Awesome Mopeds

Inspired by the classic Vespa scooter, this 21st century revamp gets a fully-electric drivetrain, eliminating the nasty smog and CO2 emissions that scooter engines are infamous for. It’s expected to hit the market in late 2017.

Kuma Films captured some awesome footage of Anpei Yo, an extremely agile and well-balanced moped rider as he worked his way around the handlebars and seat of his spinning bike. We’re not sure he even needs a front wheel.

Carpenter Carlos Alberto created this intricate handmade Vespa scooter for his daughter, Daniella – replacing all but the mechanical components with laminated hardwoods. And yes, it actually does ride.

A moped rider is sitting a bit too far forward when an 18-wheeler has a little trouble making the turn. We’re guessing this guy had to go change his underwear immediately. (Thanks Ray!)

This moped rider not only hit the highway at 85 mph – without a helmet, he does it lying down, with his face towards the ground. We’re amazed the stunt ended without tragedy.
