Moped Army

The Moped Army is a group of enthusiastic moped riders, originally formed as The Decepticons in 1997 by three college students at Western Michigan University. Eventually, as other moped riders showed an interest in creating their own branches associated with The Decepticons, The Moped Army was formed, with The Decepticons summarily becoming a branch of The Moped Army.

In its mission statement, The Moped Army describes itself as "...the organizational end result of an outcropping of moped enthusiasts throughout the nation." To that end, The Moped Army's website hosts a forum which provides a means for communication for the greater moped community, and many of the branches host public events throughout the year.

In 2003, Hardcore Productions released a documentary on The Moped Army, Swarm and Destroy. The footage was shot mostly at The Decepticon's BBQ 6 event, and contains many anecdotes about moped lifestyle and the history of The Moped Army.

As of Spring 2005, the greater organization is comprised of 19 branches, with roughly 300 members in total.
