UK moped law
from wikipedia The term moped describes any low-powered motor driven cycle with an engine capacity not greater than 50 cc (3.1 cu in) and a maximum design speed of no more than 50 km/h (31 mph). Machines registered prior to 1 September 1977 as mopeds had to have pedals,[20] but engine power was unrestricted, and many could top 50 mph (80 km/h) (most famously the Yamaha FS1-E or "Fizzy"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped pedals were removed in 1977 like I said

UK moped law
come to think of it were talking bollocks, mopeds were always fitted with pedals more of a necessity at first, its just that when the more powerful 'sports' mopeds were built they had to continue with the trend, it would be a better question to ask when were they not fitted? isnt your brothers moby a moped? pre 73

Yam WR125R wheel bearings
the bearings are often stamped/etched with a code, get this then you can source the new bearings from any bearings supplier much cheaper than dealer prices are you OK with removing them?, dont forget there is a spacer between them inside the hub
-
Coolant coming out of rear bottle
head gasket again, perhaps the old residue wasnt cleaned properly ...or if the bike was ridden to long when the old one failed it could have warped the head and so would require skimming
