Scooters/mopeds/motorized bikes—whatever you wanna call them—sound good in theory. The idea heads south quickly, though, as soon as you see a 30-something roller loping his fat ass off a bike that looks like it was made for high school kids. Not a good look, Sparky. Which is why the motohybrid Derringer Cycle gets our tip of the hat. The throwback to the 1920s racing motorcycle is spot on. You have the option to pedal it like a standard bike, be propelled (top speed is around 35 mph) by the Honda-built 4-cycle engine or use part motor/part human power. With 180 mpg and no special license to operate, we’re sold. Check ’em out at 7954 1⁄2 West 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA or visit derringercycles.com
