Moped type thing or anything with two wheels, an engine that goes!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am thinking ahead to June and Shitefest 2016 and the need to get to the gate from the camping area and around the site. Being a fat lazy old man walking around for 2 or 3 days is going to hurt!

 

So I am thinking I need to buy a two wheeler to get around, I need it to start readily and run well and I would quite like air in the tyres but I don’t need tread, lights (I can always tape a torch to it), brakes (I can always land into a tent!) or a MOT for cheapness.

 

What have you? How low can you go?

I've still got this goped thingy if you fancy spending time in a&e

 

Is it a proper 'go ped'? How much?

What's a proper goped then? It's got two wheels and a two smoke engine that's about all I know about it.

Will take some pics and post them up.

All these seem a bit new, I fancy something older and while it would be useful if Hairnet could ride it home for me legally I am not planning to use it on the road so some sort of old running wreck will do fine and I will collect it with a trailer.

 

OK so cheapness is what I am looking for!

 

This was the last moped I had in 2010 and I did have it on the road but did not enjoy riding on the road and being blown around by lorries.

I like the idea but at £299 not a chance as a field bike.

youd have a willing customer if you didnt break it :D

that came up in my under 100 search first on ebay but ignored it - they dont open on weekends - or at least you cant collect on a saturday - ive tried and they wouldnt let me

 

it runs thats all you want :D

 

lexmoto are the best of the chinese peds and theyre 800 new so second hand anything else is worth the root of fek all second hand - direct bikes are 5-600 new and utter shite so sh wouldnt touch them with bekos :lol:

Cat C Chinese shitter with no documents - I'd be surprised if it made three figures, therefore ideal :-D

 

And if (when) it breaks down, much Shitefest entertainment can be had from games of Fix The Chinese Ped After Drinking Bargain Booze Super Strength White Cider.

There is always my Vespino but it is probably over budget as it owes me 250. It will run and ride though and most stuff works, the brakes are crap though.

Here have a better picture. Looking at some of the other ebay offerings the Vespino looks good value (but then I would say that). It is also possible to pedal it for when it breaks down. Delivery possible as well if your not too far off the M4 and about next friday evening.

Much more what I had in my mind’s eye when I started thinking about this and I like the fact it comes with its own "mothership"!

 

Truth is I did not realise how much old bikes are worth and it seems my best bet is going to be a damaged Chinese thing! I am short of undercover storage so it will be sheeted down outside when not in use. I just want a field bike mainly for Shitefest and then very occasionally for a bit of fun. Mrs Cyl is suggesting I use our 3 wheel horticultural truck as my runabout for Shitefest but I fancy a two wheeler, if I can find one cheap enough!
