Mean Vintage Mopeds

This Custom 1978 Motobecane Has Some Serious Momentum

This custom 1978 Motobecane was recently souped up by Jarrett Petty of Austin, Texas with an awesome aesthetic that allows its appearance to match its power.

With enough horsepower to reach up to 60 mph on an open road, the moped also has some custom touches to help it look really cool. Just in case the serious horsepower wasn’t mean enough, the custom 1978 Motobecane also has things like a golden pair of brass knuckles and an in-your-face orange, black and white color scheme to make sure it gets the point across.
