Chuck it off a cliff....

It's the only worthwhile thing doing to it.

The 'Restriction' is on his licence... not in his vehicle.
You want to remove that restriction, you need to ask Parliament nicely to change the law.
As for the Moped? Well, again, its the 'Law' that makes it a moped. You can do what you like to make it exceed the legal specifications for one, B-U-T.. since the major specification is that it shall not exceed 30mph... doing so makes it pretty bludy obviouse, that if you are going faster than 30mph it ent no longer a MOPED.... as far as DVLA and registration is concerned its a MOTORCYCLE... so, it would need to be re-registered as a modified vehicle under the new registration class, ensuring that it complies with all C&U regs for the new class.. Mopeds dont.... and to ride it, you'd need to have apropriate licence entitlement.

Why don't you buy him an R1, and stick the Jog's number-plate on the back? May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, and it's just about 'as' legal... starting with using a vehicle other than described by the log-book, through to riding other than in accordance with licence entitlement, a few counts of obtaining insurance by deception, and whatever else they can add to the rap sheet like exceeding speed limit for vehicle type, in between....

ALL to go, how much faster? AND be bang to rites 'govner; moment they catch you going that bit faster.... pottentially bike siezed and disposed of; points, fine, ban, and uninsureable for however many years after that.

Personally, I'd just hand him a tool-box and let him get on with it.... bike'll probably never move again, saving a lot of problems, and he'll be back on a push bike, which if he pedals hard, is probably faster to start with!

Translating from Teff to Tl;Dr...

'de-restrict' it and it ceased to be a moped and becomes a motorcycle. DVLA must be informed of the re-classification.

Lad needs a minimum of a provisional motorcycle licence to ride it.

If he rides it without that licence hes:

Riding other than in accordance with his licence (fines + points)
Driving without insurance (points and bigger fine).

If he attempts to insure it as a moped when it's actually a motorcycle then he commits fraud (don't even go there).

If he gets followed for 500 metres by a police car at 35mh, and plod knows bikes and the law then he's into hundreds of pounds in fines, bike confiscated on the spot.

Motoring convictions must be declared when applying for insurance, and I believe nowadays insurance companies can check the relevant databases themselves, so his first base model Vauxhall Corsa will cost him as much to insure as a Ferrari would cost me, that's if anyone will quote.

Washer in variator.
New exhaust and rejet.

Ignore faggots crying about law breaking. All have exceeded the speed limit at some point.

Having just spent a month riding round on a standard 50cc ped I'd highly suggest derestricting one. It's dangerously slow.

Breaking the law is Breaking the law. No one need cry about it.

Pay the fines at a pound a week.

Meanwhile enjoy life.

Most of us have got two or three decades before we get hit by a bus or by cancer. Somehow, a young jack the lad actually having something of a good time on his moped doesn't really rate compared to that. Isn't that where most of us started or did I miss something?

I wish I'd had a lot more fun back when I were a lad. The cops and the government be damned. They ain't never been much use to me and I imagine they ain't never going to be. If they want some respect out of me they can earn it. I bid them good luck with that. Let's just hope they can keep their hands off the kids while they're going about it. I bid them good luck with that one too.
