Something does NOT add up here. Many years ago when I still lived in the US, mopeds were introduced as one solution to the "great oil shortage" of the 70s. Depending on your state of residence, you could purchase 20MPH, 25MPH and 30MPH versions. The mopeds were limited to 50cc engine displacement. Most states had no special registration. All we need in my state at the time as a small sticker available at the registry of motor vehicles for a few dollars and good for, if I remember correctly two years. With a 125cc engine, you can only get 24MPH out of this bike? The engine may be detuned to produce extra torque and the gearing may be super low but 24MPH? Does anyone agree with me? Note the earlier comments from folks in the UK about their experiences.
I think most states require them to go below 25 miles per hour.
I'ld rather find a nice, restored Honda trail bike, around 125cc. The older ones were similar looking, with the rack on the back, and had a gearbox that could switch from high, to low. So you could still get around 45 mph on the flat run, then, switch it down into low for steep, off road. Great bikes and very dependable. Last one I came across in very good shape went for around $800.
I wonder how much you gonna pay for a used worn and torn 125cc bike . I built my brand new motorized bike for $200.
I’ve been all over the fb marketplace and eBay shopping for one of those. I just need to learn more about how they work so I can do repairs when needed.
There are thousands of people who love helping you you learn. I would help you. It is so easy. You tube has tons of videos that help diagnose and fix any problem that may arise.
get yourself a motorized bike kit for 150and use your mountain bike paint it flat black put some racks on it..no license.no registration..no problem.. and use the money saved for a large screen t.v.so you can watch the world crumble in hd...
Great advice, lol. 8}
Before you buy a motor kit, check to see it if will fit your bike. Most kits fit cruisers but not every mountain bike - it needs to have a large space in the frame for the motor.
molybogo
molybogo, Right on, they work very well, easy build,, a must have if we get a gas shortage. It beats walking and carrying stuff.
Agreed...that first bike was ridiculous...just buy a motorcycle.
"Budget Friendly Alternative"
Later in the video: "Not a pretty price tag" --> $3,799.00
Because he is looking for cheaper alternatives
I don't know if you have that word too, but motorized bicycles with pedals are called "Moped" in Germany. These small-budget alternatives to cars and motorbikes were very popular here during the sixties to eighties and are still everywhere.
Screw the end of the world...I'd ride that those survival bikes to work everyday jut for the fun of it...Minus the crossbow of course. Second thought considering my coworkers the crossbow wouldn't be a bad idea.
Haha I like your attitude. Live your life like you are the star of an action movie!
senta ukrai I ride mine everywhere. They are really cheap to build. I get near 160 miles/gallon fuel. I don't have a crossbow though.
160 mpg is incredible. I'm sure it would not be hard to mount a crossbow to your bike. Any real prepstar would... ;)
Urban Survivor Remake the video - a 80 cc 2 stroke motor is sold on eBay for 95.00. It goes 45 mph. Mounts to any bike.
The crossbow might be necessary now days.
When looking at that Crimson Tide bike the Wicked Witch of the West theme instantly popped in my head.
we had this along time a go it is call a moped
With the rise in popularity and standardization, electric mountain bike, hub motor rear, direct drive, suspension seatpost, trailer (single wheel) or longtail cargo models, a kickstand that lifts the rear off the ground and can support a rider sat on it, use the regen to pedal it stationary as an exercise bike to recharge, or solar panel it, silent, spare parts are easier to come by nowadays, realistically pedalable without power, regen on downhill and manual on flat and uphill can charge as you go, carry a spare (normal) rear wheel with tyre and tube preinstalled for reverting back to a normal bike as well as carrying a spare tube and tyre on hand, scaving and building a solar generator post shtf is allot easier than creating biodiesel.
Agreed! Check out this video about an electric survival BMX bike. This model is pretty cool - czcams.com/video/__L9dnUDLe8/video.html
Get a Kawasaki klr650 dual sport motorcycle. 6 gallon gas tank, luggage rack built on, rides almost as good as a dirt bike, street legal and will do 90mph on the street. New they are $6k used much less.
That's not very practical for a survival bike. You need something that can be pedaled when not running gas. Moreover, 200 bucks for a bike and motor kit is a hell of a lot more reasonable for a 6k dual sport.
You aren't going to be pedaling long or very far with the added weight of the motor, gas and gear.
valhala56 of
valhala56 I'd say one of those klr 650 would be higher than that but I'm a truck driver and can't really strap a 650 behind the sleeper and have room for the trailer either.id prefer a Yamaha if I did that lol.but u grew up in Yamaha
I hear you man.
The "Crimson Tide" looks like a good starting point, if you know a good bike shop to add some decent brakes and a remote second tank.
Oddly ideal. Keeps you mobile on laughably small amounts of fuel, rack for the bug out bag, fits compactly in the bed of the pickup with the *MAIN* survival gear for when the truck goes tits up or is not suitable. Universal bomb-proof Z50 engine design and parts that might as well grow on trees, pedals for when you can't afford to make noise. If you're basing your bail out plan on a bigger bike, fine, but this fits the small scale plan without everyone hearing you roaring down the trails to your safe spot.
cool
Awesome video. Really like this sort of stuff.
Would love to see more. Keep it up.

An electric bike you might enjoy
There is a guy here in my town who has one made of a regular bike and a weed whacker engine. I think its a simple friction drive. I think the "clutch" simply uses a break pedal to pull the engine off the wheel. Also using a regular "whacker" engine solves your spare parts headaches as the parts are easy to come by and available everywhere.
I also saw a trike on Instructables that was solar powered. No fuel needed ever and almost silent. They got I think 10-15mph on a full charge and no cargo.
Mind you, in Viet Nam the VC moved most of their munitions via bicycle by tying bamboo staves lengthwise on the frame and lashing cargo to that. They pushed them generally, but, they could haul 200lbs of gear over rough terrain. So a bike is a great asset regardless of it having an engine or not.
The 125cc is supposed to go 44.mph..... keep in mind at that CC level it is considered a motorcycle in most areas. The 49cc goes 24mph, but is considered a moped or motorized bicycle in most areas.
I'm not gonna lie, when I purchased my bike motor kit the survival thought did cross my mind d: interesting take on it, thanks
Electric hub on the front and petrol on the back is my favorite. Shame there's no real good way to do the German U-boat trick where using the petrol motor will charge the electric, etc.
How do you get it ensured and what license you need for it? Is it same like those pedelecs or ebikes?
a little to heavy for me
I have an electric motor and a solar panel to charge. the kit only came with a battery set up with about 12 amp hr. but I pull a kiddie trailer with larger batteries and try to go about 50 miles or so.the drawback of course is not at full power as fuel runs out. the electrics are very quiet also
Just a thought. you could always add an electric wheel on the front for them times you need to be quiet. With a solar charging unit.
Honda 50....the very best. I saw 5 Vietnamese and about ten upside down live ducks on one Honda 50 heading to market. Deservedly the biggest selling motorised vehicle of all time.
Joss Fitzsimons in 1970 I had a Honda 50 they were great little bikes automatic to wish I could find one cheap
I equipped my cam am commander. With my stored fuel I have 900 mile range on it. Plus everything I have for gear. Spare parts . I've made this thing unstoppable. It's bad ass . If SHTF I am good to travel far and wide, Now I pray I don't have to use it for that purpose.
My Honda Wave 110cc, does 200mpg (imp), 60mph, carries 2+ people, laasts forever and costs $900 here in Asia. Then you buy a sidecar and carry a 1 ton payload...... So much for this modern "cool" jjunk.
look at the solex type moped old french moped that also exists in e-solex.
I think an electric powered bike would be better. Making noise draws attention, and this thing's gas engine would make noise you could hear from half a mile away. Also, you can solar charge an electric bike.
Electric bikes are not a bad idea. They are generally pricier from what i've seen. Also, you would need a pretty strong solar charger to juice up a bike which I'm sure would run you several grand if you want it to be able to charge the bike within a day.
Good points.
I own an electric bike, and two portable solar panels attached to the back of it. Solar energy gets interrupted by the cold during the winter, and clouds that are too dense. To fully charge my bike I would need $5-7k worth of solar panels attached to some sort of roofing system to get a steady current going. Tried taking a trip from nyc to canada on my two small ones, barely made it out of nyc. Ebike technology is not reliable enough yet imo
Kool video , Very informative...
IMO in a bugout situation you really only need the engine to put on miles in the first couple of days, to get well away from whatever populated area you are bugging out from. A good mountain bike with one of the
You continue on pedal power. :P I'm a pretty fit dude but even I wouldn't want to ride a pushbike around as my main form of transport! E-wheel / hub motor on the front for silent travel and a roll up power cell = long term usage. Shame there's no way to rig it like the U-boats which used electric and petrol (well, diesel) motors - when on diesel it would turn the electric motors and the screws, thereby charging the batteries and driving das boot. So the batteries always topped up as you were on the diesel engine.
@@bashkillszombies I like the idea of a diesel/electric/pedal pushbike! Might as well include some solar panels too.
You can get a good quadrunner for that price. Or you can get a RAZOR for twice that price.
where do you think I could buy a motor like that?
The Crimson Tide kit is made up if a $130 walmart bike and a $100 Chinese engine. Even with upgrades you'll still be under $300. Any one paying $500 for this, especially as a kit, I've got some special water I can sell you. LOL
just get a 29cc engine for 60-80 bucks used or 100 new. And get tank 45 bucks. and the 29cc can go 26 MPH traction. With chain 30 MPH.
My first bike cost me around $800 for everything. (shocks, rack etc.) My second was $50 and I made upgrades out of scrap parts, it is the best bike I have owned yet.
Buying Water is all the Rage with Dip Shit Demokrats...
AVM Survivor stfu bitch
AVM Survivor - Yeah, he said the price of the bike is $300 (bike, engine AND LABOR). What makes it expensive is shipping it to the continental US.
Love it👍
most modern cars have protection against syphoning and a more stealthy low key way to get gas from abandoned cars is to use an oil change catch tank position it under the car and cut the fuel line or puncture the tank when the gas has filled the tank put the bung in and carry your treasure away. this amazon link should show you the sort of tank I'm talking about. www.amazon.co.uk/Engine-Antifreeze-Drainage-Container-Recycle/dp/B00K2RG92E/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1471549870&sr=8-6&keywords=Oil+Drain+Pan%2F+Recycling+Container
That's an interesting idea. Do you think this would be convenient to do with most cars on the road these days or would you need a jack?
Urban Survivor no jack needed it was the last thing we were required to do when prepping old cars for the crusher on the scrap yard that and taking the wheels off.
For a demo of this, check out After Armageddon here on YT, a docudrama of a family trying to survive after a pandemic hits. Really good survival info. I teach survival. This vid I make students watch before class.
richard b hollick 1/4 hose bypasses that. It takes longer, but it works.
I've done some research. I weigh 300 pounds with out gear attached. I can't find what size electric motor conversion to move my 300 pounds. Or what size gas motor. Without being overkill in power. Can some please help. Thank you
It's survival for the fittest
I wouldn't mind having one of those to run errands around town. My truck only gets 12 miles per gallon.
it was a good introduction to an alternative getaway.
I imagine bugging out on one of these things would be pretty badass
Cool video, and I've been thinking about grabbing one of the 80cc kits to convert a cheapo 29er I have. It'd be a great short range errand runner, but y'all need to remember that the estimated top speed for engines this small decreases significantly when the amount of weight they're moving increases! So, for short runs, or if you like to travel REAL light, they're great. But for a long term long haul wicked post apocalyptic ride, I'll stick with my 98cid torque monster, my 2000 Yamaha Road Star...if I ride sensibly it's good for 50+MPG (35MPG when I ride REAL fast :-p ) and has a 4.5 gallon gas tank (loooooong range cruiser!), cruises comfortably at 80, can pack enough gear to go camping PERMANENTLY and move it at speed without breaking a sweat, and is straight up badass lol!
I just got an ebike and plan on using my Sunjack solar panel with it
look up bike engine kit I have an 80 c.c kit there cheap but good
You called it speedy? Here in the U.K any 50 cc (Moped) is restricted to Max 30 MPH, Our next Group is up to 125 cc and they will give 60-65 MPH and return over 100 MPG. The problem with yours is also if you put any load on it and you go slower, Our do not as we have 6 speed gear boxes
In the UK around 1973 there were 50cc mopeds with power pipes exhaust pipes use to zip around over 30 mph.
What is so difficult with placing ads where it doesn't interfere with the flow of the video, CZcams is more interested in profits than giving a pleasant experience.
James LaGasse to be honest CZcams let’s you choose where and when you want the ads to be placed so the abnoxous ad placement is completely on me... the CZcams overlords are guilty of many evils but this is not one of them
Gotta have the spring seat
will this work if we get hit with an EMP?
LOL 8}
For that situation you'd need a diesel with a kick-start.
So in that scenario where do you get the gas .pads for the breaks all in all waste of time
Do I need License to ride in CA
Wait. 24 miles per hour? I built a motorized bicycle that did 45 regularly before I even modified it at all
I was thinking the same thing. 24 mph is not fast enough for the $3800 price tag. I have an electric bike that does 20mph and it only cost me $1500
It is a bit slow but unless Hussein Bolt is chasing you you should be able to outrun most sheeple :)
Great video. I love the concept of bug out bikes so much, I started a Facebook group called Bug Out Bikes And Trikes.
That's great! Please share a link to it!

I actually won one in a scratch-off ticket in Kansas. It is pretty nice, but with my life style I don't think I will use it much (I commute a long distance for work and my time out side is mostly walking my dogs) I am thinking of selling it but don't know where to start. Any ideas?
kinda neat but if you are going to be light you better be nimble and fast i do like the options to put on a faster bike tho
Buy a new dirt bike for that price no thanks
james burke
def would need some refill points figured out. lil
For three grand you could easily find a dirt bike and rad it out. If you're really into the bicycle idea, then build your own. It's pretty cheap to buy the engine.
that crimson tide is just a huffy beach cruiser with a wizzor kit
Swytch bike, makes a front rim that has a wire that goes to a little front basket , so that bike can also be made electric front wheel drive as well. 👍
Oh thats cool!
great video
thanks buddy g;ad you enjoyed
LOL i have the 100cc kit on my mountain bike. It's hilariously fast and scary at the same time🤣 hill climbs like a beast!
I once fabricated a Lawnboy mower engine onto a 20" bike. The peddles were removed and an additional sprocket installed on the shaft. A centrifugal clutch, chain & gas tank and that was it! Sold it to another kid before it was finished. He crashed it hitting a laied down telephone pole...oh by the way it didn't have any brakes!
I can think of a scouting mission. Intel is always valuable.
What is average mpg?
I don't work for motoped but I have ridden them and I can tell you without a doubt, a motorized bicycle or "kit bike" isn't even the same ballpark.... it isn't even the same sport.
if you want to see what a motoped can do there are many videos out there but I highly suggest if you can arrange a test ride there are demos across the country.
with some of the modifications available to the hundred 25 cc motor you can go much faster than 24 miles an hour and upgraded with mods to the motor which makes the thing as fast as most small dirt bikes.
if you took that $500 piece of junk even down a bike trail easy picking up the parts of it after about a mile. there are some were the motorized bicycles but taking some Chinese piece of junk and slapping a motor on they've found to be quite problematic and in some cases dangerous.
You're incorrect, the 49cc model is the one that goes only 24MPH. The 125cc engine model can go 45MPH.
nice
only person could afford to buy this thing would be the kind that's gonna get to go underground. or the kind that won't last long anyway.
Get a Honda ruckus 50 cc tough as a tank and 85 mpg
If I were in a shtf with kids in a city I would get them Razor scooters for emergency bug out. They are cheap, most kids love them and it beats trying to run.
Most gas engine kits are too underpowered. If u get a 6.5hp 4 stroke engine from harbor frieght & a torque averter cvt style transmission. do a few quick engine mods & use the right sprockets & drop it into a beach cruiser or mountain bike w/front suspension, fill the tires w/slime to prevent flats, you'll end up w a bike under 500$ that can do 50+mph & get about 70mpg. I didnt add in brakes/lights. Saddlebags to carry supplies/tools/weapons. taking the front end,front & rear wheel from a small dirt bike might be a cheap alternative to suspension & braking. I think 750$ should be the top what u should pay though the 1st estimate should be the final cost if u are crafty/mechanically inclined & have some access to a junkyard
Hi. Can you tell me how much slime I would need to put in my bike tires (26" tires)? I'm pushing 70 and my bike is my main form of transportation. Flats are no fun when you don't know how to repair tires. Slime sounds like the answer to my problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Percy Barbarossa I wouldn't even bother with this piece of crap well you pay over $2,000 for a 125cc Chinese bike that Livery will vibrate itself apart Check reviews on it I sure as hell did but right now someone on Facebook is selling a KLR 650 1991 model for $400 I'm going with the KLR and not this hodgepodge of various Nuts and Bolts
At that point, I'll just buy a light motorcycle.
Percy Barbarossa if you do it with a 212 for less then 500$ you are building a death machine. I build motorized bikes and the 212 is a beast. Mine bent the rear subframe after about 1k worth of riding. Now all that said the 212 is a wonderful engine for power and 60 to 80 mile per hour speeds but bicycle wheels are not safe with that motor. If you want dependability with 40 to 60 mph speeds build a 79cc harbor freight motorized bike. Not as quick but much quicker then any China Girl or 4 stroke kit bike.
Scott Lang I just seen a video of a black guy think he's a firefighter he just made a motorcycle with a predator 212 engine or 312 I don't know what what's a good size piston engine and he basically made a chopper out of it you spent less than a hundred bucks for the engine and all the tubing and railings for the bike was scrapped he put it together painted it up and he's rolling the best thing to do is just to make your own motorcycle to get it registered and be done with it but that's my opinion I mean people could go ahead and buy these Chinese motorcycles from what I've been hearing or made out of recycled pot metal I don't know if it's true or not but it's a good joke to me but I rather put something together by myself or I get a cheap Enduro motorcycle that's road legal or adventure bike like the KLR 650 and spend $80 on a Big Bore Kit turn it to a 8:05 for more horsepower and torque and like I said before one of these other threads there's one on Facebook in New York for $400 think smarter not harder people
they are loud as Heck and in a SHTF they are asking to be taken . During a hunt the gas /oil odor /noise will scare away game animals . Personally i think a good fat tire ebike with a small solar charger at home is the trick for shtf . Ebikes have snuck up game animals ,large and small many times . They are silent , odorless and fast . Gas will be hard to come by if the 'fit hits the shan' . The sun will shine . my 2 ¢
I use an 800cc 4x4 ATV to get to my camp every time that I go big game hunting. Seeing as I harvest animals every year I highly doubt that the noise and(or) smell from this little POS will disperse all the game in the area. As for SHTF neither this or an e-bike will do. A good horse is what you will need
do you sell these bikes?
I like the concept but I would consider using an electric bike that way you have no noise and no need to look for fuel if you could rig up a solar charging system with that electric bike you wouldn't have to worry about fuel at all and you wouldn't have to worry about noise
Any enthusiast knows the crimson tide frame with the built in rack is known for the welds breaking .
I have a motorized bicycle and unlike the motoped it's actually practical to peddle .
Just because the motoped has peddles doesn't mean you can ride it for miles by peddling .
You can keep your $2,700 worth of shocks and I'll keep my $300.00 worth of engine and frame :-)
my motorized bike does over 65km the goal is 80km and has 100mpg weights 60pds I tried but cant post a picture
let's see a video!
Urban Survivor check out kingsmotorbikes.com and they are all over ebay the best motor is the Skyhawk there is special frames gas tank built in.. ps cops don't know the difference from the 49cc and the 66cc they start at about 300bucks to up around 1,500 for a nice motorized beach cruiser
Yeah these guys have some great bikes. Got my eye on this frame lol... www.kingsmotorbikes.com/collections/all-bike-frames-wheels/products/kmb-motorized-bicycle-diy-bike-only
do u have a email I can send a picture that way
upload it here and share the link:
www.imageno.com/
about 5 years ago a lot of people around my parts ,instaled motors from a company called ZOOM BYCICLE ,they had these 50cc and 60cc motors you instaled in the frame, a little gas thank, they were realy strong and got your bike going at 50 km per hour easely , so just saying you dont need a 125 poud bike, just modifi the one you have and save a lot of wieght.
Diesel? Convertible to bio diesel?
Buy a 50 to 125 cc scooter used, street fighter it and build racks and shit. I can get scooters under 500 and usually for 100
Problem with those 125cc bikes is that they probably not good as a standard 125cc dirt bike, also not good as a bicycle. Made my own for a fraction of the price with under 40lb weight (dry)
So I don't know a lot about this bike specifically, but most motorized bikes are homebuilt. The 80 cc 2 strokes can usually get to 30 mph and the kits only cost about $200 (you need you're own bike). You need to remember, though, that 2 strokes need mixed gas AND these motors are usually made in China and have poor quality parts. They break down a lot, and a lot of the folks that build these do it because it's fun, not because it's reliable.
Where is the beer holder ?
Did you engineer the bike or another company? That is a great survivors idea for a bike. (You'll be able to outrun most people)
I got a quality diamondback bike off the curb, once I put new tires on it and throw my gear on and add a motor kit to it, it should be under $200
I just built one for under 200 bucks out of a mountain bike frame I'm going to build more 49cc really fun to poor pot arould
Gas bikes are uprgadable and faster while peddle assisting on the flats and down hill. They are very efficient.
Ok I spoke too soon. On second thought another situation where one of these bikes could be useful is the initial bugout. Remember when hurricane Katrina was bearing down on New Orleans and people were jamming up the highways trying to get out? Well if you sacrifice enough gear to carry a 5 gallon gas tank on your back you can extend the range of a 50cc motorbike out to about 600 miles, more than enough to get you out of Dodge. And if the post apocalyptic world is surprisingly civilized you might spend very little gas getting salt from the ocean back to civilization for a living. But in a total SHTF scenario your going to find out the hard way a motorbike is very far from a tank.
Solar panels plus battery = unlimited bike gas?
Where have you been? You havemt uploaded in over 6 months
Have you ever seen the gas pumps and a hurricane situation no gas no diesel when the lights go out you had better damn well be able to Pedal that thing to wherever it is you're trying to get fuel will be 100% unaccessible unless it's diesel when you steal it from Transmissions put some engine oil with it to make it go further
its good but,... what about if an Emp strikes?
You could potentially keep this bike or something similar in a faraday cage. Otherwise a regular bike would do fine as well if you are in shape to ride it.
+Urban Survivor
I tried doing the same with a beach cruiser with a 2 stroke engine,and a bag as well tied in the back,mannn i was so exhausted from 2/3 hours of walking,if we were in a situation,most likely we will eventually abandon the bike
I'm exploring a pannier set up at the moment. I think its good if you are planning to cover a lot of ground to bug out but if you dont have far to go wlaking would be easier.
+Urban Survivor
yea it felt carrying boulders on each side on a hot sunny day,lol yea id go with walking ; ) nice thumbnail though
The best part about this bike is it has pedals so it's still at bicycle and not a moped because the pedals do not start the motor they are to pedal a bike like you would a bicycle
It's a neat object, but if things are really tough, that's not what you want, you'd just make yourself a target, an old bicycle is the way to go. Collect old bicycle junk and learn how to fix bikes. Stockpile some tires, grease, chains and bearings and you're all set to ride out armageddon. Bicycles don't need any fuel, so they'll work no matter what, and they're silent, so you can travel without drawing attention, old bikes don't scream wealth, so you're not as likely to be targeted by thieves.
Also, where do you think you're going? If you think you need to move, then move before anything happens. For most people, what matters is being able to reach the places they need to go: to stores, to work, to family and friends.
What you really want is a hybrid ebike with portable solar. Unlimited range and electric mode for stealth, gas for backup.
Just grab your bike and buy a 2 stroke motor kit off eBay I only paid 80 dollars
Might have made a diy
the weight from these bikes i hear wear out the bearings to fast as their not built for the weaght of a rider an gear as well as an engene,pluss a pack ,seen a guy buy for commuting to work an thats his complaint the bearings wear iout to fast
For survival I would favor a 4 stroke kit, only need to look for fuel, no 2 stroke oil.
This bike would run in the event of a Solar Flare like we had back in the early 1900s or an EMP from a nuke . The cars won't run because all computers would be fried BUT this bike has no computers like acar.
$3800 134 lbs. Give me a break!
Sure David Spade!
Gas engines will giveaway your position and make people aware you're around.
I built one of these using a two stroke motor off of ebay. Says it's 80cc but it's really 66cc. It goes about 15 to 20mph, but that's fast for a bicycle. YOU DO NOT want to go faster on a bike frame, they won't stand up. YOU WILL NEED some sort of springer front end. The bike weighs about 40lbs. MPG is about 100 miles. Check your local laws. The one above would require a license and tag. Mine doesn't. Almost anyone can put one of these together themselves. Don't use the chain adjustment pulley though, unless you like replacing frames, wheels and or spokes. Go to motoredbikes for more info.
It is for sure cool looking and the price is neither here nor there but a Honda 70 can do 50 mph. Also, give the bike a miles per gallon rating. Not how far it will go on the amount of fuel it will carry....that's irrelevant.
I just got a motoped survivalist a few weeks ago from a guy. Apparently they are now rare and are no longer being made
Thats awesome! How are you liking it so far? Never had a chance to ride one but always thought they looked really cool! Im working on an electric setup.
@@UrbanSurvivor Well I have to say as a dedicated cyclist I love it! I plan to really upgrade it and make it a true survival bike.
