CHINESE MOPED WARRANTY SERVICE

Where can you take that Chinese Moped you bought online for warranty work? Or where can you take a Chinese Moped or Scooter that you bought locally if the dealer you bought it from can't make it work and it's still under warranty?

According to Macarena Baez, the Service Manager at Moped City, Moped City performs warranty work on almost every brand of Chinese Moped.

In addition, Moped City has one of the lowest hourly service rates in the Lowcountry, and is well known for repairing Vintage and Modern Vespa and Lambretta scooters.

SOUTH CAROLINA MOPED PLATES

In South Carolina, the seller of a Moped is required by State Law to attach a metal identification plate to each moped without pedals.... This plate must be designed by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

This means that the plastic "novelty" moped plates people are buying from local dealers on craigslist for $10 are illegal. The dealer who sold you the moped is required by law to attach an approved metal South Carolina moped plate to the moped.

It is unlawful for a person to operate a moped without pedals upon the public highways and streets of this State without displaying the metal identification plate which must be attached to the vehicle. A person who does not have an official South Carolina metal moped tag on his or her moped is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than two hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days.

So riding that moped with the illegal plastic Kinkos plate that the local dealer sold you is a crime. Did he tell you that when he took your $10?

If you did not get a legal metal Moped plate when you bought your moped, you can demand one from the dealer you bought it from. It is the law.

Demand the Legal Tag.

BUSTED

There is a crackdown going on in the Lowcountry. The Police are actively pursuing people riding mopeds. If you are on a 150cc Scooter tagged as a Moped, and you are pulled over going 50, there is a good chance it will be towed. When you get it back, you will be required to register it as a motorcycle, obtain motorcycle insurance, a motorcycle license, and pay personal property tax.
They are cracking down on just about everyone going over 35 on a moped right now. In Hanahan they have written tickets for 33 MPH,
The Police are also pulling people over to run VIN numbers. So keep a copy of your proof of ownership on you at all times.
If you are going more than 30 MPH on a moped, and you have all the paperwork that says it is a legal moped, South Carolina can still require you to register it as a Motorcycle, insure it, and only ride it with a valid motorcycle license. That is the law.
If you don't have a moped tag on your moped, many officers will pull you over for that. The law states that "It is unlawful for a person to operate a moped without pedals upon the public highways and streets of this State without displaying the metal identification plate which must be attached to the vehicle."
Those plastic tags you buy for $10 on craigslist and the internet are ILLEGAL.
The crackdown is mostly confined to North Charleston, and Berkeley County, but from what is going on behind the scenes, it appears to be spreading.
