Answer 1

whats that ******** going on about ^^ - he asked what he had to do to ride 175cc moped not the definition of a moped and a bloody scooter. go home.

anyway mate. basically what someone up there^^ said:

CBT

theory

direct access

sory but it bugs me when people do that :D

Answer 2

Prepare yourself for the inevitable accident?

Answer 3

You can't buy a 175cc moped.  This is because ALL mopeds are less than 50cc (legal definition).

What you are referring to is a 175cc scooter - a scooter is a style, a moped is an engine size.  The confusion is a common misconception for beginners.

Currently, no manufacturers offer 175cc scooters, anyway...

Answer 4

You should watch a lot of product video that show

features in-use.  See all of provided source to see if

the new information puts scooter in new perspective.

Answer 5

for that engine size you will have to pass 3 tests...

1-cbt,every one has to take it,then u can ride a 125cc bike /scooter.

2-theory test

3-full bike test,do direct accsess corse and you can ride any size bike once passed

Answer 7

I would advise not to buy a scooter/moped.  I hired a bike for my test and lessons for the instructor.  

When I passed my test, I then bought a Ducati Monster 600cc which was restricted to 33BHP, it looks alot nicer than scooter/moped...and sounds so much more sweeter.....

GO ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT A BIG BIKE!!!!
