Anyway, I saw a guy on the road with a gas engine on a bicycle...looked a bit like something out of the early 1900's just a simple bike frame with pedals and a small little one banger engine... maybe homemade, I didn't get a good look....and it set me to remembering the mopeds like yours.

Yes! We had mopeds about 25 years ago and remembering how much fun they were is why we got these last year. Finding old ones is possible but they weren’t all that well made even new and after sitting around in the back of a shed for a couple of decades good ones are hard to come by. We found that Tomos recently began importing them again so we bought these new. Not cheap at $1700, but less than the electric bikes I was looking at and more capable, versatile, and fun. I even ride them around town at home for fun and for certain kinds of errands. They work for us.
