1) why would someone choose a 30km/h moped over a 45km/h? Isn't it just more convenient (and safe) to move around in the street rather than on the bike lane? Besides the purchasing cost, one is expected to pay just the yearly 800kr ca. ensurance and nothing else?
Depending on your age you might be able to ride a 30 km/h moped (called "lille knallert") without having a drivers license.
Some older 30 km/t model don't require a number plate so it easier when buying a old used model.
45 km/t always require drivers license and number plate.
Cycle path is more safe as car drivers will pass you closely all the time if you drive the same place as they do. But depends on where you live. Some areas have good cycle paths, some not. You can try riding a bicycle the places you want to go a lot (home, work, shop, gym) and see if there are good cycle paths if any.
If there are no cycle paths 30 and 45 ride the same place.
You need:
scooter
+ helmet
+ ensurance (called "ansvarsforsikring" cirka 800 kroner.)
+ number plate (590 kroner. Older 30 km/t model don't need)
+ drivers license (maybe you can use the one you have from italy? if riding 30 km/t model and you are old enough you might not need a drivers license, depends on your age)
The cost of drivers license for 30 km/t and 45 km/t are quite different.
I think it cost like 10000 kroner to get drivers license to ride 45 km/t, but im not sure. Compare that to 0 kroner if you are old enough to ride a 30 km/t without a drivers license.

2) can i rather get a 125cc and expect to pay the same 800kr per year as ensurance and that's it? Or the ensurance costs will be greater and other taxes will sum up?
I don't know about motorcycle (we call them motorcycle when they go faster then 45 km/t and have more then 50 ccm).
If you already have a drivers license that allows you do ride 125 cc maybe you should get that, if 30 and 45 is to slow and you dont like cycle paths.
