Having just started my first job after college I found that the journey to work was the worst part. Having to walk 15 minutes to the train station and waiting for a train that was usually extremely full. Some days it was hard to even get on and I never used to get a seat. I was often just pleased if the train turned up on time. I seemed to be paying a load on money for a terrible and unreliable service. Then once work was finished it was back up to the train station to get on a train that was every bit as full as the train in the morning.

Then a friend of mine came round on his new 50cc scooter. I was really impressed but didn’t think I had the money to buy one for myself. Then he told me that the 50cc scooters which I may add could also be called a 50cc moped was actually quite a cheap moped. You can get them from any moped shop. Well I had to check this out for myself so I went around every moped shop in the area and also typed cheap mopeds into a internet search engine and found that he was absolutely correct. A cheap moped would only set me back a few hundred pounds which once I then gave up travelling on the train I could save in no time at all. I wouldn’t have to walk to and from the train station on the way to work.

I found a good looking moped shop online and ordered my 50cc moped which was delivered amazingly quickly. I also got my provisional licence and in just a few weeks I was riding to and from work. It actually worked out not only cheaper but quicker as there was no walking or waiting for trains anymore. I was crammed onto a train with hundreds of other people.

I managed to work out I was saving myself about £50 a month which would pay back the price of the scooter in less than a year. I was impressed with this moped shop because they had such a wide range of makes and models and every colour anyone could ever want. I got a red coloured one as that’s my football team’s colour. Never before had I thought that a cheap moped could make me so happy or have such a huge impact on my life. Its fantastic. Next year I may go and get a 125cc scooter. I’ve already seen one I like at the moped shop I went to.

Now not only do I have the benefits of travel to and from work but on weekends me and a few friends go riding together which gives us all a feeling of real freedom. Its good to get out and about and its amazingly good fun. I would recommend to anyone to consider buying one. Just look into it buy going to your local moped shop or by looking online. You will be amazed.
