Why to Buy a name brand.

So many moped "dealers" in Hawaii have house brands, these include BRAVO, GTX Turbocam, Mangusta, Islander, PRONTO.
Now we are not saying these Moped Brands are bad quality however be cautious. With no Idea who the real manufacturer is it is very hard to get parts in Hawaii or at all. This means that you have to deal with the dealer you bought the moped from, also if they go out of business there is no way to get parts for these mopeds.
Do some research, try to find a company website for BRAVO or GTX Turbocam and you will find that there is no such company.

Mopeds in Hawaii an Update

so recently the Honolulu Advertiser published a story about mopeds citing recent accidents and excessive speeds for reasons the State of Hawaii is forming a panel to look at new moped laws.
Regarding speeding and Accidents. Firstly, There is already a Moped speed limit of 30mph set by the State. It is up to the Police Dept to enforce these speed limits. By creating new laws that require motorcycle endorsements and insurance ect. we will removing this inexpensive environmentally friendly mode of transportation. 99% of all moped drivers follow the laws of Hawaii's roads much like 99% of auto drivers follow Hawaii's road laws. Why is it that we don't then limit motor vehicles to a top speed of 65mph? If someone is going to speed or drive crazy no new law is going to stop them. Rather Have the POLICE do their JOB and enforce the LAWS. Moped Riders stand up for your Rights don't let the Government try and take our Rides away from us.
