When $500 is Too Much
« on: October 10, 2012, 03:07:34 AM »

My daughter wanted to ride to school on ELMO (Yea, that's Electric Motorcycle.....) long before those rear footpegs from Zero appeared.  Here was my ten year old's solution when I told her I could not take her because I did not have rear pegs like on the other bike :)


oops...  working on how to get pictures here

Go for the "Additional Options" and you can copy a photo from your computer files as long as it is no more than 500K in size.

If it was me I think I would have put those "passenger footpegs" in the big hole of the swing arm and not the one on the frame. That would give your passenger more legroom and a better positioning for supporting themselves when you hit bumps.  While the swing arm does move up and down, I don't think that the location of the hole moves enough to be a real problem for your passenger.  There have been some major brand motorcycles in the past with the passenger pegs on the bike's swing arm and that seemed to work for them.

We'll give that a try as she grows.
