Mopeds Coming To Pa
In Pennsylvania a new motor vehicle code defines mopeds as motorized bicycles with operable pedals. Mopeds must have under 1.5 horsepower, engines under 50 CCs, automatic transmission, and top speed limited to 25 mph. They require $5 yearly registration, six month safety inspections, and operators must hold a valid PA driver's license. Restrictions apply to multi lane highways and roads over 40 mph. Prices range from $350 to $550 with high fuel efficiency. The MBA cites projected 1977 moped sales of about 150,000 nationwide.
