Moped mania (paperwork)

**tjakazulu** · #1 30 Jan 2003

Hi all,
This may sound strange, but i'm planning to cross the middle east by 50cc, european-moped :-) (no, there's nothing with your eyes: 50CC!!)..
I was wondering if there's anybody who can tell me if a carnet de passage is needed for these vehicles. The countries i'de like to visit are Tusesia, Lybia, Egypt, Jordania and Syria..

I also heard that you can cross some countries with a temporary import document(?)...Is this true? And what does such a thing cost?

Hi!

Good question,i would like to hear an answer on that.

How the surtain countries define a moped,
for an xample,in my country a moped(enything under 50cc) is NOT consider'd for a motor vehicle,but an 'bicycle with engine help'
so one can import it (with note to custums officers)and can stay for 60 days in the country with no obligations,and when one leaves the country,he reports to costums that the vehicle is beeing exported,with no fees or enything!
Like temporarly import of laptops,cameras,etc..one just reports valuebles to costums,and report export on exit!That simple!

So,i was wondering,since in China foreners cant drive there own vehicles(with out lots money for escort by officials with a jeep and everything),can one do it on a <50cc,and generaly how other country's regulate that???

cheers
