Moped rego rules?

So you do have to do the VIN process, but it is still relatively painless for this class of vehicle.

I did an imported Yamaha Jog thru LTNZ, and I would not describe it as painless - more like 3rd degree.
Apparently it is much easier to use the AA than LTNZ.
You are right though, that it gets worse with bigger CC vehicles!

As a result of some of the absolute crap sold on trade me and the like, which barely qualified as a machine, but regardless which was stuffed on our roads registered as a moped, the NZTA has decided that Mopeds are no longer VIN exempt.

Thanks very much to the few greedy cunts who sold dangerous crap we all get an extra set of hoops.

That's just passing the ... "not my fault" ... buck ... Those who ride absolute crap without (a) checking it is safe before using it for extended periods of time. And (b) those that ride absolute crap knowing full well its is crap, without (any intention of) getting anything fixed ... that needs fixed.

It's thanks to those lazy pricks ... any changes to legislation are made in this regard. I have heard that WoF checks could be changed to 12 month periods for all vehicles ... but if the vehicle fail rate increases ... it either wont happen .... Or ... will be changed back to 6 months. The number of vehicles issued tickets by the donut munchers for unsafe vehicles will have influence on this too.

Interestingly, the vehicle checks are 12 monthly in UK, (or were when I lived there). In view of the incredibly fast salt enhanced corosion in UK this always struck me as the wrong way around for NZ / UK.

I have heard of it ... We only get about 12 inches a year. ( A common womens complaint ... apparently )

So, I'm in Japan now. I could easily buy several scooters but am wondering if it wouldreally be worth sending them to NZ.
