1978 Concord XKE

1978 Concord XKE is a moped that you don’t see around a lot.  This Concord is built by Joe (https://www.instagram.com/theroadhaus/), he rebuilt the moped from the ground up.  He had to modify and repair some frame issues. An XKE is powered by a Minarelli two-stroke V1.

The original moped came with a solo seat.  Joe had to cut down the post and seal it, in order to fit the seat.  This is important and impressive because the main step-through tube of the frame is the gas tank as well.
