Vespa Style Mopeds

WHAT TYPE OF HELMET do I BUY for MOPEDS?

what type of helmet do i need to buy for drive my moped.. i did read somewhere that maryland law ( state i live in) says moped drivers do not have to wear helmets.. which sounds crazy to me.. (bicycle riders are required by maryland law to wear helmets if you ride on the street).. so maybe the info i read was wrong.. but EITHER way im wearing a helmet... but im not sure which type of helmet to buy...

1. do i get an open faced motorcycle helmet ( what i was thinking about getting)

2. a full faced motorcycle helmet

3. or do they have moped style helmets i see vespa helmets on sale at ebay.. but im not really feeling those type of style helmets.. so would an open faced motorcylce helmet be the best choice or not???

Two things to think about: Saftey and Price. It depends if you want alot of one and some of the other or if you can comprimise. Let me tell you though, full face helmets are made mainly for saftey versus comfort. Full face helms take some getting used to and are designed to be SNUG around the face and head in order to work best to provide their best protection. They will cost the most since they are all around protective.
An open faced helmet is usually used by people who want some protection, alot of comfort and never expect to collide face first into the pavement (the plexiglass is not that tough lol.) Easy to get on and off (not a struggle like a full face). Usually they cost less than full faced helmets.
Both types have the chin straps, of course, to keep the helm on your head.
I know nothing of moped specific helmets though, although I can contribute that I have yet to see a moped rider wear a full faced helmet, although if you want to be origional there you go lol. If you get up to freeway/highway speeds on your moped, full faced is still prob the way to go since it is not really you worried if you are going to turn your own self over onto the road but the concern of drivers who might collide with you. Hence the importance of a full faced helmet.
D.O.T. and SNELL approved full faced helmets are recommended, approved and well tested and I am certain D.O.T. certs are available on open faced helmets as well. However they are only good for one fall as one will see in the information when they buy a helmet. These two certifications are greatly important in saftey concerns since many have seen cheap imitations fail with disasterous results. It is very extensive in the reasons why helms last one fall so I will conclude my contribution.
Take care in your search and good luck.

Extremely Cheap Gas Powered Scooters That Are Fast

Gas powered scooters and mopeds have been around since the turn of the 20th century. Most early versions had step through frames and actually looked like bicycles with motors. Maybe that's because that's essentially what they were. These are what we would probably consider today as mopeds. Back in the 1930's a company called Salsbury Motor Glide created one with an enclosed body and automatic transmission. This body style most resembles what we think of as a scooter today. Make no mistake they work well and were very popular, but times have changed.

Here are some of the fast gas scooters you may want to take a look at.

#1 Vespa
These became popular in post war Italy in the 1940's and continue today to be very popular scooters. They offer multiple models with one of the top ones sporting a 250cc fuel injected engine, capable of 80+ mph.

#2 Honda
They have been in the game a long time, introducing the Super Cub into the US market back in the 1950's. They are still going strong and offer a wide range of scooters. You can't go wrong with a Honda engine. If you include everything they manufacture (lawnmowers, generators, cars, etc..) they produce more engines than any company in the world.

o The 582cc liquid-cooled four-stroke parallel-twin Silver Wing can easily go a 100 mph.
o The Honda Helix, aka Fusion, has atop speed of 72 mph and its available in Japan.

#3 Yamaha
The Yamaha C3, or Vox as it's known in Japan is a small scooter with a top speed of 37 mph. If you want a little more speed you need to jump up the popular Zuma model which can get up into the mid 40's.

#4 Suzuki Scooters
Suzuki has two Burgman models: a 400 and a 650. These are fast and a couple of the more expensive scooters you can expect to find on the market today.

"Fast" does not mean these scooters are not good on fuel. Most of these scooters can easily get between 50-80 miles to the gallon. The fast gas scooter may be a little bit more expensive than the slower 49cc bikes, but hey, you got to have some fun sometime, right? So if you are looking to save a little money on fuel cost these days, but still want to have a little fun, a scooter may be the way to go.
