50cc loaded isn't going to get you very far off road when TSHTF .

Buy a WR250

neither bike listed would be comfy for my butt very far.  NO thanks.

neat idea, but as said, 50cc ain't gonna cut it.  I drove a 50cc moped and uphill pushing 20 mph top speed floored, downhill 30 mph.  Slow as molasses as well. 

Besides having to get a motorcycle license,  for the price difference of about 300 bucks tops at most,  why would anyone even in all town driving go for a 50cc vs. a 150cc engine.  At least most 150cc engines go fast enough (50 mph) to keep up with city traffic.

Pretty neat.

I have a mountain bike with a 31cc Honda mounted on it, climbs hills well and will do 32mph on a flat road.

Cool idea, but $3,500 plus shipping??

I'll pick up a Honda Ruckus and spend the extra $1,000 on a cross-bow and camping gear to trick it out.

The first paragraph says it had a 155cc version. I wonder if you could have them spec the frame for a Grom engine (125cc) or an old 200cc Honda dirt bike.

OK... I changed my mind...

I want a Moto-Scoot Sachs MadAss 125, then use the extra $1,000 to trick that puppy out.   cooldude

Is the gas tank an option?

Not 100% sure, but it looks like the center frame "Spar" is the fuel tank. 

So... looking at the size of it, maybe 1 or 1.5 gallons?? Good thing it's only a 125!!  Grin
