MOPED ARMY

Yeah, don't get a kickstart Tomos.

The rig-up for that never seems to work, not that I have seen.

Stick with the pedals, like it was designed, and all should be ok.

I dunno if it's the kickstart kit, or the dweebs they have installin it, but I have seen this problem, and some others, with most of em, yeah.

The rubber piece came off on mine too.

Usually - one forward, one back...and that works well for me since the prosthetic leg doesn't bend as well, so I usually stick that one forward...

Ron's right about one trick that works well, going into a high, tight turn, you rotate the high-side (outside the corner) pedal to it's lowest position, and conversely the low-side pedal to it's highest, if you wanna try a hard lean-over style of cornering.

That takes a mite of practice, and of course, a moped with enough power to have sufficient 'downforce' to hold you in the turn....but when pulled off well allows some really wild manuvers, since the lower overall speed of a moped is more 'forgiving' of minor mistakes, and allows for greater detail-of-control that a larger and heavier cycle can't manage, nor one going a lot faster.

Mopeds fall into a unique category of manuverability due to this, and I feel one should exploit that to fullest advantage.

I was under the impression that they might 'lock' and 'unlock' if you wanted to use them, or not. -- I was pretty comfortable with my Targa,w/o pedals. I wanted to know what the differences were. I was trying to weigh the benefits of having pedals or not, since the bike is exactly the same and you can choose either type of footrest.

I assume, if I pedal backward, I'll be able to lock up the rear wheel and do a nice 'skid'?

If I could, Lane, then I'd leave you a nice skid mark, I'm sure you'd love it.
