Take a step back in time to a simpler day when mopeds ruled the streets during the gas Crisis now there is a select group of enthusiast's that take these machines to another level in fact they even have a racing circuit here down in Tampa Florida, you won't believe your eyes these things are rocket ships

Love to see the mopeds gaining popularity. I remember when these things were a common sight. I hope to have my velo solex ( front wheel drive) back on the road this summer.

They are gaining popularity, but it kinda sucks for those who want to get into a cheaper two wheeled hobby than Harley Davidsons. I'm 29 years old and when I was a young teen we were buying these things for peanuts and even getting them for free but now every rotted out obscure moped is going for half a thousand while the top dog models like the Puchs, Mobys and Puegueots aee selling for over 2k minimum... The new wave of affordable two stroke performance is the 80+cc engine kits off amazon that you strap onto a decent bicycle frame.

The high school that i went to in Perth Western Australia "LOCKRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL" bought 10 motomcain mopeds in 1981 and 15 of the best students where selected to take part in riding them from Perth Western Australia to Adelaide south Australia, around about 4000 K return trip and the mission was successful. I was not selected i was a rebel child. Some bloody people call them scooters and they are not scooters because scooter don't have pedals to those who don't know the diff. 😎💪🤙✌👍😁 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Out of 5 Australian's 😁

When I was like 13 or 14 years old me, my dad and brother found three of the same kind moped in a junkyard for $15 for all of them. We took two of them and used the parts from them to fix one up. I bought it from my dad for $50 and drove it everywhere I went, it was a 50cc moped. I leaned very fast that a moped isn’t made for dirt roads after I wracked it one day after the rocks made me loss control of it.

The "piaggio scooter" is either a Mk1 P range or possibly a Mk1/MK2 crossover model. In between Mk1 and MK2 they parts binned some together that are referred to as 'crossovers'. The crossovers are nice for racing because the frames are for some reason lighter than the MK2. But you can tell by the horncast. This one has the one with nice smooth curves. When it went to MK2 PX they changed to the 'boxy' style that PXs still have now.

I was fortunate enough to find a Puch Maxi mostly complete minus the wheels at a local scrap yard here in the Hartford area, bought it for roughly $10 bucks scrap price. Engine is spinning free but it needs a full overhaul. A few friends and I have been nuts for these old mopeds since middle school and I'm stoked to get my hands on another one. As I said in a previous comment, these things are going for bookoo bucks these days, I could sell my frame and engine for a hefty profit if I wasn't so dead set on building a nostalgia machine to relive my youth lmao...
