I just grabbed an old scooter that was collecting dust in a friend's garage. He didnt know anything about it so he let me have it and I researched it until I found what it was; A Honda Spree. So here I am!
I hope to rebuild/restore this thing and learn something new about engines/auto-crafting in the process.

I wasn't being serious... Although a scooter and a moped are 2 different things.

Two or three wheels and street leagal, yes we call it a moped.
If the pocket bike is street legal, yes, it would be registered as a moped in michigan.
search northren michigan craigslist for "moped" and see what you find.

search for scooter, and you find this crap

Yes exactly!
When I search CL have to seach moped, scooter and spree.
I have a friend who calls his yamaha razz a "spree" all the time.
I have found good deals on elites that were listed as sprees
