There is a crackdown going on in the Lowcountry. The Police are actively pursuing people riding mopeds. If you are on a 150cc Scooter tagged as a Moped, and you are pulled over going 50, there is a good chance it will be towed. When you get it back, you will be required to register it as a motorcycle, obtain motorcycle insurance, a motorcycle license, and pay personal property tax.
They are cracking down on just about everyone going over 35 on a moped right now. In Hanahan they have written tickets for 33 MPH,
The Police are also pulling people over to run VIN numbers. So keep a copy of your proof of ownership on you at all times.
If you are going more than 30 MPH on a moped, and you have all the paperwork that says it is a legal moped, South Carolina can still require you to register it as a Motorcycle, insure it, and only ride it with a valid motorcycle license. That is the law.
If you don't have a moped tag on your moped, many officers will pull you over for that. The law states that "It is unlawful for a person to operate a moped without pedals upon the public highways and streets of this State without displaying the metal identification plate which must be attached to the vehicle."
Those plastic tags you buy for $10 on craigslist and the internet are ILLEGAL.
The crackdown is mostly confined to North Charleston, and Berkeley County, but from what is going on behind the scenes, it appears to be spreading.

MOPED MEDIC OPENS A STORE
We received the following press release from Moped Medic:
Check out the Best Two and Four Stroke E.ton, Keeway, Jonway and Gorilla Motor Works Mopeds at Moped Medic. Unlike the mopeds everybody and his brother is selling out of his garage and on the internet, you can Google any of these brands and see that they are real brands and people all over the world rely on them for dependable basic transportation, with the same parts support you get from the best of Japan.
Keeway does most of their R&D and design in Italy, uses proven Japanese technology, and offers one of the longest parts AND labor warranties in the industry.
Eton builds their popular Beamer Moped in Taiwan. E-ton is an OEM parts provider for Ford, Volvo, and Renault. Eton provides Yamaha with ATVs and other products. There are plenty of E-Ton mopeds out there with well over 20,000 miles on them. We have one with almost 10,000 miles that we use to ride from Mt. Pleasant to the Store, and despite being stolen and recovered twice, it has never had any mechanical breakdown issues.
Jonway and Gorilla Motor Works, our entry level mopeds, both come with a one year Limited Factory Warranty.
Unlike the cheap mopeds you find at other dealers and online, our entry level moped provider uses Mikuni and TeiKei carburetors, and Gates drive belts, and builds Mopeds and Scooters for Peugeot and Kriedler.
The best mopeds in Charleston start at just $899, with a full tank of gas and fresh oil, and unlike everybody else, we don't hit you up for freight, assembly or any other hidden fees.
Complete Parts and Service departments to keep your moped up and running, no matter where you bought it.
Moped Medic is not the biggest dealer, just the one that sells the best mopeds in Charleston. Check us out on the web at http://mopedmedic.com
