Then we recommend 50cc engines for newcomers to riding.

If you are new to the idea of driving, then 50cc should be more than enough for you. If you have some skill in driving, and you have already passed your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) exam, then you are in the perfect position to hop on board and try one of our moped scooters 50cc out.

Not sure what model is the right one for you, though? Let’s take a look at this to help you make aneducated choice about what to buy. This should help you to pick out the ideal moped for you.

What is a 50cc moped scooter?

A 50cc moped scooter is just that; a moped that is driven with an engine of around 50cc (cubic centimetres). This lets you know that the engine power is among the smallest that you can get in any kind of driving vehicle. Indeed, any model up to around 50cc in power is going to be known as a moped – it’s a motor-engine powered solution that’s still very much like a normal pedal system.

That’s why so many people choose to go for our 50cc scooters to begin with. They are easier to learn to master and to pick up the way of driving with. When you hop on something like a 125cc engine, it can feel a touch daunting in comparison. If you are not used to driving a powerful vehicle, then starting out on a 50cc engine makes a lot of sense.

Why is 125cc too much?

While our 125cc scooters are in pristine condition and suited to all riding skill levels, we do recommend you start out at 50cc. This is especially the case if you are new to riding. Put simply, 50cc is the suitable choice for beginners down to the speed alone.

Speed is the most important factor of driving. Go too fast, and you can soon lose your confidence. The same goes though if you are going too slow, though!

With a 125cc bike from our collection, you have the potential to reach speeds as high as 60mph. For a new driver, that kind of speed in the vehicle can feel quite daunting. If you are worried that you might be going too fast at 60/70mph, then going for a 50cc model makes sense.

However, be sure to take a look at all of our moped scooters 50cc and above. You might just find that you are more ready than you think to make that step up!

How fast is a 50cc moped scooter?

By comparison, our 50cc models drive at around 30mph in speed. If you are under the age of 17, you will likely be capped at 28mph.At 30mph, you can still cruise around local roads and the like to get used to driving. You will, though, be limited to where you can go with a 50cc moped scooter.

For those looking to drive around their local area, that should be more than quick enough for you. It’s the ideal speed for making sure you can stay safe in pedestrian-heavy areas. At the same time, it’s also useful for taking trips to local areas like residential housing, commercial shopping, or any other area with tight traffic. Thanks to a 50cc, you can easily get in and out of a tight area without much difficulty.

Compare that with a car, and you can see why a 50cc scooter is the ideal choice for getting out and around. With one of our scooters at Direct Bikes, you can find that getting out and about is much easier. Instead of finding it hard to get space in traffic with your car, you can cruise around at a comfortable speed.

That’s why many people love our 50cc moped scooters. They make getting out and about so easy and ensure you can maintain a pace that’s perfect for city riding!

Driving a 50cc moped scooter safely

The first thing we think is important to say is that anyone driving a moped of this size and profile should do so with care. While you can usually go from 0-30mph without too much work being needed, it is not a good idea to leave accelerating to the last minute.

All Direct Bikes scooters are designed to give you awesome acceleration and high quality handling, though. You can read more about all of our bike models on their specific page on our website to get a better idea of their attributes.

Whether you have your CBT or your full license, it would be foolish to drive your scooter without safety in mind. Always be courteous about others on the roads, and never take risks that could put you or someone else in danger. Keep that in mind, and you can find driving to be a much safer endeavour overall.
