Swedens coolest "epa traktor"
When you turn 15 here in sweden you get to decide between getting a moped or a “epa traktor”.(Or why not both?)
Most of you probably know what a moped is but an “epa traktor” is what you are seeing in the image above. In this case a Merc 190. For it to be classed as a “epa traktor” it has to be chopped, not roof chopped but so it has a flatbed (kind of :P) and the gearbox must berestricted so it can only go 30km/h.But most of the teenagers here in sweden usually dont care about that tho and drive it around like a normal car.
This is where the passion for cars start for many teenagers here in sweden, norway :)
English isnt my main language but I did my best :)

Don’t they have ridiculously short gear ratios so they get to 30 km/h really quickly?
Yeah, what you do is basically put another gearbox on the gearbox.
That is also why most of them are rwd.
One thing that has gone trough my mind.
If you are 15, and get one of these “epa traktors” Drive it for 3 years, and then you are 18, and get a license for a car.
Now, Can you register it as a car, just by removing the restictors? and after that just drive a car that has been converted to pickup?
Yes you can register it as a car agian but it is not wort it becuse the price of the A-tractor and EPA-tractor is way more higher than a car that would look exactly alike.Here you can look at the price of the A-tractor, http://www.blocket.se/gavleborg/mopeder_a-traktor/a-traktorer?cg=1120&w=3&st=s&ca=5&is=1&l=0&md=th&c=1122

Oh, that’s nice
Got one too, built it myself
Waiting for a hakosuka photo to appear magically…
I personally think my classmates old epa is cooler than that one. But that’s just my two cents.
I think you are gonna fly of the ground in 30km/h with that spouiler….
