Hand made in Montana, USA. Rat Rodz is
an easy way to convert most available standard bicycles, such as a cruiser, hybrid, mountain, road, trike, etc.
Turning an existing bicycle into a fully functional moped is only a couple bolts away for a Rat Rod kit.

----- Direct Drive -----
Simple to operate, simply pull the clutch lever in, pull start, and pedal off! Release the clutch lever to engage the drive spindle. Speed around and simply clutch at stops and idles. Simple and ease of use, no specialized replacement parts.
Adjustable clutch spring tension ensures accurate, consistent friction drive performance.

-- Add an ADA centrifugal clutch --

Kit is also available to install and allows the engine to idle at a stop with out having to use the clutch lever raise the engine off the tire.

Uses standard Zenoah 2 stroke hobby engines (22.5cc-34.5cc, or higher cc) resulting in an easy to start, run and maintain.

Paired with a Racing dynamics 1.5L gas tank, the result is a moped with reliability, distance, and presents a clean and light alternative to other moped kits.

Corundum coated spindles. Performs just like a velosolex type!
Steel option available as well!
Uses common go ped style parts, big selection of aftermarket upgrades and replacement parts!

-----Brakes-----

Requires no to a minimal amount of modifications to install.

If caliper brakes are used, one will need to be removed at the front to accommodate the universal mount.
Some however can be used with an brake adapter.

V brakes and other caliper less brake sets can be used in conjunction with the universal brake adapter

--------Tires--------

Sizes from 1" - 2.5" and larger
Rim sizes 16-20 (modifications maybe needed, I haven't gotten to mount on this yet) 24,26,27,29

Like most vehicles, a reliable and quality engine is paired with the importance of quality tires.

Why I choose Zenoah
CY engines and rovan are cheaper alternatives, but you do get what you pay for. Zenoah is high quality and certainly worth the money.

Friction drive simplicity, both in operation and design.
zenoah reliability, no centrifugal clutch (unless desired) for less parts to wear, keeping you on the road.
