aka 1962 motobecane mobylette av88. did an engine rebuild to replace the leaky seals, threw on a varplus, and added an early 60s av89 head for far higher compression. runs like a charm. still need to redo the electricals as the lights dont seem to want to cooperate at the moment.
Fast fast moby is almost done. All that’s left are the cosmetics: mag wheels and some powder coating. Setup includes: 70cc Parmakit, 19 PHBG carb, Ninja g3 pipe, Doppler ER3 variator, Honda Hobbit front forks, giant aftermarket rear shocks, chrome brace bar, VLX-style seat, custom drag bars, and hardwired electrical system.
there was a scooter rally that a bunch of kHz went to in boston. the video that fuel shot is great and seems to talk more about the mopeds than scooters. see corey kHz talk about mopeds.
the orphans are killing it right now. a hit article in wired with rad pictures, and a hit viral rally video:
