Front wheel drive moped? The VeloSolex 3800!

Moped

From 1966 to 1988 France produced the kinda sweet VeloSolex (A 3800 seen here). They were more like a bike with a build in front wheel motor than a traditional moped, but I dig ‘em. Probably really rare in the USA. They topped out at around 30 KPH, so you wouldn’t have to worry about getting a speeding ticket.

According to THIS site, the tooling has been recommissioned and they are back in production today for your purchasing pleasure ($895 Pounds UK).
