Useful Websites for Moped Fanatics


Throughout my process of learning more about mopeds and moped culture, I have found that the following websites and blogs provided me with the most interesting and/or relevant information.  Check it out:

  • Bill Hambleton's Moped Mayhem 50cc Racing Page - Website devoted to moped racing.
  • British Motorcycle Manufacturers -  A detailed listing of manufacturer's histories. (Some manufacturers on the website also made mopeds). 
  • Get Out & Ride Magazine - Blog and independent magazine devoted to moped culture.  Also has links to other blogs. 
  • Handy Bikes USA - From what I have been told, this is the best place to go to get parts for your moped.
  • Moped Archive - Extensive index of moped and moped related articles.
  • Moped Army - This website is pretty much the most valuable resource that I have found on the Internet thus far.  It is chock full or forums, moped maintenance help, and also has its own wiki. 
  • Moped Wiki (Wikipedia) : Useful tool to get started when learning about mopeds.  The moped wiki also provides links to other moped related websites.
  • Moped2 -Website includes many moped related entries, including but not limited to photos, articles, other website links, moped laws by state, and a buy/sell section.
  • 1977 Mopeds - Created by  members of the moped army, this website is an extremely valuable resource for all things moped.  Not only do they have shops across the country, but this site has pretty much everything else you ever wanted to know about mopeds but did not know who to ask.
  • Toronto Mopeds - Moped history, galleries, and much, much more.
