I got into peds around 2001-ish I can’t remember I was on tour with Hempcar. That is when I saw a Kymco people 50 locked up somewhere in Santa Barbara CA. I thought to myself, “wow, a moped would be nice, it gets better milage than my S-10” When I got back home from the tour I googled mopeds, found MA and realized the people 50 was a cheap copy of the Aprillia Scarbeao, and that both were totally out of my price range, I found a beat to hell sachs Balboa for $150 on ebay and drove to Maryland to get it, nice guy the seller was, he threw in the extra engine he had too. 25mph was never so mch fun, One of my best friends at the time, hell still is, picked up a moby for free in mass and about a year later I traded him a bag of that good good for it, now I have three mobys, a sachs (the gunfighter(still incomplete)) a Trac frame, and a Sparta Stingray(also called a Buddy but private labled for a Va Beach Moped rental place) Each one has its quirks but they are all still loveable, like retarded children.
