Milan Retro Motor Scooter

$1398 49cc Milan Retro Moped Gas Scooter Style: Moped Vendor: Neo Scooters The Milan 49cc Gas Scooter is a retro moped that comes fully equipped with safety features such as dual mirrors, turn signals, Hi-Lo beam headlight, speedometer and accurate handling suspension. Click on the picture and take a closer look at the detailing on this moped. The speedometer in particular caught my eye; bold and chromed. I liked the way the directionals are imbedded right into the fairing for a smooth look, nicely set off by the large Cyclops headlight and reflectors. The chrome cover on the exhaust pipe nicely sets off the trim on the front leading link shock absorbers. The ABS scratch resistant body is painted in one of four different colors. This is the perfect moped for someone with a sense of style looking to same some money on gas. |

$1498 Qing Qi 6V Retro Gas Powered Moped Style: Moped Vendor: Neo Scooters
Harvey's Choice!
What a difference a $100 makes. Compare this beautiful moped to the Milan Retro and tell me you wouldn't skip a dinner out to land this one.
For openers you get a four stroke engine. Not sure what that means, then visit our article Four Stroke Gas Scooter Engines; Understanding the Differences. This is one of the few four stroke moped on my site. It's quieter, smoother, takes gas right from the pump without mixing in the oil, and has a purr instead of a rasp from the exhaust.
You also step up to a disc brake in the front with this model moped. Not only does it provide easier braking, but it also looks sharp. Click here to see the colors that this moped comes in.
The Qing Qi 6V Retro moped has the genuine Italian design similar to a Vespa, and note the nice touch on the sissy seat for the second rider. I love these mopeds that have the huge surfboard size platform for your feet.
Note the treatment of the fairing and headlight; a very sleek look. Even the dual mirrors look good on this moped. For the money this would be the moped I would buy. |

Style: Moped Vendor: Neo Scooters
This moped reminds me of something the police would use in Florence, Italy. Big on style with a top speed of 50 Mph. This is one of the heaviest mopeds I represent, weighing in at 207 pounds.
To handle that weight you get a front disc brake to compliment the drum in the back. It also looks like this moped reverts over to the traditional sliding tube shock absorbers in the front. You get full electronics and an anti-theft locking steering column as well.
Suitable for two adult riders, this is the ultimate moped for style and fuel efficiency. |

If there was a scene that required a moped instead of a Harley in the Terminator film series this would be the casting choice. You really need to click on the small picture I have here to go and see the bigger detailed pics.
In particular note the trim that defines the "shark nose" moped design in the front. I can't quite make out the front shock absorbers , but they look fairly high tech as well. This moped looks like it's already hitting it's top speed of 50 Mph even when it is standing still.
You also get the four stroke engine. To read the review of the only other 4 stroke moped that I represent click here to see the Qing Qi 6V Retro Gas Powered Moped.
If I set aside my obvious preference for the Retro Mopeds for a minute and compare this moped to the Qingqi 10A Moped I would have to say that I would probably not spend the extra $250 to get the St. Croix. The four stroke moped (The St. Croix) is attractive, but not worth $250 to me. I still get the disc brakes, all the instrumentation, same top speed, and a great looking moped in the Qingqi 10A Moped. |
