I am fascinated with off road mopeds like the Honda Ruckus and the Yamaha Zuma. They are relatively cheap compared to real motorcycles at about $3,000. I like that 49cc mopeds dont require a motorcycle license in many states and in my state 49cc mopeds dont even require registration or insurance. I think this is why you see mopeds as RV camp and track transportation (pit bikes) because they are cheap and street legal. My only complaint about the Ruckus and Zuma is that they have tiny wheels and very little suspension travel that really sucks off road. I know they aren't meant to be dirt bikes but sometimes you want just a little bit more performance off road than what traditional mopeds give you. Enter the Motoped! You have the agility of a downhill mountain bike with larger 26 inch wheels that roll over obstacles better than a moped and 7 to 8 inches of travel to roll over logs and soak up big whoops at higher speeds that a moped sucks at. But you still have the power of an engine to get you up hills and around camp faster than a bike. And if you want to cruise quietly through camp or a park or the track...just pedal like a bike in stealth mode. The application is obvious for a survival bike AKA bug out bike. Power when you need to get out of dodge faster than walking and silent pedal power when you want to move stealthy and not attract attention. In a survival situation it wouldn't be my first choice but its an option and options are always good to have. Plus...it just looks like fun if nothing else!!!!
