Is there a Rotary Moped? my co-worker said there 6 mopeds on this island with rotary in them. I'm never heard of a Moped having a rotary but I could be wrong because I hate those damn things. I tried telling him how the rotary works and that it runs hot and that you would never want to overheat a rotary but then he goes telling me a story of his friend that drove around the island in his water cooled rotary moped going 65 and the temp was at 300.

I have never heard of one, it would be interesting to see some pics of, would have to be a pretty small displacement on a motorscooter.



Does this guy know who makes them?

They are probably just rotary valve 2 strokes. A lot of people get those confused with an actual rotary engine
