Flakmoppe full speed

This three wheeled vehicle is called a flakmoppe in Swedish. The prefix "flak" means "carrier" and "moppe" means "moped."

 

There a lots of these things on the islands in the Stockholm archipelago. This is on the island of Möja.

 

Most of these are small two-stroke engines with pedal assist for starting and hills. However, there are some that are four-stroke with battery starting.
