      @@MopedProblems of course!!! I myself am being a bit biased as I am looking for info so I can purchase a moped more second hand because unfortunately for me I don't have enough money for a new one let alone one rn so my best bet would be to fix up a moped. This video helped open my avenue of what I need to do on site, I greatly appreciate it. I hope one day to purchase a bike from your shop, or to come visit soon. Thank you for responding :)

    Watching this stuff takes me back over 40 years when I was one of the Pioneer moped maniacs of the 1970s in London...fs1es,ss50s,ap50s,gileras...the world was my lobster...it's great to see today's youngsters having the same sort of daft wild fun that only a moped can bring

      Moped Problems
      The TSM is a white top tank. Stripped down and made to look more motocross like the TSE was back in the day. Knobby tires, electronic ignition and delorto 15 mm carb. Stock and reliable is for me. The wife rides the 103. Step through because she is too short for a top tank. Painted green like the old 103SP. Got it set up the same way engine wise.

    And 1 Zundapp 529.
    If parts are hard to find you should look in the Netherlands.

    Pedalling one of these home is only slightly faster than walking.
    Always loved these little things but parts for most of them are not available at all. Some things available for Puchs, Vespas, and lots for VeloSolexes. I gave away my Batavia because the special primary belt for the M56 engine broke and none are available anywhere. What they sell online don't fit.

    • @MopedProblems

    Hi man. I’m almost 16 and I am looking to buy a good trustworthy moped that’s 50cc. I don’t wanna spend more than like 700 and I want a used one. What model would you recommend. I want a 4 stroke one

    • @MopedProblems
      @MopedProblems  4 роки тому +1

      Hey James! If $700 is your budget, a used bike will have to do (don’t buy a brand new $700 bike, there are various brands that offer this and they are problematic and poor quality). If its 4 Stroke your looking for most affordable scooters are 4 Stroke. Find a used Bintelli.
