Check to see if there are amy part available for this moped. If anything ever goes wrong wit it and there are no parts available(or compatible),then basically you have a nice looking pile of scrap metal :smile:

if i do believe treats has a ton of parts for that moped. shave the seat mount down so you can mount the seat lower, and put some drag bars on it, and it would be a pretty swell looking bike...

Being a Sachs, there is parts everywhere. rebuild kits are cheap, but the real problem is, its a Sachs.

Its a good bike, dont get me wrong, but it will never be fast. Your looking at like 27mph stock, and not much more then that. Even fully built (kit, carb, homemade intake, modified performance exhaust) your looking at like... 40mph.

If your just looking for a fun little bike to blast around town then by all means buy it. Just dont think your ever gonna be racing it.
