Steam Powered Moped!
 
Well--it would be very questionable if this would qualify as a moped, but hey, looks cool. :)

Well, there is some ingenuity/engineering going on there; I'll guess 'steampunk' has a new meaning now! Thanks for sharing the video. 👍

from the frame to the power plant to the overall layout of the design, that is some good work! Impressive that steam could be scaled to fit a bicycle.

I've seen it scaled and smaller that that.

It does NOT qualify as a bicycle either. It has three wheels which makes it a TRI-cycle. LOL

Interesting concept. I wonder if it's road legal?

Cheers

Probably not in a lot of jurisdictions, due to the steam engine.

Probably depend on how fast it goes. Years ago a dude here outfitted a trike with a lawmmower/generator motor and a propeller, he said it did like 15mph.

Also there is this
