The main thing you have to take into account, though, is the engine size. One of our most popular options when it comes to buying a moped is buying a 50cc moped. Fast but nimble, these are perfect for anyone who is looking for a cheap, affordable moped. Before you take a look at our awesome cheap 50cc mopeds for sale, though, let’s help you make sure you are 100% ready to make a purchase.

What is a 50cc moped?

As the name implies, a 50cc moped is a moped that is powered with a 50cc engine. For beginners, they make a brilliant place for you to begin with. We would recommend that most people begin by buying a brand new scooter 50cc from our store. It’s ideally the best place to begin for a simple, stress-free moped riding experience.

If you are not used to driving a scooter/bike/moped, then you find that their blend of simplicity and personality makes an excellent choice. They really do take the pressure out of learning how to drive.

The main reason why beginners tend to love using a 50cc moped is the speed. At this level, you are capped to a speed of around 30mph. This is what many people choose to go with when they are running their first scooter. Capable of flying up from 0-30mph quite fast, too, these models are not going to feel slow!

What it does do is it will let you master the art of driving such a device. You will be far more likely to be able to handle a 125cc moped, for example, if you are good with a 50cc model. They tend to feel easier to control for various reasons, not least because they are so quick to handle.

Given the speed cap, you would do well to go *too* fast with a 50cc model, making them beginner-friendly.

Why are 50ccs so beginner friendly?

The main reason why is that they are the first vehicle that you could legally drive. At the age of 16, you could apply for your provisional driving license and take your CBT examination. If you can pass your CBT exam, then you will have the skills to drive on the roads with a 50cc moped. You would not have the right to go on a motorway, to drive beyond 28mph, or take a passenger onboard.

However, with a CBT, you have around two years to master the art before either re-applying for the CBT or taking your full test. With a full test, you could in theory take a passenger on a 50cc moped. However, it’s recommended that anyone driving a 50cc should avoid taking passengers until they are experienced. You also can’t ride a 50cc moped on the motorway; regardless of which driving license you hold.

Another big reason why 50cc mopeds are such a good beginner option is the cost. Typically, something in the region of £999 should buy you a quality moped. You can find top quality yet cheap 50cc mopeds for sale at our store here at Direct Bikes. This should help you to easily find a model that you can feel safe driving andfeel confidence in.

One reason why many riders love our 50cc models, too, is the ‘twist and go’ nature of their drive. When you buy a model like this from us, it will be fully automatic. This means no headaches trying to get your head around gearboxes and the like!

Instead, you should always be looking to make acceleration as easy as it can be. With the help of such a twist and go system, you simply just do as the name implies. Twist the handlebars, put on some power, and go!

That’s a big reason why 50cc bikes are so vital for your education.

What matters when choosing from 50cc mopeds for sale?

With so many models to pick from, you might not be sure what actually matters as you make your purchase. While this is not a definitive list of things to consider, we recommend that you take the following queries into account.

You just have to remember that the brand (more on that below) plays a huge role in deciding your cost.

So long as you can pass their credit system, you should be able to get finance. With up to £5,000 borrowable, we can make sure you borrow up the sum of money that you need to buy the mopeds that you were looking for.

What will you use it for?

If you intend on using your moped/scooter for work, then 50cc should be suitable for local jobs like deliveries. If you are intending to go from city to city, though, you might want to look above. Always consider what you will use your moped for first and foremost.
