Mopeds
I cannot recall where I heard this, but I was of the understanding that moped registration is relatively simple and not expensive. We have a UK registered moped and was wondering how we would register it here, or if anyone had any experience as to what the process might be.
Many thanks

Re: Mopeds
I thought they didn't need to be registered, hence the lack of number plates. I think you do need insurance though. I can find out a more definite answer for you shortly.

Re: Mopeds
I asked a Facebook friend about the registration and insurance and he said:
"We've just bought a couple of mopeds and you do need insurance, cost for a 50cc moped was a shade over 4,000 huf per annum.
But it is dependent on the power out put."

For a vehicle to fit within this category it has to be powered with a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) motor, and can only have a maximum designed speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). It can have 2, 3 or 4 wheels, if the vehicle has a covered passenger area such as a moped car, e.g.: (The Aixam micro car) wearing a motorcycle helmet is optional, otherwise it is mandatory, and the failure to wear one can be fined by the police. To drive a moped one needs to obtain a M ("moped") type European license, which one can get if you they are over the age of 14. Because mopeds are inexpensive compared to other forms of motorized transport, and the running expenses are low (the third-party insurance is only 2000 Ft-12 $- 8 €), and since they can be driven after obtaining any form of license, they have become quite popular in larger cities. Vehicles registered as mopeds cannot carry passengers (even if they have space for one) and they cannot use highways (however they can use bicycle roads at a limited speed of 20 km/h (12 mph)). Their maximum allowed speed on any road is 40 km/h (25 mph).

Re: Mopeds
Thank you all for this information - very much appreciated.
I recall someone mentioned about getting the insurance from the post office - is this the case?
