We recently wrote about the Survival Bike by Motoped – which the interwebs loved – and now the company is giving us something with a little more luxury and style: the Motoped Cruzer.
The Motoped Cruzer is inspired by early 1900’s board-track racers, featuring classic design cues and materials found on motorcycles from days gone by. The Cruzer comes with wood fenders, a brushed stainless steel fuel tank, a spring seat wrapped in aged leather, and billet aluminum and brass accents. The bike can be customized with additional equipment like a cooler, a surfboard rack, and a saddle bag.
Anyone Have a Spare Motoped Cruzer for Sale?
As you can see, this is one fine looking ride, but does it actually deliver? Let’s have a look at the specs.
The Motoped Cruzer can be powered by human-power by using the pedals in combination with either a 49cc or 125cc engines. The smaller engine produces 1.7 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 1.7 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm, while the 125cc engine produces 7.78 HP at 7,000 rpm and 6 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. The bike is equipped with 3-way adjustable DNM front forks and 4-adjustable DNM rear shocks, and hydraulic forged 4-piston calipers.
The Motoped Cruzer can reach a top speed of 24 mph and can go between 100 and 150 miles on a gallon of gasoline. The bike weighs 128 pounds and has a starting price of $3,799. It’s not exactly inexpensive, but when you consider what you’re getting for the money, I think it’s actually fairly reasonable.
Hopefully we can take this for a spin and put together a full Motoped Cruzer review down the road. Looks like this thing moves a heck of a lot faster than the Swagtron scooter we reviewed here a while back.
Nice article about the motoped, but you should have done background check on owner Troy Covey, also CEO of APT Motovox Inc, a company he ran into the ground with over $50 million debt, is currently defendant in several related investor fraud lawsuits, and is using motopeds as an other shell company scam. Covey was recently evicted from building location for non payments, is being sued for that. And is currently not able to take orders and guarantee delivery. That should be follow up story.
