This past week, I was hoping to get an old EVG 24v, but the seller sold it before I was able to get it.
So, I'm back to square 1, looking for a cheap old-style moped for a conversion. I've seen multiple folks comment on their build requiring custom forks, so I figured I'd be safer to ask in advance - what mopeds (1970's-80's style jama, puch, etc.) are the /easiest/ to convert? I'm thinking a hub motor (saves space, less complicated?).
The older style moped is my focus because:
* Larger and wider tires than an trail bike
* General design will make it easier to haul my chainsaw and other small tools around the property
* Some also have the easier step-through design, less likely to throw my back out
After conversion, I won't need the foot pedals, and I won't be on public streets, just our property
I'd rather spend some time up front and get a conversion-friendly moped (hub motor), rather than getting any moped and later finding out that conversion is beyond my capabilities.
Or, if there are not a few specific "easy" models, what should I be looking out for (or to avoid), e.g. certain types of forks, etc?
Thank you!!
