I was cgecking out these mopeds on another site and saw what looks to be a M/B. It is a Puch moped with pedals like a bicycle.
Anyways, I like the rear wheel setup.

I wasn't sure if posting a pic of a moped would offend anybody. I'm happy it did not.
I think some of the parts would work well and look good on an M/B. I'm thinking a mountain bike frame and maybe a cafe racer look.

LoL heh this kind of stuff was my inspiration so I definately wouldn't be offended. Plus technically all of our bikes are Mopeds. Motor+Pedals=MOPED so they are just home made mopeds! See the add on the left of the screen that shows "mopeds"? those are not mopeds, they are scooters. Once again to be a moped you must have a motor and pedals.
I think you have us confused with brand X forum. Here we are into everything. Not a purist in the house that I know of. In the sixties I took one of their 109 cc bikes on a 500 mile road trip. I will have to tell you all about it some day.

That engine sprocket looks like it could rather easily convert to a BMX style freewheel sprocket thus making pedaling this thing with engine off rather easy.
It's so much closer looking to an MB than a Moped that this is what you may end up with
if you build one no expense spared.

Motor, pedals, what's not to like?
Those show up on our local (blank)-list once in a while, low of $350, high of $800.

you are right about the brand "x" forum. they kinda take the perspective that the hamb takes toward rat rods. anyway the mopeds are awesome i've had a few of em. I have a 77 foxy gt powered by a puch 40 cc hanging in the rafters. last weekend I bought 2 more little vespa paggio ciaos. they also are low on hp. as you said though there are alot of nice parts on these things. before i cannibalize mine i'm going to get with the guys at moped nation and see if i can put a big bore kit and heavy duty clutch shoes in it. right now me being 250lbs it doesn't carry me nearly a 1/4 as good as my little 70 cc chinese shop built mb. mine has a freewheel gear on the left to peddle with and on the right a belt drive gear reduction dual centrifigual clutch set up. the faster you peddle the more the clutch grabs to spin the engine then the engine starts and spins another centrifugal clutch to propel me at not astonishing speed. I want to take the gear reduction rear wheel from on of the vespas lace it to my stingray rim so i have gear reduction and good brakes. I dunno what i'm powering it with yet though been toying with the briggs 5 hp i got in the corner just begging to be used.
here's the mopeds that i have all besides the 77 foxy gt its really nice green chrome tank chrome exhaust but my phone wont upload it for some reason. and the stingray that WILL become a moster but with good brakes.

Tomos currently makes a similar machine called the Streetmate. It's under 50cc and sells for under 2 grand.
