Gone! It is running! MOTOPED Pulled the Trigger and Put them in the Crib Tonight

[Risk Man]

This thread will highlight my clean up and "Ride Readying" saga of my two "Motoped" bikes: The CRUZER and the SURVIVAL bikes. You can find much history on these short lived and well conceived bikes from a start up company from California, that struggled with their launch on KickStarter only to be rescued by a larger Penny Stock company in Kansas City MO. After that partner had a pretty sizable debt on the balance sheet, the run of these 3 (there was the "PRO" dirt track style bike) unique pedal assisted 4 stroke Honda clone engine bikes ended I believe the same year; 2015.

And here are two of their limited production bikes just off the trailer and a 4 hour round trip "Pick" much more to come. The Cruzer has a build date of October 2015 and the Survival was September 2015. Last 3 digits of the Cruzer are 177. Stay tuned!

Pretty rough pictures as they were parked. The adjustable oil filled rear shock picture is from the Cruzer and the mechanical spring shock is on the Survival.

Well This thread will highlight my clean up and "Ride Readying" saga of my two "Motoped" bikes:

Does your wife know you are out there "consorting" with so many others like this???...lol...lol...She is gonna get jealous...lol.

To me they're the best MotorBike since the Whizzer

What's so cool about em is that just about any Pit bike 4 speed engine can be mounted in that frame

Yes, she was my navigator and unloading assistant on the trip!

These are both 50cc two speed (automatic) specially build Lifan engines made for MOTOPED. Only downside is electric start.So if the battery fails away from the shop your could be SOL. But, I will carry a LIPO lightweight battery with enough amps to start it like a jumper. ( Will need to relocate remote battery terminals as some have done becuse the batter is tucked under the frame below the gas tank and hard to access)

My initial plan is to get the Survival bike cleaned, shined, tuned and ready to ride and sell we shall see. I wont be working on the Cuzer for a while. And I need to ride all the Whizzers this weekend as they have been sitting for 2 months while I rebuilt Risky's Ride.

I love the cruiser. It looks nice

With the low weight these things remind me of surrons. Especially the ones with the 125cc engine.

I actually like the surrons. They sound very appealing because of the aftermarket support, performance mods, and most of all the instant torque of the electrical motor
