Tri-Ped Microcar | MOPED OF THE DAY

Tri-Ped Microcar

Here is a Tri-Ped Microcar restored by Taykoff (https://www.instagram.com/_taykoff/) of Saftey Second Moped Club. These vehicles are awesome.  They are one of the largest mopeds made.  There are other Tri-ped designs that look like a traditional tricycle.  Stuart Pivar invented the Microcar to be the modern car for urban environments.  Its a pipe or tubular frame design like many mopeds.  Powered by the Italian two-stroke Minarelli engine.

When Taykoff found the microcar someone had removed the original engine and replaced it with a 4 stroke engine.  He made a new engine mount to install a Minarelli V1.  Originally designed to reach a top speed of 30 miles per hour on a stock V1 platform.  Its new engine has performance upgrades for improved speeds.
