Cheap motoring can be driven on a full uk car licence and if you passed before 2001 you are classed as having a full moped licence so can also carry a passenger. I do a 28 mile round trip 5 days a week (total 140 miles) for less than £8 in fuel, that is still cheaper than 1 days bus fare.
With fresh new aesthetics and a higher technical specification than its predecessors, the all-new ‘City Plus’ has been designed for riders of all ages who want a smart modern scooter for work, college or leisure.
The City Plus is powered by KYMCO’s ultra-efficient, and reliable, 2-stroke 50cc engine, which compared to 4-stroke models gives the scooter improved acceleration and performance off the mark. This makes it an attractive choice for riders looking for a spritely but economical scooter, with the City Plus able to achieve in excess of 100 miles per gallon.
For rider safety, KYMCO has given the City Plus a new 14” rear wheel and a longer suspension for increased stability when navigating around bumpy, busy roads. The saddle has also been ergonomically redesigned for comfort and to facilitate increased storage under the seat. New folding footrests have been added too.
A nice practical new feature is the fuel cap being positioned on the front of the City Plus to make refuelling the 7 litre capacity tank even easier. There is also a useful 12 Volt accessory outlet for charging mobile devices, lockable under seat storage and updated digital instrumentation panel.
With new LED lights, a more angular design that is accentuated by the light matt blue / black colourway and aluminium rims, the City Plus has been cleverly redesigned by KYMCO, to reflect the needs of modern town and city riders – performance, style and practicality.

Not if you passed your car test before 2001. If you passed after 2001 then you need to sit a cbt to validate the moped part of your car licence, this will then give you full moped entitlement, no L plates required and you can carry a pillion.
If you do not have a car licence then it is sit a cbt, you then must display L plates till you pass a test and you are not allowed to carry a pillion.

If your budget is a little tighter they also do this agility for £1199. Not as nice but a very reliable and economical 4 stroke gy6 engine, as used and made for Honda equivalent. This was my last commuter for 6 years and never let me down. http://www.kymco.co.uk/kymco/new/bikes/Scooters/2013agility50.htm#.WEwmyb2nzMI
Kymco aren't a non brand at all. They're very popular mopeds/scooters and have been around a few years. One of the better brands around, and they've worked with both Kawasaki and BMW.

Are you sure you still don't have to do a CBT before you ride this ?

If you passed post 2001 you do. Stupid really as anyone before this can hop on a bike with no training at all, yet everyone else has to take a test!

never heard of the Make but I think I'd rather pay an extra few hundred for Peugeot, Piaggio or Honda.

Having said that, reviews for the Make seem average so better than the Chinese crap you get.

Peugeot and piaggio are now made in China, Kymco are Taiwanese and is one of the last few quality moped manufacturers.

Hey man, you obviously know absolutely hee haw about bikes. Kymco are well respected. Been riding bikes for well over 40 years and I would have no problem buying this make. Most, if not all, of the bike manufactures you mentioned have their bikes made in China.
Edit. Feck all wrong with Chinese bikes as well. I have one, check my username, cost me 800 quid brand new and has never missed a beat. I use it on crappy days when I don't want my main bike to get manky.

You 100% have to have a CBT to ride a moped, no matter if you have a full UK driving license or not. And I'm sure you can't carry a passenger either.

Maybe some are but the standard of motorcycle is better. Predominantly they are made in France and Italy.
When I say Chinese scooters I'm talking about the no named build it yourself ones.

Frankly, you would be stupid to ride anything without doing at least CBT.
I also think you would have to be mad to use a 50cc they are so slow that they are dangerous. And as to using one to carry a pillion...

If you passed car test before Feb 2001 no cbt needed.but why you would want to carry a passenger on a 50cc moped is beyond me.just take full a1 license and get a yamaha r1 like me.
