For its latest release, the innovative commuter bike company Motoped is looking back to the age of board track racing. This form of motorsport, which rose to popularity in the United States during the 1910s, was conducted on rounded racecourses made entirely of wooden planks. The very first vehicles to ride on these exceedingly fragile and dangerous tracks were a very distinctive type of motorcycle.
The new Motoped Cruzer recreates many of the iconic design elements that made the board track racer so unique. A hand crafted and brushed stainless steel tank, a Brooks saddle wrapped in aged leather billet, and fenders of 100% hardwood all converge to hearken back to a bygone era.
At the same time, however, the Motoped Cruzer stands on the cutting edge of modern technology and convenience. Thanks to the Cruzer’s incredibly efficient 49cc engine, you can travel more than 150 miles on a single gallon of gas. Want even better gas mileage and don’t mind a bit of exercise? Simply disengage the motor and take advantage of the Cruzer’s foot-powered pedals.
The Motoped Cruzer is also highly customizable to fit your distinctive lifestyle. Want to hit the waves? Why not install a surfboard rack? Want to tote a cooler full of your favorite beverage? The Cruzer has you covered. And Motoped will be releasing other Cruzer accessories and attachable components on a regular basis.
