Interesting bike
father guzzi obrian:
The 125cc unit looks pretty interesting, they have decent bicycle components along with other bits, and cost less than a good mountain bike with largely Chinese sourced bits....

As a bike guy first and a motorcycle guy second, I love the motoped...
I will say before you buy a kit google terms like 'motoped bent crank arm' 'motoped wait time' 'motoped unhappy' or look at the facebook page 'motopeds uncensored'
The company has had a bear of a time filling orders and dealing with the volume... they have recently filed bankruptcy (again~ yes since the Kickstarter campaign) and a lot of people have been waiting on kits, parts, or pieces that were missing from their kits for nearly a year.
There is an ADV build thread called 'Whitey the Motoped' you should take a look at... It did get built and looked stunning... But the builder ended up having to fabricate several pieces... waited on the rear hub for 6mos, etc... Then his crank promptly bent the first time he laid it on it's side (no side stand)

How would you account for the odd mixture of rim and tire size, it seems to have a 24" tire on a 26" rim ???

24" rear, 26" front IIRC
Aaron D.:
Gee, get rid of the motor and you'd have something there.
Why does all survivalist literature seem to boil down to an excuse to buy trucks, guns,toys, or some combination of the three?
Sheepdog:
You can improve the range if you remove the motor...
