Totally a moped
and if it’s not, it’s not for the lack of pedals, its the oversize engine, that makes a bigger legal deal in ALL states, not just the few with the pedals distinction.

Anyhow, I still consider it a moped because it was designed with pedals. It’s a moped with the pedals removed. It’s still a moped.

Hi there

Funny to see all the french guys waking up on this site, to the sound of the so famous 103.
I guess during the 80′s one out of two french teenager had one like that, and there was so much challenge around the tuning of this thing that you could see a guy on his 103 bypassing you at 60mp/h + (specially in Reunion Island where I live)
Now that the teenagers are grownup, people start to rebuild and collect those jewels

Peugeot 103
The top half of the frame is all custom, but the engine, swing arm, seat, and forks are all from a Peugeot 103.
The motor case is the upgraded Polini kit with the watercooled top end. It would normaly have pedals but they have foot pegs sliped over the ends of the shafts.

In Germany a 50 ccm bike without pedals is called “Mokick”.

This contraption reminds me of the puch maxi sprint conversions they do in the Netherlands. They drag race them every year at Jubbega some 30 Km from the Assen circuit. By the way do call them mopeds since they were originally built with pedals.
