I have a moped that is under 50CC and I heard I need a drivers license to drive in in Missouri. Contrary to this I have always heard that I don't need one.


Answer
MOPED DRIVERS NEED A DRIVER LICENSE
To drive any motorized bicycle such as a moped on the public streets, you
must have a valid driver license. Licensing for a scooter or moped depends on whether the vehicle meets the definition of a motorized bicycle. The Missouri statute definition of a motorized bicycle is as follows:

"Any two-wheeled or three-wheeled device having an automatic transmission and a motor with a cylinder capacity of not more than fifty (50) cubic centimeters, which produces less than three (3) gross brake horsepower, and is capable of propelling the device at a maximum speed of not more than thirty (30) miles per hour on level ground."

A motorized bicycle does not have to be registered with the Missouri Department of Revenue. However, you must have a valid driver license (though no motorcycle endorsement is required).

Missouri statute does not require a helmet to be worn when operating a motorized bicycle. Please contact your local law enforcement agencies for any county/municipal codes that deal with helmets and motorized bicycles.

Keep in mind that no motorized bicycle may be operated on any public thoroughfare located within this state that has been designated as part of the federal interstate highway system.

What is the best bike I can buy for under $350 in your opinion?




aight


I have up to $350 dollars and I am looking for a mountain or hybrid bicycle.
f#%$ing bike people... I dont want to spend $2,000 on a bike...my car is barely worth more than that!



Answer
EDIT: I put this at the top of the page so you see it- NEITHER OF THOSE BIKES I RECOMMENDED ARE OVER $400.

Not $4000, not $2000, not even $1000. f#%$ing people that don't read answers after asking questions...

Maybe my answer was too long and it confused you. I'm sorry if I used words that were too long.



Let's get our definitions straight and maybe that'll get you your answer right away.

Mountain bikes are for riding on trails... you drive it to a site, take it off the car, ride it. When you are done you put it back on the car and take it home. A hybrid is a slower, more comfortable version of a road bike that may be taken anywhere there is a paved surface (including finely ground stone)... think of molasses compared to high fructose corn syrup of a road bike.

I am making the assumption that you are thinking of an ALL TERRAIN bike or hybrid. An all terrain bike is intended for a 50/50 mix (or so) of on road/offroad riding up to rain rutted dirt roads or worn trails. The reason I think this is what you want is that mountain bike pricing STARTS at about $700 and go up while ATB pricing starts at about $250 and end about $700.

Enough of the gobbledegoop. Regarding an ATB, you would be very hard pressed to find a better specced bike than a Diamondback Response. This model has been in the lineup since at least 1998 and has always been a very good value. As far as a hybrid you should, at the very least, consider a Diamondback Insight 1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NXO62M/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1/183-5148203-8543663?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_r=0WEBV2MDFV98DM7T4HF2&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_i=B002LFRTTM which is available from amazon.com.

BEFORE I GET JUMPED ON, I am not backing too far away from recommending that amateurs NOT buy bikes online with the following:

Prior to ordering a bike online, get fitted to a similar model from a bike shop. Order the bike, then bring the bike IN THE BOX to the same shop for building. The labor will be about $50 and worth every penny. Then, go back to the shop for anything you might need such as helmets, bottle cages, fenders, pumps, and extra inner tubes. You'll both be winners.

The reason I am even suggesting this is because I have supreme confidence in the quality of Diamondback and Raleigh products. I don't think any other company is as careful about what goes in the box.
