The mad ramblings of a moped nut.
eMoped Article
Preface: This document was written with the intent to find a starting place for discussing the future of E-Mopeds and how they pertain to current moped laws and definitions. It is not meant to be a definitive answer, nor should it be. Before we begin this journey, we will need to get some definitions out[…]

About US
Following the eclectic adventures of a nomad and his vintage 1980 Pacer Super Sport moped.
Our adventure starts in the fall of 2014 with a 1400 mile road trip from the great plains of Omaha, Nebraska to the east coast lands of Providence, Rhode Island. Our mission? Acquire a vintage 1980 Pacer Super Sport pedal start moped and let nothing get in our way. Well, OK, maybe to also do a little sight seeing along the way, but mainly it was for the moped.
The moped was in pretty bad shape when we picked it up. So we made it our next mission to restore the Pacer to its former glory (With some custom touches of course). During the restore process we thought, âHey, wouldnât it be a cool idea to document the progress?â Thus began the process of resurrecting an Instagram account that had been quietly collecting dust.
After the rebuild it was time to ride! The Wandering Pacer is about the adventure of exploring new places and figuring out creative ways to get a vintage moped into the photo of those places. So come join us as we ride until the wheels fall off.
