine capacity of no more than 50 cubic centimeters (the most common number is 49, less often - 25) and a maximum design speed of no more than 50 kilometers per hour. Beware of forced cars that have automatic speed limit disabled artificially. Their use is not only prohibited, but also dangerous. In addition, the engine, operating at high speeds, can quickly fail.
Step 4
To buy a new scooter, go to a motorcycle dealership, preferably a large one, which has a large selection of models. The staff of such a salon will advise you on choosing the most suitable option for you. In addition, scooters are sold in some very large supermarkets. Electric bicycles are also on sale there. And to purchase a scooter, it is more rational to use the services of online stores - they are there more often.
Step 5
To buy a used moped or scooter, search for a used moped or scooter in an online auction. Best of all, if the seller is in the same city as you, then you can pick up the purchase in person. Sending such a large item, even over a short distance, can cost more than it costs itself.
