MOPED ARMY

So did they have hard numbers showing we're worse than Hummers? Because we've talked about this on here a lot, and a number of people have tried to research it, but it seems no concrete evidence is there. It seems to just be an anti-2-stroke thing.

Yes, mile for mile a two-stroke moped is _as_ polluting as an economy car. Statistics making greater or lesser claims have been around for years.

The important thing, though, is the overall fuel consumption, and the usage pattern.

Your moped doesn't launch wars for oil in exotic foreign locales.

Also, look at the mileage on a ped from, say, 1977 (just to pick a random year, totally at random). A moped that's lived a long, long life and carried its owners on hundreds of errands and rallies and rides and bad days has what, 10,000 miles on it? Tops?

Don't try to deny that the shit that comes out of your exhaust pipe stinks. It does, but there are so many other points in favor of a small motorbike.

I agree with Andrew, and think that a moped counts as alternative transportation.

what about that cheesey as all hell moped hybrid that was on here earlier this week?

or a four stroke moped?

lol Well no offense to the environmentalists but we use more fuel now a days to power similar sized cars than 15-20 years ago... My beetle gets 30-35mpg regularly where as my 4 cylinder suzuki sidekick gets 25...So yeah less pollution due to all the pumps and computers and all but uses more gas causing yet more pollution...

Our future is in electric/hydrogen...This is a given...

But until that time I want a god damned new car that gets good fuel economy like the old VW Rabbit Diesel got...or even similar to my old 71 Datsun pickup...

Wrong people, what needs to happen is strategically locate mopeds throughout the vicinity and hinder the progress of the bicycle riders, at the same time sponsor a large van with oil dripping onto the exhaust.

i will blast ur fixi on my solex 200mpg baby, i'd like them to try and tell me my solex pollutes more than a car, especially when I kill the motor and disengage on downhills.

cradle to cradle ppl.

for example a prius is worse in the sustainable sense than a most compact gas cars cuz of manufacturing and disposal of the battery and components.

check this out a bmw diesel 5 series destroys the prius in gas economy. Honestly its about image more than anything, ppl don't actually want to be "green" (whatever that means) they just want to appear so, or do so to the point it doesn't disrupt daily life.

"plus i plant a tree every ten feet i drive.

so i am good"
