I just purchased a 2nd generation Motoped kit from a seller on Ebay. Looking forward to building this kit, although it looks like may be pretty pricey to complete.
I already have three Honda clone motors on hand, 50-125cc.
Had a bit of a problem with the seller on Ebay as there was no rear sprocket in the kit as shown in the original listing. He called me incompetent and said I away incapable of finishing the kit. He earned a negative from me, his Ebay listings now say "no sprockets included"
I will have to fabricate a adapter to mount a xr50 sprocket or get a blank and machine the mounting holes.
I will post build pictures as I progress.

We had a bunch of Motopeds at the last April 12th Socal Motor Bicycle Racing event.

There will be more of them at our next race on Sat May 31st at Grange Motor Circuit.

do you know how thick the jackshaft mount is...the aluminum plate that houses the jackshaft and holds the bottom bracket..thanks in advance
 
I'll try joining but I just wanted to see really just two small specs they are using for a custom build I'm building..I'm not building a motoped but a cruiser/chopper style bike. Street only use...just wanted to get thickness of that plate to see if I'm about what there's is and how long the spindle is..my build well not have the plate housing the bottom bracket like there's and is not full suspension..
 
Thanks..do you know spindle length? I should have asked that as well sorry..the last thing I'll ever ask for lol
 
If you mean the jackshaft
-total length approx. 10 in.
-bearing center to center for mounting to sideplates is approx 8 in.
-bearing center to center for swing arm is 7 in.
I'm waiting for the rear sprocket from the seller and I have a Cafe Racer project to finish first.
No problem about asking questions.
