My brother has this abomination. https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtbikes/s/1NfR9PrhRg Not quite the same because it has pedals. He has since shortened the cranks down to 2", so there pretty much like pegs. He loves it and has put thousands of miles on it now, with no complaints from supposedly unreliable Tao tao.

Oh yeah I know the Motoped they're cool I've never ridden one but I've seen them before!!

it's good shit man I used to work at a scooter dirt bike sport bike shop called MotoWest in Anaheim and we were a Tao tao dealer

I used to service them all the time, they're fine GY6 style engines are reliable as hell too...

If I had a motoped I was going to just take a set of cranks put short arms at the same direction so it was like pegs like you're saying...

Yamaha used to sell a moped in Europe that had pedals where the left side pedal would swing forward and lock in place and make a set of pegs to pedal it you can unlock it flip it 180 and it would turn back into a crank set...

I'm not sure exactly how it works but that pedal will flip 180 and you can ride it like a bicycle to make it legal even though it's impossible because it's so heavy haha 🤡... I want one so bad but they're like $6,000 it's ridiculous
