Let's Build a Really Dope 2-stroke Moped - Tomos A55 LX (1/2) 

Thanks man, good job on your builds as well.

Thanks, Damn now that's flattering, but also something I've heard before. Hearing the stories people tell about mopeds falling apart, I get it 😂

Took one of my ridiculously long hiatuses but yeah I'm still around lol

How is life on the speed tripple? Was really happy for you on that bike, giggle meter was at redline.

Still got it, Still appreciate it although I tend to not ride it daily as much.

I've got this 4 speed 50cc Minarelli race engine that would go pretty good in that application lol. I'll probably show it in the next episode. I wish I had a frame to put it in!

Its often a balance of life in the form of time, but also just straight up struggle. The hard fact is that this youtube stuff doesnt pay me personally much at all and these script videos take like 25+ hours at the computer to make. This video in fact is barely making it over 1k views by the time you look at this comment.....and it is what it is yes, But in this case of absence I literally just worked a second job to get more out of those hypothetical 25 hours.

@@Theillestrator1050 Thank you for responding. I was just messing with you. Stay awesome, stay safe.

Nah I know, but you're so right that it was worth explaining lol

Thanks man

7:47 😂

Thanks Matt

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks man, I'll overlook the hipster call T_T

Lol, it's to capture the eyes of the hipster browsers out here and distinguish it from the flood of Chinese scooters we have in NYC....Most people ALSO call them mopeds so it's hard to split them up when searching ads.

@@Theillestrator1050 good point, hipsters love vintage

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed as well

Lmao thanks

Thanks Eddie

Yo! Great videos yourself. Thanks for watching.

@@Theillestrator1050 thanks!

Hey man, thanks alot, hope You're still well.

🥳🥳

Hope you enjoyed!

Thank you!

I'm a bit late to the moped game, but here I am now lol

@@Theillestrator1050 You will like it for short trips in the city. It is easy to park, secure, and will use less fuel that full on motorcycles.

That good old Bully soundtrack!

Loving it!

🤙🤙

It was pretty nifty though I never actually put the storage and rack back on the bike once its done.

Still kicking, thanks man.

Oh nice, shame I missed your visit

Yeah! I saw the chopper style mopeds complete with long front ends and sissy bars lol. I have a Minarelli 4 speed engine NOS.... I just need a frame for it 🤔

@@Theillestrator1050 I looked at pics from a Minarelli racing bike. Nice! With some customization you might fit that engine on a Suzuki GT50 frame, but 70's style moped frames are hard to come by.

Right I know the Racing TT model. I still have that ebike that I reviewed and I feel you on the simplicity and maintenance but yeah, this moped is tons more fun. My Ebike dont pop wheelies lol.

@@Theillestrator1050 Oh I haven't seen that video yet. I'm interested in anything 2 wheels watching now.

LMAO

It's one of the most popular and easy to mod mopeds in the usa. I'd say top three are Tomos, Puchs and probably Batavus. Then there's Garellis, Chiaos, Suzukis. Weird shit like AMFs and Kreidlers.

Yeah Tomos is pretty common here, I would throw the Honda 50s up there in popularity from what I've seen too. Jax, I'm actually sitting on a NOS Minarelli p4 but I have no frame to put it in lol

@@Theillestrator1050 Building a frame around it might be your next step in your journey. I have my old Kinectic TFR engine kicking around and thought about the same thing- an alumimum frame and belt to chain drive.

Lmao, JUST the sleeves??

@@Theillestrator1050 lol. I got springs too. This was about 5 years before anyone made coilovers for the mx73 cressida. They're still on my car. Lol

Thanks Marco

It does right? I ended up liking the step through look more after buying a top tank, but I sorta meet in the middle by running a small flat bottom tank.

@@Theillestrator1050 Hmmm interesting. Can't wait to see the final look you went with. I have no idea if this is available (just from a quick look on treatland.. quite the site indeed😂), but I think a saddlebag-style running down the frame could be cool. The only thing that looks like it *could* work in that config is the 'honda hobbit camino' tank, but it would prob need slicing in half and modding to all heaven, and that's without worrying about knee clearances. Something like that or a custom underseat tank maybe... One thing is, neither of those would have the range of the original tank, but it's not like anyone would go touring on one of these things.. hold up. Lemme take that back😂😂

@@sys-administrator I didn't know. But I do now. Thanks☺

Its been a pretty fun tool for around the city

I looked into those, I never realized just how potent people make these scooters and mopeds bro

@Theillestrator1050 ive built a few hot 50cc bikes Its crazy how much .5hp more hp feels like when you only make 1hp If that makes sense

On the outside! 😂

@@Theillestrator1050 i feel that deep! Gonna have any updates on previous builds or just moving forward from here

Yes I plan to return to the Virago, Likely after I knock out the videos for this moped. Also gonna keep modding the triumph.

Good to know lol.

Was just talking over this bike with some friends. Its like a much more reliable and unique Ducati Monster

Never underestimate the fun of lil bikes lol

Well here's what I bought www.treatland.tv/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=tomos-airsal-A55-kit-01210444&gclid=CjwKCAjwsKqoBhBPEiwALrrqiGmH8oyDxbd0t_iXgrbHBN1cOJomyOzQJrgNXWNODhXjBOm9z2ABxhoCVxAQAvD_BwE

The intake and exhaust I am running are labelled as a55, not Puch, and they fit flawlessly.

Is that a direct swap?? O_o

@@Theillestrator1050surprisingly I’ve used about 90% of the ‘04 harness on the new motor. Just a lil cam sensor issue I have to deal with

Hey man!

@@Theillestrator1050 Good to see you still up. I got orders to Japan so hopefully, I'll find another CBX.

To be honest I wouldnt even say you can pedal this at 8 mph. maybe 5 on a flat. I feel like the pedals are just for show...maybe to show the police lmao.

@@Theillestrator1050 LOL I see

Do itttt, nice little light project

Lmao, a lot tends to change in those months I vanish. Also I AM the fat chick 😂
