Someone put up a craigslist ad for bartering a few things and it caught my eye. A 2004 Jialing 50cc 2 stroke moped. Normally I'd be against buying another scooter because of all the DMV fees but mopeds don't have to be titled and the registration is cheap in florida.
So I went to look up some info on these things and came up with not much. Anyone heard of these?

It still has to be titled and plated in FL- even if it has pedals. I have the ticket to prove it haha.

Section 320.01(27), Florida Statutes, states, "MOPED" means any vehicle with pedals to permit
propulsion by human power, having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to
travel on not more than three wheels, with a motor rated not in excess of 2 brake horsepower and
not capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed greater than 30 miles per hour on level ground,
and with a power-drive system that functions di
rectly or automatically without clutching or
shifting gears by the operator after the drive system
is engaged. If an internal combustion engine
is used, the displacement may not exceed 50 cubic centimeters.
Mopeds as defined in 320.01(27), Florida Statutes, are NOT titled, per s. 319.20, Florida
Statutes; however, they are registered pur
suant to s. 320.0803(1), Florida Statutes. A
bill of sale, vehicle registration certificate, Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, or an
affidavit from the applicant certifying that he or she is the legal and rightful owner of the
vehicle is required.
Plated yes, titled no.

Just make sure the person at the desk understands this- those tax collector employees are painfully uneducated lol. Are you sure it's a moped? Jialing makes lots of different scooters, mopeds, motorcycles etc. Some people call scooters "mopeds". Very annoying.

I've heard it referred to as a "noped" (no pedals) but also seen folding pedals, and it looks like there are pedals in the pic so I was asking to see if anyone had like manuals or a lineup or something for these scoots.  |

I had one very similar, but it wasn't a Jialing it was a Kinetic. Here's a video of it... I was told it had to be titled at the TC office   |

That's not a moped. A moped has pedals. That thing has foot pegs and a kick starter. It's a small motorcycle. I can see the foot pegs and kick starter in the picture you posted.

Wasn't really sure what they would look like, not familiar with mopeds. Looks like I won't be interested in it then. |
