Ultralight bike?

[Jared]

I spotted this near my house in Ogden. Anybody know what it is? With the styled plastics and graphics, it looks to be something factory, rather than a one-off or college project. Looks like a hybrid dirt-bike, downhill mountain bike setup.

Also, looks like he has some ultra-light riding gear! Almost like wearing nothing at all.

Mo-ped? I'm gonna need something like this for my wife.

Yep, motoped.

I wonder how well they would do on trails like AF Canyon singletrack... bet it would be a blast!

Here's one built up, but new and for sale- http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/4829322138.html

Looks like it uses a lifan 150. super reliable motor, super cheap part to hop up.
