Anyone who takes the time to keep an old vehicle on the road, even if it uses a little more unleaded than a Prius, truly is an eco-warrior. They’re not buying new machines that have used more fresh kilojoules to produce. The young American hipsters are recycling machines that have been left to rot for decades. Secondly, because the machine was made decades ago it has more than done its duty in terms of raw material payback. It is a motorised praying mantis, so slight that owners all over the world have taken to riding with their legs crossed at the ankles and their feet on the bike’s spine. It didn’t require a lot of energy or raw material to make it in the first place. If we’re are considering how ‘eco’ a vehicle is, a Puch Maxi – the machine of choice for the burgeoning Moped Army – is as green as it is cabbage-looking. Perhaps that goes some way to explaining the explosion in moped gang culture across metropolitan America in the last couple of years. So, with that incontrovertible truth on the table, it becomes obvious there are few machines greener than a 30-year-old moped.
