If you live in an area where everything is close these are amazing. Low-mid 100mpg...fill up once a week depending on your commute haha.

Thanks Frank, currently the only thing I have left that I can make is the swing arm. I cannot place the tank without the forks, and I cannot make the seat without the tank in the final place on the frame.

I showed my dad the video of you jumping your Puch, and he couldn't stop laughing. He wants one now.

I'm like less than 3 miles from everything in my town.


May end up picking one up this summer!

I give you the front brake hub adapter for disk brakes.






Now I just need to make a plate to attach the caliper to the forks. Also need to tap the pattern, had to buy a tap off ebay. Should be ready to go soon! Now I am focusing on the swing arm and Cafe style seat/cowl.

Nice bling bling bit there! You have it turned by a local machine shop?

I may have to do one of these Ped builds once I finish up the fatty Ruckus I have been building for ages. Honestly I would want to steal alot of the ideas that you have included in your build.

I also have a Show Scooter that is built on the Honda Helix platform. So I into scooters and potentially Peds as well.

My neighbor has a machine shop 20 feet from my house. He turned it down since it is his stuff. I am in the middle of buying my own <3 Cannot wait to start making goodies.
Do whatever you like bud! that is why I make threads. I get tons of PMs from my builds on how nice and easy it makes building stuff.

Total cost of the brakes:

Avid BB7 brakes: 68.00

M5x0.8/M6x1 taps: 10.00 shipped from ebay

Adapter: scrap aluminum

A metal turning lathe can be a thing of beauty in the right hands. Amazingly reasonable on the cost of the parts to put together the brake setup.

/Scanning Craigslist for moped mode engaged

This is fantastic. I am so jealous! I was in the army in Germany in the late '70s (yeah, I'm old) and mopeds were everywhere. I was really into 2 stroke tuning and had this dream of trying to set a speed record with one. That never happened but watching this thread reminded me of that. Keep up the great work and I want to see it when it's done. Oh yeah, really nice job on the frame.
