- What do you get when you cross a mountain bike and a 49cc moped? You get a MOTOPED.
I saw this for the first time last year at SEMA. This year I got a chance to ride it and I have to admit....I really want to buy one now.
I have been wanting a moped to scoot around my neighborhood. I also live right next door to the open desert so I wouldn't mind an offroad moped like a Honda Ruckus, Yamaha ZUMA or a dirt bike.
The problem is the tiny wheel of a moped dont do well offroad and a dirt bike isn't legal to ride in the parks and on the streets. And even if I got a dual sport...it isn't well received by my neighbors if I am seen riding it through the parks and sidewalks near my house because its a motorcycle.
Thats where a Motoped comes in. It can go anywhere a bicycle can go because all you have to do is turn off the engine and pedal it like a bike. And when you are ready to rip up and down hills....hit the electric start and you have a dirt bike.
In most places in the US you dont even need a license or registration or plates if you keep it under 49cc.
Or it makes for a bad ass pit bike if you need to get around a racetrack or a camp ground.

That's pretty cool. I can see putting this in the back of a bug out vehicle and using it to do smaller chores or some scouting. The price is awesome and it's fairly quiet.
That looks like fun I live in Colorado and I have trails all over that this would be a blast to drive on. I'm asking Santa......
I NEED ONE OF THOSE!!!
Is the red and white model street legal in Calif?
Can you put cut down fenders on it?
these are all the way awesome, how fast?
way cool!!
Looks cool for what it is,.. but is the engine a Honda, or a harbor freight/Honda?
+matt4270 The engine is made by Lifan which makes a carbon copy version of the old 49cc Honda motor so the reps say its a reliable design regardless if its not branded Honda. Plus they said since it uses the hanging engine mount design you can slap on almost any engine that uses the same hanging system so if you buy a genuine Honda engine later down the road you can simply swap it in.
You could buy the electric conversion motor from High Power Cycles and go full electric/stealth if you want to later down the road as well. Thats what I am interested in. Ride it on one battery then swap in a new battery when the first one dies. Then ride while the other one charges. Buy a big solar panel and you could ride gas free!!!
+mixflip The 125cc looks interesting.
+Filip Fuček The Hi Power Cycles electric conversion is said to have a 20 mile range? I dont know if that is true though. If it is....thats impressive for electric.
Will I need to register it if I get the 125cc version? I live in California and I'm not sure about the laws about motorbikes.
Check with your local DMV
Nope
They can't build em for what they sell em for....hmm.
$3000.00 for a motoped or $300.00 for a 49 cc China Doll engine mounted on a bicycle ?
Since I've built one for so much less I don't need help splitting the cost .
$2700.00 for shocks is novel for sure
I mean that's cool but for 4500 you can get a 450 factor race bike throw 17" slicks on it.
Or like just a generic mountain bike with a battery operated kit, which usually run around a grand or two, so you're talkin about 3,000 at most and it'd be lighter and faster than that. o.o
tv/ UsaRubber no lighter but everything else is true. I have a 450 and that thing ways more than me. 2* and im 150 pounds
hello you have anything to do with ingineum power and sports from Florida
Wouldn't be cool to see an electric version that could be recharge by pedalling (or with deploying small solar panels)?
Where does a guy buy the street legal kit that is on the above bike? Anyone? Thx.
So how is it to peddle that thing with only one gear? Seems like a bit of a let down to me, like it's an excellent moto-bike, but not a great peddle bike because of that single gear...but I haven't ridden one. How would it do peddling around, up hills etc?
it's not bad to pedal on flat ground if you just want to cruise through a park or parade or something. but it would suck to pedal up hill. this thing seems to shine as a moped....and the pedals get it in places where bicycles are accepted....but it's really 99% moped.

That's what it looks like too, thanks for confirmation and the videos!
+rogue109 In English, it is "pedal", not "peddle".

Thanks, very helpful of you.
Questions: No need a motorcycle license ?, the tires are pneumatic , just to go the dessert and mountains.
+Tito r No license needed for 49cc and lower in my state. Check your local laws.
Tito r It differs state to state, so you should check your state laws
Tito r it's a moped
He's the Pinoy James Bond, he can operate anything.
lol I like the sound of that....the pinoy James Bond.
+ernesto jr mobo mixed....pinoy....hence the name mixflip.
You can sell 10 million pieces in India of these bikes.all u need to do is reduce cost so shift production in India.
Give me ur dealerships
Maybe in the future a two seater version ? It will be perfect to take my special lady with me !
Electric is the way to go, with or without pedals!
exactly ...
PNB London until your battery goes dead in 20-30 miles! When these small 4 stroke engines with four speeds get three times than on just a gallon and s half! The engine is a Honda design, that is bulletproof! Plus at least it’s a nice quiet and smooth 4 stroke, that is fairly clean. That on the Survival model could take you and minimal provisions cross country!
Not street legal in AZ. Must be 48cc or less, with no gears.
I could build it for much much Less! I know he is there to sell, and That's IT! There is nothing high tech here. For that price, the fabricated piece to hold the engine, and bikes swing arm, would have to be milled from a block of billet. Plus the wheels would have to be carbon fiber, with other bits and pieces like the exhaust made from titanium. So this should go for $1000.00 to $1,200.00 tops. For that price it would have to have a 190cc pitster pro engine in It! Now that might match it's price. Or an engine that's equivalent to something the company BBR is putting out. Good luck with volume Sales! Ha, ha.
Lol
+IndigoCrimFilms thanks for watching.
+mixflip I just did it to get a first comment , honestly I respect you and like %98 of your content.
+IndigoCrimFilms I try to thank all my viewers. 98% is pretty good! lol
But it's gas.... it's loud.... it drips fluids.... AND you gotta peddle the thing.... sorry guys. Hey. Make it electric ⚡️ put a magnetic motor to charge the battery... ta da! WELCOME to the 21st century.... or solar panel on its shed. Thanks! You're welcome 😊
Oh yah... I forgot to mention it pukes exhaust...
Check out the cake kalk
This idea is a good one but this application is ment for gear heads that like motors now they have the electric ones and all u gotta do is carry a second battery in the pack for coming home
