I`m 16 very soon and need to get around quicker, does anyone know of a 50cc 3 wheeler that can get me around cheaply?
I found this so far (http://www.3wheelers.com/pdcharly.jpg) but I really can't see myself in one of those!! I only have a small budget as most of it goes on guitars and amps!!!!
Any help would be great thanks!!

You're kidding... Right?

or
a bike, in which you will look considerably less of a geek.

Hey I`m always up for a laugh!!
Maybe I should get a scrambler bike, can they take 2 people?

+1 to that!
I wouldn't be caught dead in a three wheeler like that.
When I was 16 I had a 50cc bike. Lemme see if I can dig up a picture of my home grown customized Yamaha.

Thats awesome!! How much did it cost?
I`d love a cool bike like that but most of the ones I have seen have been wimpy rust buckets :P
-
my mate bought himself some chinese chopper kit wen he was 16, and it OWNED. (visually anyways - it was a pussy)
-
I took me tractor test when I was 16, (been a farmer)
and so am legal to drive a quad bike on the road - I would advise this route!
or maybe the tractor if you can't find a quad bike.
grr can't afford car retest
-
what do you consider cheap? old cars are always cheap. i'm 17 and just bought myself a 78 camaro last year. picked it up for $2,000, and its actually pretty nice.

I`m not old enough for a car yet..

Gotta love the UK's Driver Age...
Getting a Quad/motorbike is the best thing to get

You could try this - Start saving now, and by the time you're eligible for a provisonal licence, you should have enough for a course of driving lessons, and if you don't buy any more guitars ( :wink: ) you could well have enough for a half decent first car as well. I know you're after a quick fix, which I totally understand, but I've had a few friends injured (one quite badly) riding scooters and the like - and none of the accidents were their fault. Thought it might be worth mentioning.

I got my first car money sorted luckily. I just hate having to walk everywhere as I`m always late.
-
Get a push bike ;) The advantage to this is you dont have to pay expensive maintenance bills, tax etc, you get fitter, and you can take it off sweet jumps :P :lol:
-
^ everything there is true, but a Moped going over jumps would be more badass than a normal bike
-
Moped or quad, but as my old man told me..........
.........."Son, if it's got tit's or wheels, it's going to be expensive"

Until it breaks :lol:

Moped = CHAV!
Seriously, we have little moped crews in our town who go around on their scooters haha so funny, the noise is the funniest part, i believe it goes something like this: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I've just sent off for my provisional, won't be buying anymore guitar gear for a while, probably selling a bit of it to pay for lessons!
Oh yeah £45 for a drivers license!! what a rip

and if it has both, you're tripping,

In today's money, about 500 Euros..........and alot of elbow grease. It was a rust bucket when I got it.

My previous beast. You could but the 50cc version when you're 16.

Bloody expensive to run though. Mine (125 version though) cost about £500-£600 every 6000km for a service, used nearly as much fuel as my mates Scooby. I also blew the engine (pulling a stoppie) which cost me £1,200 to fix, but then only got me 12 miles on the rebuilt engine.
Absolute hoot when it works though :P
-
hmm... whats the driving age over there?
-
16 for mopeds / 50cc or less
or tractors for that matter
17 for cars (and they keep trying to up it)

theres even an age for mopeds? thats rediculous. in california you can drive at 15! thats a bit young though, i think 16 is the right age.
