By no means am I taking credit for this build but just happy it fell into my hands. After many years of being in hibernation its been awoken and brought back to life. With the help of my good friend Nate/ MotoMaticMopeds I was able to blast at the Los Angeles Wooly Bullies Moped Rally. It was not the fastest bike at the rally but with a little more time and tuning it just could have been. Like a fine wine this moped only got better with time. The scooter pegs were removed and replaced with a pedal crank and some good old pedals. The modified honda rear variator was replaced with a modified Gy6 scooter clutch for more range. The huge kart starter was replaced with a simple oneway bearing. My plan is to race down in SoCal against Tomahawk Mopeds, Long Beach Mopeds and those crazy 4-Stoke Bicycles. See you guys next year.
