Hawaii by Moped - A Better Way to Travel

Whether you are a tourist or a resident, the Hawaiian islands are a beautiful place to explore by automobile. Unfortunately, factors like high cost, areas of heavy traffic, and other realities of travel in Hawaii make it difficult and expensive to get around using common transportation methods such as cars or the bus system. Luckily, an alternative form of travel has become increasingly popular in the last few years. Learn why mopeds are becoming the vehicle of choice for many islanders and tourists in Hawaii.

Let’s face it – Hawaii has gorgeous weather all year round, panoramic views, and is pretty easy to navigate because the islands only have a few main roads – roll down your windows and you’ve got a driver’s paradise. The downside is that gas and vehicle prices are expensive (what isn’t expensive in Hawaii?), the populated areas are often laden with traffic, and if you want to hop islands it’s next to impossible to bring your car along for the ride.

Rather than travel by bus, which has an inflexible schedule and limited area of service, or by car, which is expensive to rent, buy, maintain, and fuel, Hawaii tourists and residents are finding that a different form of transportation might be the best way to get around the Hawaiian islands. The unfavorable economic situation in recent years has also increased the need for more affordable means of transportation. Because of these and other reasons, more Hawaiians are realizing the benefits of traveling by moped – a number that is increasing every year.

Mopeds combine the flexibility of driving a car with the resourcefulness of taking a bus. They take advantage of all of the positive aspects of Hawaiin travel, such as the fantastic weather, gorgeous scenery, and short driving distances. In addition, they counteract most of the negative aspects of driving in Hawaii, namely the high cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle on the islands, and the ability to zoom through heavy traffic that is simply not possible in a car.

The portability of a moped is also important when living on or visiting the islands. A moped is much easier (and cheaper) to load onto a boat, ferry, or even a plane for inter-island travel. The cost of owning a moped is quickly reimbursed after taking into account fees such as insurance, fuel, maintenance and repair, hauling fees if you plan on taking you vehicle off the island, or rental fees if you decide to rent a vehicle. Obviously, there are many perks, both monetary and experiential, to traveling by moped.
