For the ladies, this is the second cutest little thing you can put between your legs.
Most people don't even know what a 'mo-ped' is, and think it is just a small motorcycle. WRONG. Its definition is very restrictive and LEGAL. The engine must be smaller than 50 cc, have automatic transmission, must be pedal-started and pedal-operable, it cannot move faster than 30 mph on level pavement (Incidentally, even 20 mph feels very fast, and you might not want to go faster!). The benefits of a mo-ped are important. In Florida and most states you don't need insurance, helmet, or a motorcycle license. This unit was bought by a friend (slightly used) in the late '90s for his young daughter, but she didn't use it much, then got old enough for a car. It was never tagged for the street. It sat for years in a warehouse. I bought it for chasing parts at my little factory. It was in sad shape and the fuel system was a mess. I replaced the fuel valve and lines, and rebuilt the carb. Also new tires and tubes. I just had the carb rebuilt again. The little machine is now perfect. I have used it many times this week. Includes (bug-eaten) original owner's manual and maintenance records since 2011. I have now sold the factory and no longer chase parts, and use the bicycle for groceries, so the Tomos needs to find a new home. Advisory: ANY time you don't expect to use the machine for more than a few days, you MUST turn off the fuel and run the carb dry. This is because of the ethanol. It gums the carb badly. If ridden regularly it is a joy and pleasure. Makes for a real contrast in your day, for short runs to the store or whatever. Starting the machine requires good leg strength and a bit of (acquired) tactic. You will figure it out. |
