Guidelines to Buying a Moped in Hawaii



Being involved in the Hawaii moped industry I have created a few guidelines that you should take into consideration before purchasing a moped in Hawaii.

1. The Moped Parts Supply - Heaven forbid you get into an accident, but if you do, can they help get you and your moped back on the road.

Note: You should also take into consideration how much parts cost and where they get them from. If they are out of stock and they have to order them from the manufacturer, which is most likely overseas, then you will be waiting a long time and should probably invest in a bus pass.

2. The Moped Manufacturer - I have yet to come across a moped worth buying from China. Taiwan, Japan and Europe made mopeds are pretty solid though.

3. Warranty - A manufacturer warranty means that the problems with your moped are between you and the manufacturer, not who you bought it from. Don't count on any help. Look for companies who offer in-house warranties on their mopeds.

4. Due your due diligence - Shop around and make an educated decision. Research the possibilities and remember price should not be the main factor.

5. Don't judge a book by its cover - Just because it looks pretty does not mean it is the best on the market.

6. Invest in a Lock and Use it Every Time - People do steal mopeds in Hawaii. Every time you leave the moped lock it! Please save yourself some grief and a lot of stress.

The Moped market in Hawaii is not really big. Unlike a bicycle company where they sell 30 bikes a day, a moped dealer might average 3 or 4 sales a day, if they are lucky. Which means that this is a small business probably ran by the owner and a few employees. So you can't just trust any one you find. Follow step 4 and you will be allright. Good luck!

Hawaiian Style Rentals presents Hawaii Moped Sales

I have posted some new pictures on our Hawaii Moped Photo Gallery of the bikes we are going to sell. We mainly offer used, because we are constantly renewing our fleet. Each bike comes with a 6 month unlimited mileage in-house warranty and one free check up. I only resell the SYM, because even used they are more dependable than any other new moped on Oahu. With a consistent affordable parts line and the Honda Dio motor the SYM DD50 is the best bang for your buck! Contact us for any questions about purchasing your moped in Honolulu.

Hawaii Moped Photo Gallery

I have been playing with our galleries on Hawaii Moped and Hawaii Harley. I am very pleased with how user friendly it has been and believe it is going to be very useful for all of our clients. Now they can see the mopeds they are going to get before they get to Hawaii. I also posted some action shots of places you can go while in Hawaii, so people can see what they should expect.

I am also playing with the moped tours. By the end of this week we will be able to book self-guided tours online. They are going to be a lot of fun and will help us diversify a little. They are nice, because you can you can do it at your leisure and take it at your own pace.

Overall, I am pleased with how the site is coming along! Check out our Hawai Moped Photo Gallery and our Hawaii Harley-Davidson Gallery! If you have any cool photos you want us to post just send them on over!

-Aloha
