Re: Ahoy hoy!

I disagree. Read the manual. Study the controls.

Fire it up. Duck walk it 50 feet, drop it into first, let out the clutch and go for a ride. Ideally there is an empty parking lot nearby. If you can ride a moped, you can ride a GZ. Just stick to light to no traffic roads for the first few miles. Avoid hills.

I rode mine the first day I got it, I hadn't been on a moped in 30 years and I was fine. Make sure you understand how to shift the first three gears, wear a helmet and the other gear, keep your speed under 20 til you get the hang of it. Watch out for the tailpipe (It gets hot and will burn you if you touch it.)

Have fun.

EDIT: OOPS, just re read that you have no license. Get your permit or whatever you need to practice first!
