Brought this home a few days ago. Today was an absolutely perfect Fall day to ride around and test it out. The past few days it had been a little rainy, and I didnt want to chance anything.
It is a 2006 model TNG Venice 49.5cc moped. There are a lot of things that I was surprised this little guy had. It has a locking gas cap and under seat storage......which is perfect for a helmet or for other goods. It has a nice little rack on the back to strap things to. I would like to borrow a gps to really see what this thing can do. I drove it to Best Buy (not to work, but to check schedules and buy a few things) and when I was really going, the speedometer was maxed out. I pegged it at 40mph which is the max on the gauge, but I am sure I was going slightly faster. When on even ground I max out at about 38-40mph. I plan to drive it to and from work when weather permits and to and from the girlfriends house. I estimate that in the summer it will save me 2/3 gallons a day if not more. This moped has only 60 some odd original miles (the odometer is in kilometers) on it, and should get me 75+ mpg if not more. After some reading I have learned that some of these rigs can get upwards of 80 to 90mpg.
