What is The Top Speed Of a 50cc Moped?
Thinking about buying a 50cc moped? Then it pays to know what kind of speed that you can do. You could set out to buy a 50cc moped expecting it to have you doing a speed of 50mph, for example. At Direct Bikes, we regularly deal with customers who are note quite sure what is the top speed of a 50cc moped. If you are in this position, then let us show you exactly what a 50cc moped can do in terms of the top speed. It’s actually quicker than some might assume!
What is the top speed of a 50cc moped?
Typically, our 50cc mopeds can reach a top speed of 30 miles per hour. We believe that 30mph is more than fast enough for a 50cc moped. The main reason why we have capped the speed at 30mph is for both safety and for comfort. You see, with a 50cc moped you are riding extremely quickly – even at ‘only’ 30mph.
Given that our models are aimed at those who are living in towns or driving in cities, this makes a lot of sense. That top speed is going to ensure that you can ride easily around towns, cities, villages etc.
It is, though, at the same time, going to ensure that you can spend more time driving carefully. With a top speed like this, you can accelerate and decelerate without much issue at all. This allows you to easily watch and pick your ideal speed as you go through your day.
For riders who are looking to stay local, a speed of 30mph is more than enough. Most of the time, you cannot even go faster than 30mph in areas where a 50cc moped would realistically work well.
Where is 30mph not fast enough?
A motorway is simply too fast for something like a 30mph top speed to be enough. In turn riding a 50cc moped on the motorway is illegal. So, don’t take your 50cc on a motorway.
With this in mind, we recommend that you keep that 50cc moped to driving around your local city. This is going to be much easier for you for the most part, ensuring that you can drive without any of the usual discomfort. It’ll also help you to feel more confident as you know that you are driving somewhere that your vehicle is 100% suited to doing.
If you keep this in mind, then you should find it much easier to drive around at 30mph. With this being your top speed, it would pay dividends to get used to driving at such a pace.
