I am selling this Jc Penny Swinger 2, was supposed to be for my brother. He lost his license and I have my own projects. I took it for a 15 mile ride today and it maxed out at 43.6 mph pretty sure with a little tuning this could easily be a 50mph ride. Seat is a little tall so that could use a little mod. Located in Santa Rosa ca. $650obo local pick up only.
You need a license to ride a ped in Ca?
Apparently. Dude in our crew just found out the hard way. I was under the impression that you didn't but after my homie got a ticket and his Ped impounded. I read the DMV stuff and it is pretty clear that you do. I have my m1 so no worries for me but for half my crew that's another story.
Na!! you don't need a m1,
mopeds – Are exempt from the motor vehicle financial responsibility, driver license, and moped plate requirements (CVC §12804.9).
If you operate a "motorized bicycle" or "moped" is: which meets the definition of CVC §406(b), you:
– Must be 16 years of age or older.
– Must wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet.
– Are exempt from the motor vehicle financial responsibility, driver license, and moped plate requirements (CVC §12804.9).
I just read the link you sent, apparently you didn't. Under the moped section it says you must have either m1 or m2. There is even a picture of a step through there. The new rules for no license or insurance are for electric powered mopeds that dont exceed 20mph. At least in ca. If you can actually find something that proves different that would be rad because my friend us facing some pretty big fines.
I would consider trade for a kited but clean Peugeot 103. Or a nice kitted hobbit pa2. Still trade would have to happen in the bay area.
maybe this could be a loophole.

Good luck!
i want to know more about the santa rosa crew
This seems pretty well priced for Cali? No?
Yeah, got four dudes checking it out tommorow so I think it will be sold.
in Michigan you don`t need a dl but if you have a dl that is suspended then you can`t operate any thing motorized.
no in Michigan you NEED a drivers license or a moped license to operate a moped and they shouldn't let you get a moped license if your drivers license is suspended. I think you can still operate golf carts and lawn mowers in residential streets (the burbs)
Price reduced to $575. Or trade for a nice Peugeot 103.
sold.
I almost bought that thing when it was at $400. Anyway, I'm moving up to Petaluma, anything fun and moped related happening up there?
Didn't run when it was$400:)
Sean, hit me up when you move up and well ride, we'll ride. As far as a moped scene, I have a small crew of dudes I roll with. 2 free spirits, two hobbits, a magnum and a Tsm.
