    @@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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
