I hate when these are called mopeds. The moped was a light motorcycle that had peddles that you could actually power the rear wheel like a bicycle.

Other than that cultural faux pas it's a great story.

Yeah my grandpa had one of those. Overtime the term shifted when they stopped making pedal bikes like that.

My uncle had one in the 70s and it was amazing. In the late 90s one friend rigged one to run on alcohol. He started the Hempcar program.
