Gas Mopeds

If you are considering purchasing a moped, you may notice that there are a few different types. Gas mopeds use gasoline as opposed to electricity as its source of power. Gas mopeds are ideal for those who live in cities or need something to get them around town inexpensively. Here is some advice on how to choose a gas moped that is right for you.

First determine your budget. Gas mopeds can range in price depending on if they are purchased used or new. Prices range from several hundred dollars to several thousand. So, no matter what your price requirements are, you will be able to find something.

Beware of mopeds that seem too inexpensive. By searching for a moped based solely on its price, you run the danger of purchasing something that is substandard or broken. You may want to research the model, manufacturer, and any defects that the brand has been known to have before making the purchase.

Once you decide on which gas moped you would like to purchase, you may want to shop around for the best prices. Some people find their mopeds based solely on price; others would like to purchase a specific brand or model. If you do your research, you will find the best prices.

Also understand that different states and cities have different requirements for use, insurance, and licenses. Make sure you contact your local motor vehicle office to make sure you understand all the rules. They may have a minimum speed requirement, require a special license, make your wear a helmet, or purchase insurance. They may also have different safety requirements.

Gas mopeds are an inexpensive transportation alternative. You can use them to commute, run errands, or go for leisurely drives through the surrounding countryside. Whatever your reasons for wanting one, with a little research you are sure to find the best deals.

Tata launches Rs 1 lakh car, Nano !

Tata Motors Ltd, India's top vehicle maker, on Thursday unveiled the world's cheapest car, the Nano, which will be priced at 100,000 rupees ($2,500).

Following are comments on the car from industry executives and people at the Auto Expo in New Delhi, where it was unveiled.

Jagdish Khattar, Former Managing Director, Maruti Suzuki:

"The car is good to look at. There is a space in the market between two-wheelers and the 800 (Maruti's small car). It will be a success if they deliver what they promised. And I see no reason why they can't."

Ramesh Suri, Chairman, Subros:

"The best thing is that they have kept the price at levels promised at concept stage. It is good to look at. I can't say about the driving experience as I have not taken a trial."

Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director of Maruti SuzukI India LTD (speaking before the unveiling): "We cannot make a cheaper car. We don't know how to make a 1-lakh car unless we sacrifice something. We won't go below the 800 in our product line-up."

Maruti Suzuki's mini 800, priced at nearly double the Tata car, was the cheapest in the market. Asked about the impact of the Tata car on Maruti's sales, Nakanishi said: "There may be some impact."

Anand Mahindra, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra LTD (speaking before the unveiling):

"I think it's a moment of history and I'm delighted an Indian company is leading the way."

Venu Srinivasan, Chairman & Managing Director, TVS Motor CO:

"It is fantastic, outstanding engineering. It helps redefine the sector in the country. It has established new grounds."

P. Sam, group head, Marketing and Sales, Yamaha Motor India Sales PVT LTD:

"The 1-lakh rupee car is not going to impact our potential customers. Our customers would buy our products for the sheer joy of riding."

Onkar Kanwar, Apollo Tyres LTD:

"I congratulate Tata. He has delivered what he promised."

Ashok Singh, Constable, Delhi Police:

"It is a dream come true. I look forward to buying that car. My wife will be really happy."
