Nancy,
 
My advice would be to purchase a moped/scooter from a major manufacturer, i.e. honda, kawasaki, etc. because of the availability of parts, etc.  I had an off-the-wall bike once couldn't find parts and no one could work on it.
 
This is a scooter 49 cc from Honda as an example--don't believe it requires a licenses.....http://powersports.honda.com/scooters/model.asp?ModelName=Ruckus&Mod elYear=2007&ModelId=NPS507&w=819&h=624

Puch or Peugeot, both made nice mopeds.

My advice - keep the shiney side up!
 
Don't think Harley has made the "Topper" for quite a while.

If the "Arrow" moped is Tomos....should be okay.  They've been around awhile (the brand).

I know this dealer/friend, he sells SunL.  His prices are great, and the parts are easy to get.  We are getting my daughter a 4-wheeler for x-mas.  350 dollars for a 90cc.  Go with the least expensive, and spend your real money on a Harley V-Rod.

Gopeds are pretty awesome.  My 16 year-old who just got his permit loves his b-day present, a GSR-Sport.  It goes 21 mph and gets him all around town.  It's not quite a moped, but it works and it is 'cool' with the other kids.  It only cost about $500.
