Benjamin Dalkilic I love my Moped. It was built in 1977 or something like this. It cost me a lot of time and money to repair it. The color is also very beautiful.My DS 50 is yellow. But a nice, shiny, friendly, sunny yellow. I love to drive with my moped because I always remember the song "Born To Be Wild" ! My friends also love to drive with me on my moped because it is just wonderful.

Chris --I got the moped from my grandpa and i am trying to find some replacement parts! Why I like my moped?--I liked alot more when i didn't have two vehicles other wise. How do others react?--others were jelous at the time, like when they would have to walk and i could drive. Do i have somebody to ride with--I had others that had mopeds and we would race around. plus i have gotten pulled over on my moped 2x(speeding)(just kidding, it was riding double!!)

Ken I like the looks of this Moped I recently got, and the concept of getting 150 miles per gallon (and if I can ever find out how to fix this Moped I just bought, I'll finally realize my dream). Currently the Moped gets great mileage because it just sits there while I pedal my weight off (what a great exercise bike). Is there any place a person can get owners manuals or repair manuals for a Vespa Ciao Moped? I don't know what year it is, what size motor it is, where to buy a headlight bucket and other
such information. Anybody have a link to Ciao specialists? I like it so far, and I'm anxious to drive it, and perhaps get a Scooter in the future (the Piaggio X9 looks awesome though they seem to want to keep the specs confidential at the Piaggio web site). Thanks..... ken

Matt Piccirillo Hey moped fanatics! I have a 1980 Puch Maxi-Luxe with a 70cc piston kit, 15mm carb, Biturbo exhaust and a 38 tooth rear sprocket. I like my ped cause it sounds like a big dirt bike with the biturbo, and I feel like a million bucks when I'm riding it because its mine and I built it the way I want it. My other freinds have peds too. One has a 1999 tomos Targa LX, another has a 1991 jawa sport, another has a 1983 sachs eagle three, and the other has a 1977 motobecane mobylette.

Rif Addams Hi, I was given a bicycle with a Zipper Bicycle motor on it July 4th 1999. My friend was moving to Illinois and didn't want to lug it along with him. The bike itself was a basket case so I bought a middleweight '63 Schwinn Typhoon and have done alot of modifying after mounting the engine upon it. I now have a generator and headlight. I love the thing! I am currently searching for a gas tank, I am hoping to get a Hercules Corvette tank, but would settle for a whizzer tank. I just need to raise some mo
re cash and hopefully find the tank. Am also saving to buy a 26" bike speedometer. I can't explain the feeling when I'm riding; it's like all the stresses and worries of the mundane world just slide away. I am just caught in the moment. Here. Now. It also brings back alot of childhood memories, and for just a little while I get to be 9 yrs. old again. Just me and my bike , rolling; free as the autumn breeze...
