revive, finally got one.
Knee has been hurting from years of skateboarding, and now i need a break from commuting in the city on my fixie.
And my car pretty much sucks to drive on the daily.

So I picked up this Puch for $660.



runs pretty good.
pretty quick but creeps off the line.
needs a lot of minor work.
bunjy cord is holding the rear of the seat in place.
forks in front are a little lose
wiring could be redone
fenders vibrate at speed, might just remove em.
wiring needs cleaned up
turns off by grounding the remaining ignition wires on the gas cap, lol

lot of fun though
gonna go by a shop called Choke after work and chat the guys there up and get schooled on moped stuff.

Otto347

Picked up a Puch maxi tonight in hopes of buying. Its been sitting for a long time so first thing is to get it running. Then comes the task of getting a title for it. Owner has since passed away. We'll see.

Those Ruckus things are pretty dope, I would pick one up if it didn't rain so much up here... Whats the deal with legalities? Do you need an M1 to rock one in Cali? Do you technically have to register it and have plates and insurance and all that since its under 50cc?

ericcastro

next project has been arriving.

Fairing from treats
got the frame and paperwork off ebay for $80 shipped.
gas tank needs attention though, lol




went from a 13 front gear to a 18, think its to steep.
but i just rebuilt the engine after the starter plate center bored itself out and locked my rear wheel doing around 50 down Barham in traffic.

So after I dial the clutch a little and get that carb leveled and tuned, i will decide.
right now i dont wanna stay on throttle since i had the whole case open and replaced the crank, so I havent been able to top the ped out yet.

Also got the PUCH so as soon as this is running again I will start messing with that.

Nice scoop!

Been building scoots for the last 4-5 years.

Here is one of my current one that I've owned for about two years.



Simple and clean one that we've built for the owner of Blox


Turbo one that was recently sold to our neighbors- Canada.


Thanks to Stickydiljoe for the photos, had to link them since I'm currently browsing their site.

Rear wheel and exhaust look good on the MET.

Searched, and bumped!

Recently got into Mopeds myself...I only live 2 miles from my shop, and was tired of driving the Maxima which gets like 15 mpg daily driving to work as it's always short trip around town/warm up mode. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Anywho, we always had this moped at the shop and never drove it. Was my grandpa's buddies bike. I finally got bored and went through the paperwork with it and realized it was titled and somewhat legal. Pushed paperwork through Harrisburg and voila! I now own a moped.

50 bucks in insurance a year, 9 bucks for the plate. PA does not require a M lisence (although I have one).

So my first moped, a 1976 Motobecane Mobylette. It came with a dimoby single speed to start.







So of course it was slow, so I self ported it. This fucker ripped, but the engine undoubtedly hurt an SPI (case seal). My max GPS was 42 mph downhill on the stock 20mph cylinder. Not bad. IT was gutless though downlow.

So with that being overported, I of course wanted to get another engine. Well that led me to getting another 2 Mobylettes, both 50v (variated!). Both were actually very complete, just needed simple carb cleaning and plugs. Got two running and rolling Mobys for 250 bucks as the old owner wasn't mechanically inclined! Woot!




The blue one had a nice runnign engine, so I kept that one aside. Took the Black one's engine and did a mild port, and decked the head for a mild high compression setup. Dellorto 15:15 upgrade, and this bike was a nice reliable 35 mph cruiser. Great in town, and 100mpg! Love it! Put a Varplus on it and she was nice. Still doing some varplus tuning but its' 90% perfect.

With all things though of course I wanna go faster, so I got a Airsal 74cc cylinder



This will go on my 'hot rod' setup on the Orange Moby. I hope it can do 50mph, that would rock. Mikuni Vm20 and a stock exhaust for sleeper q ship status. I should have that done in March, just too cold/lazy to do it now.


I also picked up a nice LEM, with a Morini M02. She's slow as hell, and lame...but whatever. I find more fun making this stuff run again. She needed one new plug for the condensor, and a carb cleaning.

Gonna Bump this thread, it is summer and bike season and all...

Started the tear down of my 85 Spree. going to 150cc GY6 swap over the winter.

pulled it out of the shed, and tried to get the stock 50cc af05e running.



that didn't happen, im guessing since it sat too long and after trying some carb cleaner and starting fluid it wouldn't start..

so the tear down begins.


before I gained intrest in the 240 more, I bought some used ruckus front end stuff. I cut my stock forks up to use the stem so I can weld it to the triple tree of a ruckus. which will make buying front end parts easier. plus its stronger than the stock spree forks..


mocked up and not welded yet.


I plan on running a brace in the center from about where the ignition is to under the seat to strengthen the frame.


progress will be slow but next on the list is a complete motor/wiring harness, followed by a set of low-down forks and disc brake front. new drag style bars/grips and controls. wheels of choice is gonna be an 8-hole style wheel (3 or 4 inch in the rear and 2.5-3 inch in the front). new lights and turn signals that are flush mount and sleek. new front fender that is small and low profile like the bike below. also what im close close to making mine look like. except with the spree panels unless I come across some smile panels to swap over..
