DHAKA: What’s better than a survival vehicle that doesn’t need gas, but is happy to burn it when you can get your hands on some?

The new Black Ops edition of Kickstarter-funded creation unveiled by Motorized bicycle builder Motoped is such type of bike.

The company builds downhill mountain-bike style moped kits that buyers add their own engines to -- preferably a four-stroke Honda 50cc -- to create an on and off-roader that uses a unique pedaling system and rear suspension that allows for tons of wheel travel without the chain going slack.

The Black Ops features a naked frame design, military-green gas tank, of course, rear rack, and a list of accessories that includes a pair of one gallon gas packs, a tomahawk, a harpoon, a fixed blade saw, LED lighting system, tactical shovel, climbing rope, a selection of survival knives and even a Barnett Recruit Compound Crossbow that mounts to the bike, reports foxnews.com

Pricing on the Black Ops model has not yet been announced, but a full Motoped chassis sells for $1,995 without drivetrain.
