150cc Vespa

Vespa/moped questions. Realllly need some help.?

I am getting my boyfriend a vespa for his Birthday, but I really have no knowledge on the subject, and don't want to end up getting him a crappy one.

So, I have a couple questions. If you know the answer to one/all of them, I would really appreciate some help.

1. Is there a difference between a vespa and a moped? If so, what is it? Which is better?

2. There is a website that I am looking at, it's asking me to choose between an 150cc moped or a 50cc moped. I assume the 150 is better, but what's the difference?

3. Is there anything special or specific I should be looking for? I really want to get him something nice.

Any extra knowledge that you have on the subject of vespas or mopeds in general would be greatly appreciated. I am seriously at a loss.

I know, I am a disgrace to the motorcycle section. But, I figured if you know something about motorcycles, you might be able to help me with vespas.

Thanks in advance. :]

1. Vespa is a brand of scooter. It is a very nice brand of scooter and is one of the more expensive makes. Other very reputable makes that are a bit cheaper but still high quality are Kymco, SYM, and Genuine Scooter Co.

2. A 150cc will be faster but you will need a motorcycle endorsement, insurance, and they are generally more expensive to start. A 150cc will generally reach 60-65MPH and get anywhere between 75 and 90MPG. A 50cc scooter is slower, generally a top speed of 35-45MPH depending on rider weight, hills, etc.. but there is the benefit of not having to have a motorcycle endorsement in most states for anything under 50cc. They also get higher gas mileage and are usually cheaper to begin with.

3. Mainly you want to look at the company reputation. Reputable brands include Piaggio, SYM, Vespa, Kymco, Genuine, and even Honda and Yamaha. If you live in an area that is unusually hot you may want to ensure that the scooter is liquid cooled vs forced air. Also disc brakes on the front and rear are nice vs drum and even larger wheel diameter is nice but not necessary.

Something else to consider is whether or not the dealer for one of these makes is close by so that if something ever does go wrong, its easy to take it in to get serviced, otherwise it will be a pain. Most of these manufacturers come with a 1-2 year warranty as well.
