So after telling DD she wasn't getting a moped for her 16th birthday last november because it's waaaay too dangerous we are considering changing our minds. She has just got a weekend/summer job which is a zero hours contract but means she can be starting as early 7.15am. Now this is fine on weekdays and saturdays as she can catch the first bus from the bottom of the road and just about make it in on time assuming it shows up , but on a sunday/bank holiday it means I have to give her a lift . Now today she has asked for one again and it does appear to be a possible solution as I will no longer to give her a lift and as it is so early in the morning the roads will be quiet and so hopefully not as dangerous. She will pay for the bike, licence, insurance, tax and fuel but I was just wondering for those of you with a DC with a moped how much would you say you/they paid for the initial bike, insurance and tax? My brother is a mechanic so will be able to check over all that sort of stuff and hopefully find us a deal but just wondering how much we should be expecting to pay for a low powered piece of crap . P.S please keep your horror stories away from this thread!!
