I wish there was a way to attach something to the frame. Hmmm...

Here is my solution for foot pegs. These pegs were purchased for a Yamaha Zuma 125 that I had and I was able to make them fit my Sh150. Actually All I had to do was elongate the two bolts holes. Moving the pegs forward a few inches suited my needs a little better. Originally the pegs just bolted up to pipe and stuck straight out. I'm sure that any one who looks at the pictures and is handy with a torch and welder could make something very similar.

Wenzel, well done!.
Do you have pictures with your position using pegs?

What is the difference, when you are cruising with foots on them?

I know I wasn't pro pegs in my earlier post on the topic, but I like those pegs! I completely see the benefit. They widen and extend your leg room. They don't look too shabby either. Nice job bro! I'm curious, what's the wire coming out of battery access panel? Battery tender? Cell phone charger? I'd like to put one of those under the seat.

Hey Arbitrator

I hope you appreciate these pictures. I had to pay my brother a couple of beers to get him to model for me. He is 6 ft 4 inches tall and you can see he has plenty of leg room ( I have also removed the hump in my seat). My preferred foot position is in the last picture and it is more stable and comfortable than it looks. The only difference in riding is increased wind resistance because the feet and legs are no longer tucked behind the scooter and it will cost you 2 or 3 mph if your riding into the wind.

have a good day riding

HI bikeguy

Yes it is a power supply and I have several things I can plug into it. Plugging a cigar lighter receptacle or picking up a few extra 2 prong connectors to plug into it allows me many options including powering a GPS unit or about anything else you can think of. I do usually keep a cap on it. I thought about putting it under the seat, but at the time I was doing it I wanted the power up front.

You have a good day riding also

Hey Wenzel,
That's cool you have power supply set up like that. Do you use it when the bike is off also? Like to charge a cell phone or something? If so, ever have any issues with a low battery? I've though about putting a outlet under the seat so I can plug my phone in. Where/how do you mount your GPS if I may ask? Again, the pegs are awesome! The 3rd pic is pretty much how I ride normally too, but my toes are unsupported of course. You've convinced me pegs are something worth looking into.
Enjoy your ride!

That does look comfy. they look like they would limit your leaning ability on the turns quite a bit, any experience with that?

Hey ericman37

I'm 70 years old! :lol: I don't lean that far. IF I did I would probably fall off. Old bones are hard to heal. I do think the average rider would have no problems, and I do find them very comfortable
