Its pronounced pooch
Gotta build a motorized bicycle perfect for your channel i can help you build a motor i build 66cc motors that will get you to 50mph or even a true 80cc motor all about preference check my vids out
Buy one Tomos is like a puch but better.
Just in case you didn’t know, I’m only 4 mins into the vid, if you loosen the carburetor on the intake part to the engine and tilt it all the way so that the bottom is facing the other side, you can slide it off and on without taking the top off.
Good video!
Dude, there's a guy who drove one of these from Mongolia to Austria. Damn things are indestructible. God bless Austrian engineering.
My ancestors are Austrian. I live in the US though and never traveled to Austria
Simple engineering.....less to go wrong
I'd love to see a maxi modified
@@itsmephil2255 I have a modified maxi
@@chrismaz100 what can you modify on a moped? I’m assuming maybe just a higher CC engine or brakes? If you can’t tell I’m not into mopeds or motorcycles but i have an interest in them
@@ammarisrar2005You can modify a ton of things on a moped. You can nearly double the top speed, but taking it too far will result in an engine that won't last very long. The first thing is to increase displacement. You can go all the way from 50cc to 80cc, though the cases have to be machined for the 80cc cylinder. You can shave the head and raise the compression ratio. You can use an expansion chamber exhaust and a larger carburetor with richer jetting to get more air/fuel mixture into and out of the engine. The ignition timing can be advanced slightly. You will need to use high octane gas. I have used panty hose stretched over the carburetor to allow more air to get through than an actual filter. If you are chasing absolute speed, you can run slightly higher gearing, and narrower high pressure bicycle tires for less rolling resistance. Use low handlebars to help reduce wind resistance. If you plan to go that far, plan to spend a lot of money and do a lot of work on what will turn out to be a very short lived machine. Don't worry about brakes. Only ride it wide open in a place where you don't need to worry about brakes. You wouldn't have any traction with high pressure bicycle tires anyway. These things were designed to go 30 mph max. When you double that, you can't expect it to be safe. But that is part of the fun of it.
A Puch was Made in Austria Not in Australia 😂🤙🏻
Also its a moped not a scooter
@@DuKbuK2 Ofcourse Its a Moped you Can also say Motorised bicycle
@@eutschi77 true true
Same thing to an American!
Danke
I had one of these in the early 80's. I loved it. During the gas crisis I rode that and could fill up for a week for $0.40 cents. It would have a problem every so often but I could always fix it by taking it apart and putting it back together again.
Yup… same here. Every once in a while it would vapor-lock on me… simply removing air filter and tapping the carb usually fixed it. Did a complete carb clean one time when that didn’t solve the vapor lock. Was able to ride that thing for 1000’s of miles. Ended up selling mine for around $600 in 1986… at the height of the moped craze in my state.
For 120$?
Damn, in that condition in most parts of europe we pay 1000$+
Yes he paid good
For a good one now 2500$+
2000 $ in Switzerland
"Its leaking oil. Lets take it for a rip"
hahahaha
really? Wow. Umm, you can tell the difference between a gas engine and electric right? 🤦♀️
@2Stroke Tyson no you haven't you would melt a bearing in seconds
Jajajaja that is not 4 Stroke that is 2 stroke and supose leaking oil that not problema un 2 stroke motora🤦
if it leaks oil it has oil
i have 3 puch maxis and only one of them doesent leak oil so
Puch is made in Austria.
Not Australia.
"Let's throw anotha shrimp on the barbie then". lmao
Got one myself. A 1988 Puch Maxi L (L for luxury) with pedals and suspension rear and front, made in Austria, dutch model. Has cost me about 1k euros so far. Half for the moped, the other half for parts.
I live in Denmark, Puch Maxis are culture here, they’re quite expensive.
It's nice to see Jayde again. She is very pretty. You are a lucky guy, Joe. lol. Congrads' on being a new Homeowner. I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Love the Puch. I use to see one or two when I was in college. I hope she loves the bike too. Jayde seems to be handling it very well. Good for her! You two enjoy your life now and your new home. Now your Father can finally say," Get this stuff outta here!" lol Keep the videos coming. I still need to learn so much more. Again Bro, you two please stay safe and healthy.
Lmao JADE its "clapped"
Girl knows her stuff!
@@wd-40everything65 just put some wd40 on it and it be As new
I was going to post the same thing. LOL
puch pronounced pooch, from austria not australia..... aussies don’t make much certainly no bikes. think that’s a puch maxi first bike i ever fell off
Actually it's more like "poorh" or "pookh"
* it's the same kind of "ch" as in the Scottish pronunciation of "loch"
Aussies make heaps of stuff motorcycles included.
@@shedenvy691 Austrian not Aussie.
@@SandlotRider More pook. As in Pookie.
@@curtjenkins8854 in English sure: if you're used to pronounce the name of Bach "bak" then I guess you can also say "pook" instead of Puch 🤷
Used to own one when i was a kid. Really strong and good quality moped. Maybe even better than the 2stroke Honda mopeds of that era.
Just found my wife’s 1985 maxi sport which she bought new and left in her dads barn about 35 years ago... bringing it back to ours soon and hope it,ll start as easily as yours, hers has a kick starter and 6500 miles on the clock.
My grandad had one of these a puch maxi, he used to ride it up and down the toe path to open the locks on the canals for the barges, fun things, you two make for a great couple, always keep faithfull and love each other forever, 🙏🏻❤ from🏴🇬🇧👍, oh happy independance day,🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I own several. I pronounce it "pook" as in Luke or spook. But according to a magazine ad from the '70s, it is supposed to be pronounced the same as "hook" or "book" Doesn't really matter, they are wonderful mopeds, and an icon of better times. That one has the 2hp, 2 speed ZA50 engine, which will haul my 240 pounds up fairly steep mountain grades. It also has the 5 star wheels, which are the strongest and widest of the 3 wheels types offered on Puch and Puch/Kromag mopeds. However, it also has the weakest shocks available on a Puch, with the small springs inside. If you are on the heavy side, it's best to upgrade to the super heavy duty shocks with the much larger and stronger springs on the outside. Air filter assembly is sealed. You can still buy new ones. New Bing carburetors are also still available, as well as all the parts to rebuild the old ones. Same for almost every part of the engine/transmission. The one serious weak point on a Puch moped is the way the cable attaches to the throttle. The one other issue is that the gas tanks tend to rust, and they are a structural part of the frame. On the stock Puch exhaust, there is a seal between the muffler and header pipe which is prone to failure. It is normal for them to spit out oil from there. The seal is replaceable. The exhaust can be taken apart and cleaned. I absolutely love that smoke trail. Mopeds are supposed to be pedaled. They are just there for legal reasons and to start it. Why is the mirror on the wrong side? Go to a Tractor Supply store, and you can get regular nozzles for gas cans. I can't believe you got that for $120. You can easily get $1500 out of it, maybe more.
in 1988 my 16 year old brother had this exact moped, color and all. He worked at a restaurant inside a small airport 8 miles away. He drove it there, but at 10 pm whenhe got out, my Father would follow him home on it in the car. With the Puch headlights on, on the back roads. My brother never let me ride it. I would love to score one.
Nice find. I remember being 12 and my neighbor had one of these. I always wanted one but never got around to it. I just just finish restoring a Yamaha Zuma for me and my wife to putt around at the beach. Unfortunately beach plans have been put on a holding pattern this year because of everything that has been going on.
Pooch is how you say it.you can tune these into little demons,my family have a house in France and the kids ride these around and some of them are bloody quick . your fiancée did well on the Puch,she looks like olive oyl .... do you look like Popeye! she's really pretty and your a lovely couple.
Those are fantastic mopeds. Extremely durable and tough. In Denmark we used a worn rusted out Puch Maxi to tow a trailer with another moped in it for about 12 miles. Even with a flat rear tire and a fat guy riding it, the Puch kept going all the way home. These are amazing bikes few in the U.S. know about or appreciate. I hope this story helps.
US citizen here: I owned one 1985-1987… awesome moped. It was far better than the Honda PA-50 which was the most popular moped at the time.
These were huge in the US back in the 70s and 80s. 15 year olds now just want to stare at phone screens and play video games.
I had a puch dirt bike 50cc 2stroke and it was very fast for an automatic transmission. And snappy on take-off. Love your videos keep up the great work
I bought one new in 197 and I still ride it. They were NOT made for peddling the go way to slow when peddling. The only problem I had was the 90 degree resistor at the sparkplug went bad and I had trouble finding the problem. I am 82 and still ride it. and love it.

Congrats on the new place and a shop of your own! Start saving for a bike lift table and get to know your neighbors and hopefully they will not give you any grief over your projects and a little noise! You scored 5 of 5 squirts 💥💥💥💥💥 from WD-40 for finding your own nest! Jade don't be such a stranger Joe needs all the help he can get lol!
Good morning from Montana wd Everything!
@Sky B good morning from Ohio and can you believe Joes all grown up now with a house a shop and a great gal? Cinderella story ain't it?
Hi joe what camera do you use?
I picked one up for 40 dollars and it’s what got me started to do what you do. You inspired me.
Really enjoyed the video, I know its an older one, but I recently picked up a Puke....lol, mine was the same issue as yours, with the carburetor, and the sticky throttle was just the twist mechanism, needed lube. but thanks for sharing, also enjoyed watching Jade ride it, lol, good job! "its clapped" The pedals are awkward on mine too, its hard to describe it without actually trying it. I keep telling my wife she needs to ride ours to work. shes only one mile from where she works. Havent talked her into it yet.
I had a similar one when I was 13 me and my friend would ride it around the valley and we added a portable CD player with speakers so we had music while riding. We would jump it and mud bog it. The best $30 for the bike😂 fun times
Just picked up one myself it's been sitting in the garage untouched since 92 that's when I was born it's a sweet ride man good video
I like Jade's goofy sense of humor.
She said “it’s clapped” 😭😭😭
Hey looks like a great house congrats man! If i can offer you a tip when your removing pad staples off floor u could use a dull scrapper with some force. I use a ice breaker its way faster than pulling one by one. Keep up the great content
You crack me up!
It’s not a dirt bike you kick over 😀They were called mopeds and I had an early 80s black Garrelli with the gold mags. You pedal it on the stand or ride like a bike and engage the clutch to start and just keep going once it starts.. I loved mine.
Magnum x or minicross...
Puch Maxi are just beautiful. Love them, I just restored my own one 1974 Puch Maxi L. Rund smoothly, 35 mph!
Great content!! Love your channel!!
Still have my '82 Puch Magnum 2spd. Moped.
Did a few minor mods.
Had a guy rework the 1st gear clutch, so it would stretch a bit longer before shifting to 2nd gear, shortened the intake piston skirt about 2mm, mils port work. Bike ran easy 40mph. Had a different cylinder, with a single ring piston, ported, ran almost 50mph!
I raised compression little too high, preignited, melted part of piston dome around the compression ring.
His must be an '82 as well, same colors.
I have a Maxi Sport from 1979, I have installed what is called a "cigar udstødning" making it pull a bit faster, and it also has a foot-brake instead of hand, very fun to drive must say
I owned that very one. Super solid. Got me to work every day when I was 15. Upgraded to motorcycles as soon as I could get my license :)
Is that front tire a little low on air?
I had one yrs ago how much do you want for it
I used to pick these up and Honda/ Yamaha scooters between $50-150 literally bought my first house buying and flipping mopeds and scooters
This is an awesome video! Keep the content coming. She hasnt been in a video in forever.
I’ve just bought one, it’s a 1976 year I was born. You have the cooler looking one. But in a way they all have that cool retro look now. Good video🙂👍
Bro how do you find all this stuff?
You are the best . Keep it up
How did you find that it looks brand new
Congrats on the new place!
"Will it run?" Quelle question... Ça fait six ans que j'en ai un qui était à mon cousin et à ma grand-mère avant lui, l'entretien est super simple, ça ne consomme rien et c'est juste incassable... Un petit kit et un gros coude pour le laisser respirer et lui donner de la force et vous aurez un véhicule de qualité autrichienne supérieure, plus joli qu'un scooter... Si seulement on en trouvait encore à 150$ chez nous... Ça fait plaisir d'en voir à travers le monde entier, good video boys :)
DAMN Son! I don't know what's prettier, Jade or that mini PUCHE Bike? 😆😄 Congrats on the new place man....2Vintage will be moving there? Or still filming from your house?
I haven’t watched it yet but it was a banger lol
I’ve loved mopeds since I was in high schools. Graduated in 1991. I had a Honda but wanted a tomos they had the 2 speeds. I had a friend who had one. I’d love to find one of these 2 speeds now
"Looks like it spilling out some oil, let's take it for a quick rip" hahaha
Title's should read: "Will it ever run right?"
How much money can I make off of this hobby that people enjoy... I have money to buy low and sell high, and don't feel any guilt about it, probably would buy a atv for 500 and sell it to his cousin for 2500 without fixing a thing
What exactly kind of mopeds are these called? In interested in getting one one of these days
They are called "mofa". It's short for "Motorisiertes Fahrrad" (MoFa) or in english: motorized bicycle
You a pretty cool dude,happy 4th to you and jade,cool little moped to play around on..
Like ur vids, these are very common in the Netherlands! I have riden em too!
Is dit Jurre rhe Lil Toad?
Hello guys, does he need to register with the DMV for, plates and a license??
My first bike ever at 16 never stopped since the cc’s went up but the same sensation
Nice bike man. Is it for sale? I'd like to ship to Massachusetts if possible?
Congrats on the new pad.
What was causing the trail of smoke ?
Hi Jade! Congrats to you both!
Looks like a nice quiet sub division do you think your new neighbors will be okay with you working on bikes and testing them?
My step brother had one of these when I was about 12 years old, I use to blast it about up and down the garden when he went out! He must have wondered why the petrol kept disappearing! GREAT FUN :0}
Good video man
Great video !
Silly question... If a moped can be throttled, what's the pedaling for?
That's how you start it
@@AB-dl1hz Thanks
puch over in denmark are so expensive a puch like that with numbermatch goes for about 1500 dollars
I had one of these back in the day...mine was blue. It's pronounced "pook" I rode the hell out mine...
Take the can off pull the silencer out and clean it with brake cleaner. They get gummed up pretty good. A buck twenty is a steal! Nice find!
Better than walking back in day 😊
Nice place.hope u get along with neighbors .looks like u share a driveway..goodluck
lol Your dad loves that thing. Good present for him.
That's hilarious motorsports 101 make sure it's filled with gas first!
Jade is stunning . Lucky man. Is the Puch hers?
In Amerika gibt es auch Mofas?
i own one of those and you need to put 2% oil in the gas. so 1 liter and 200 ml two stroke oil.
Gonna be weird seeing videos from a new garage
He didn't make videos from his previous garage, so I doubt you'll see any from this new one. He'll still use his parents.
@@miket7345 duhhhh put every thing at his parents :) who doesnt do that
Amigo donde puedo conseguir una de esas
nice bro!! i'm from brasil and here we have some similar motorcycles. Every child wants to buy it in 90's. if you're curious about, it's called Caloi AV7, Caloi XR and here it's called "Mobilete"
its so funny how akward she is :) those silent moment camera pointed at her nobody talking :)
LOVE IT
If you put a charged battery on it your light should should be alot brighter and horn will actually be loud enough lol or maybe it just needs ridden a bit to get woken up real well after sitting
Cool video! Try a 70cc in combination with a Pollini or Proma exhaust for even more fun. And a 15mm carburetor of course 👌🏽
you better put a tuning cylinder on that thing 😂 the kits are pretty cheap and easy to get 😄 even on amazon i think
Welcome back to the videos Jade!
We have lots of those here in Denmark mark. They are really expensive here. I have one my self a puch maxi K
What a Steal for the we Moped looks in good nick !!
You're lucky to have found a woman that shares your interests and very pretty as well.
Kinda Crazy to see one in Canada/Merica/australia
They are pretty normal in austria🔥
Good stuff ur a lucky guy and she doesn’t mind u filling up the garage with stuff lol
Iol
My ex wife didn't approve of my projects and toys so I kept my junk and got rid of her! 👍👍👍
WD-40 Everything I would do the same tbh
Great deal on a cool machine!!
with any 2 stroke a rust free tank is the first and most important thing. A filter will NOT remove the micro-fine rust. clean, etch and coat if rusty. If not you are lucky.
Sick 2 speed
If you got 1 for $120 that's a steal
They are going for £1500+ here in the uk
Personally I prefer the kick start version over the pedal style 😎
for really cheap parts check jmpb.nl they have for most vintage models. " dont buy the cheap puch carburettor tho"
a complete set of cables from them cost me the same as if i bought a single rearbrake cable here.
i recommend you take the fuel on/off switch out. there is a tiny filter behind that usually gum up.
also filters on the pipes going into the tank.
i dunno if the one you have got the resticted block and cylinder.
does the exhaust mount flat or angled on the cylinder ?
Yeah I hate those new style gas nozzles with the spring loaded things on them, real annoying when trying to fill up something like a push mower.
Did you buy that house or are you renting?
My first dirt bike ever was a puch magnum x. Damn thing tried to kill me!!
Y’all live in wisconson right???
Hello Jade. Super cool bike.
Cool bike I’m thinking of getting one
before i see the hole video... so cool u got a puch :D i own to my self one whit kickstarter and 1 whit pedals... no rear springs tho they are called Puch maxi P and K in denmark (
rigid frame )? also they have the E50 engine not the 2 speed :P
hej dansker
jeg har ogs en puch maxi K
We used to take this shit bikes up the woods,I remember 3 of us on it at the same time going downhill through the trees
