WHich engine & where - total newbie

Been kinda lurking for a while and think I want to make the jump, however am confused with which engines.

I see references to china engines in the forums as well as a couple manufactures I don't know where to get. Think I probably am looking for a kit, but even that is confusing. 48 cc or 80cc (probably 80).

What is the difference in the manufacturers. First I thought about an 80cc from SpookyTooth for $250, now i see BikeBerry for $150 and BiketoMoped for $299. What is the difference to cause the price fluctuations?

I did awhat I thought was a pretty good search, but if there is a faq or other thread, or even kit supplier I need to look at, please point me there.

Find a Dealer & Review

Go with 48cc if you really want to stay legal. The 80cc kits are more like 70cc and are unmarked so you can always just say they're 48cc.

As for the prices, it seems that most of the kits are the same, and the price is just up to how stingy the dealer wants to be. thatsdax.com has some decent prices as well.
