    As long as the car uses a 12v battery (I assume that's what the moped uses too). Just make sure the voltage matches.

    also afaik, its not recommended to have the car engine running when jump starting a smaller battery

    Very true. A car alternator uses a high current that will destroy a bike battery which uses a smaller current to charge. No point in having a car running for this whatsoever.

    Yep she started first time with a jump off the car. Sound for that.

    I once had to start the car to jump the bike - it would barely turn over otherwise.

    But this was a 1 litre bike and a 1 litre car :pac:

    Don't most mopeds still have backup kick starters? You can't push start them.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    This moped is fuel injected so no kickstart.
