Motorized bicycle breakdowns, parts for reliability/repairs while traveling.

[nimblebee]

My experience with motorized bicycles indicate, while traveling, if a part can fail, it will and usually at the most inopportune time and location.

What spare parts are most essential to carry, in avoiding being stranded & relying solely upon pedal power?

Irksome other day, about four and a half miles from town, when motor died and pedaled remainder of trip.

Last time checked; complete motorized bicycle kit costs around $113. Supposing could haul kit around, having every part that could possibly go wrong, but that's hardly practical.

Begs question: as a matter of personal preference, having no right/wrong answers, what do fellow riders prefer having as backup parts on road trip?

I have a 4t 138cc Whizzer MotorBike with saddle bags

It's wise to be ready for roadside repairs
Extra parts I carry
1) spark plug
2) CDI
3) Coil with spark plug wire and boot
4) Assorted nuts and bolts
5) Zip ties & rags
6) 2 Band screw clamps
8) 2 Tubes & patch kit
9) Small hand air pump
10) Cable lock
11) Tool Bag
18) 8 oz oil
19) Phone
20) AAA roadside assistance membership

I have RV/Motorcycle AAA emergency roadside assistance - I checked, they said they'll tow my Moped/Motorbike
I've never had to call AAA for a tow yet ,

But in the past I called my wife 2x
1x crack head left me stranded
1x failed CDI left me stranded - But now I carry an extra CDI
She hooked up the bike rack and came and picked me up
Now my wife's is older and can't lift the bike rack, So if I have any issues that I can't fix on the road, I'll call AAA

Basically carry whatever ya think ya need to make roadside repairs
IDK how far your riding but you can always pedal your bike like a bicycle home

Don't try and rebuild an engine on the side of the road That's just silly
Arrange for someone to call who can pick you up in an emergence
