The Pedmobile

The Ped mobile - may it rest in peace This 49cc Yamaha Pasola might not look like much but when it comes to the most fun you can have on £1.50's worth of petrol then this is the thing to buy.

This wonderful machine cost me a cracking £15 off a friend of mine. (That's about $20) It is about 16 years old and hasn't run on the road for at least 3 years. It's what I would call a "field bike" as it is only used off road as it is not road worthy.

The paint job took me ages with frequent trips needed by bike to the garage where I bought the spray paint only 3 miles but the extra 30 minutes between times was annoying. I was pleased with the results and it has kept the thing looking a little more respectable.

Well nothing lasts forever and after broken handlebars, a bent frame and a busted head gasket the ped is in a bad way rotting around the back of our garage. One day I might get it going again, we'll see. This page is dedicated to the ped, long may it's memory live on in the minds of all who travelled on her.
