I removed two foldable chrome footrests from my baja sc50 and I want to put them on the jonway, but i"m kinda reluctant. It needs to be re-enforced somehow so not to break the plastics. I picked out a comfortable place for them too. Good for long rides.I am going to figure something out ;D

I saw a guy with some pegs on his scooter a few months ago in downtown that looked pretty comfortable. He had someone riding with him and probably does that a lot so he mounted those pegs. Big guy, actually big girl on the back, too ;D

My wife and I ride two-up all of the time. We've been known to travel up to 350 miles in one day. The Tomos Nitro only had a narrow shelf on each side of the seat for the passenger's feet forcing one to angle your legs back in towards the scooter at an uncomfortable angle. The frame underneath the plastics had two hollow joints (on each side) facing outward at the perfect angle. It must have been to mount footpegs on the frame for a different model. I carefully cut two holes in the plastic and hammered a wooden dowel into the frame joint on each side and then covered them with black rubber hosing. It was meant to be a temporary solution until I found some folding pegs that were the correct length and diameter. My wife found the home made pegs so comfortable that she didn't want to change anything. Here's a pic of the scooter, sorry I don't have a close up of the pegs.   The front floor boards are very roomy and have a cut out to place my feet very far forward, no pegs needed for the rider. |

howdy, yup, i'm having the same dilema having just returned from the longest round trip. as you indicated the foot rest area is so narrow that there is no place to move your feet and the toes stick into a niche for that purpose further restricting the angle you can move to. that was my main discomfort during the two 130 mile stretches without a fuel stop( i mean no fuel even available). 130 miles from bend to burns oregon and about the same from burns to i-forgot-where. i fueled at nyssa oregon and it was 134 miles. on the way back i rode 160 miles till i fueled , from meridian idaho to la grande oregon.
anyway, if anyone knows of a way to add road pegs, i'd like to see it.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya

I ride using the second person pegs on the back, way more comfortable for me
