i just picked up my moped(motorized bicycle?) today from barrie
here is a video i made,
YouTube - my 1976 motobecane mobylette cady,
in the video it was running on 10 year old gas and was the first time it has been ran in about 5 years,
i cleaned it up and put in all new gas, its 10x faster now, hmm well to compair it to my 80cc HT kit, my HT had more top end power, but no low end, my HT was loud, very loud, this bike is very very quite,
so quite my elderly neighbor thought it was electric, it starts great, very easy, alot better than my HT
its good on gas, about the same as my HT, it has built in dynamo which puts out 6 volts, the light are bright, a bonus, it does around 40kph, one thing is very strange though, the intake and exhaust port are on the same side as each other, right beside themselfes, so how does that work? and the carb is very strange, it has no bowl or diafram but a slide tube that fills with gas and has a cylinder float in it,
all in all i like it better than my HT because its so quite and easy to start, its also very comfy!

you see for sale every so often on craigslist. Yea the frenchies do some weird things to motors, I was working on a peugot car once and it had an off the motor drive shaft cooling fan on it with an electric clutch. Dangest setup youve ever seen but clever. If the bike has been sitting that long if it were me Id be checking the brake pads out and the bearings for grease and lube every thing.
