Winter is almost over, which means it’s time to drag those neglected mopeds out of the garage and get them ready for riding season.
Motor City Riot and Detroit Moped Works are proud to invite you to the 4th Annual Get Your Shit Running for Spring, a free community wrench weekend dedicated to helping riders get back on the road.
Whether your bike won’t start, needs a performance upgrade, or you’re finally tackling that project that’s been collecting dust all winter, we’ll have the shop open all weekend with experienced builders ready to lend a hand. Bring your moped, your questions, your parts, or just yourself. Even if you don’t have a project, come hang out with Detroit’s moped community.
Detroit Moped Works will be on site throughout the weekend with parts and supplies, making it easy to grab whatever your build needs. If you already know what you’re planning to repair or upgrade, let us or DMW know ahead of time so we can help prepare for your project.

We’ll have plenty of tools available, including:
• Full workshop access
• Welding equipment
• Sandblasting equipment
Please note that painting and powder coating will not be available.
Food & Swag
Admission is completely FREE, but we’ll have snacks, drinks, and exclusive MCR swag available for purchase throughout the weekend to help support future community events.
