Rico says it ain't cheap, but it'll take you damn near anywhere:
Regardless of whether you’re looking to disappear into the woods for a weekend, or if you’re trying to do some prepping for doomsday, Motopeds has the answer for you. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the company already sells an innovative half bicycle and half dirtbike mashup, but it is about to take two-pedal adventuring to an entirely new level with the upcoming Motopeds Survival Bike (photo).
Starting with what looks to be the same basic frame as a standard Motopeds product, the Survival Bike ditches the motocross-style look and adds more rugged standard equipment, like the rear rack and two side-mounted jerry cans. The true cool factor of this machine comes from its amazing list of optional gear that can all be fitted somewhere on the frame and rack.
The available options range from mild to wild. For the casual adventurer, the Motopeds Survival Bike can be equipped with a mount for your iPhone or GPS, a mini-LED flashlight and a few multi-tool kits, but those looking to go a little deeper into the woods might want to consider features like a climbing rope with carabiners, tools such as a survival shovel, harpoon, and an axe and, yes, there’s even room for a compound crossbow. The image above shows what the Survival could look like loaded up with all its gear.
Although there are still few details about the Motopeds Survival Bike, the company does list some interesting aspects on its Facebook page, including the ability to run a Honda CRF50 or 70 engine and get fuel economy somewhere in the eighty to a hundred and twenty mpg range. Likewise, pricing is also being withheld for now, but Motopeds says that pricing will be announced soon and it will be “very affordable”. For comparison, a rolling chassis version of the standard Motopeds bike will run you two grand.
