I’m not a fan of Puchs. They have all the after market stuff and are supposively easier to work on, but even the way the carb is strung up on hers is dumb. Mine is very simple, I can slide the carb right off to clean it without loosening anything but the intake bolt. She has to go through this whole process to get hers off. Basically for anything cool for a Sachs bike, you’ve got to have it shipped over from Germany/Europe. ---

Really though, there’s an aftermarket for mopeds? Post some examples. I’m fascinated by the lame/awesome mix of it all. ---

Yeah, I dunno why everyone says that either, because I bought this one not running and just by poking around at stuff, I got it moving in about 30 mins. Then I dsocvered it had crap compression and swapped the engine in a weekend, again, not a clue what I was doing. I think maybe folks say that because it’s easier to get Puch parts than Sachs parts. Who knows, I think the Sachs bikes look way cooler too, like an old school mini motorcycle. Puchs just look like a bike with an engine. ---

I love this bike: It’s a 70s Foxy with Sachs engine, all redone. It’s got the Biturbo exhaust I have on mine, and I can’t tell what the carb and filter are, but they are not original. All sorts of after market stuff here: [1977mopeds.com](http://1977mopeds.com) I’ll get some more examples from this Treats HQ place i always shop at, they’re in San Fran ![http://mykindofnice.com/mopeds/FoxiGT_black.jpg](http://mykindofnice.com/mopeds/FoxiGT_black.jpg) ---

> [@JayS](#): > > Well for one, traditional bikes are generally smart enough to keep to very edge. Most of the people I see on mopeds are right in the middle of the lane, going slower than the other traffic. There are actually times when taking the entire lane is safer than staying on the edge of the road. Particularly Sweet Home where there are no bike lanes (and bike lanes are kind of shady sometimes) and roads like that where visibility is important. ---
