The new guy.

Post by e-Pirate »

I just grabbed an old scooter that was collecting dust in a friend's garage. He didnt know anything about it so he let me have it and I researched it until I found what it was; A Honda Spree. So here I am!

I hope to rebuild/restore this thing and learn something new about engines/auto-crafting in the process.

Two or three wheels and street leagal, yes we call it a moped.

If the pocket bike is street legal, yes, it would be registered as a moped in michigan.

search northren michigan craigslist for "moped" and see what you find.

hey, :confused: I'm pretty sure a 2008 zuma has no pedals


search for scooter, and you find this crap
