50cc Moped T&G

[Cavcraft]

Kymco Agility indeed, sounds like a Korean dog training class. Naturally, it's pretty horrible but all being well it's going to be eclipsed by something a thousand times worse.

I think I prefer "Kwolity RS"

I also like the phrase "cheap"

[Cavcraft]

I've been offered £135 for it so far, which in fairness is probably not that far off what it wants to be, considering it's sans-MOTand shit.

[UltraWomble]

So £150 would nail it?

Running OK? Lights and shizzle work as they should?

 

1 hour 34? Sounds like a challenge to me....

 

Or perhaps I can hire a van :/

[Cavcraft]

Lights work, runs reasonably well would suggest a service would help. He said it flattened it's battery ina  few hours but it's been fine since the brand new's been on it. It took a few goes to start, sounded well when it did but (and bear in mind I'm seventeen stone plus and about 6ft 3) it felt like it needed to be a bit quicker on the uptake, that based on a 50 yard run anyhow. It also tickovered then stalled a couple of times but light revs hold it ok. I've only got the right hand side of the V5 but both keys, and the plastics are snapped in two places, plus there's sure to be a couple of other daft things with it. 

 

Ps Blackpool one hour on the nail if you welly it in a car, not sure how long to Preston. It'll go in the back of a small van ok so a C8 shouldn't represent a problem should it come to it. He said, hopefully.

Bugger that - if it runs I fancy riding it back to Preston on the A & B roads like a B0Ss

There's a whole £5 discount if you do.

[strangeangel]

I'd be all over this if not in welsh Wales.

 

 

Something a bit closer to home for Sir?

 

 

A brace of top quality TGB mopeds, loaded with optional extras like V5 documents, currently standing at £6.11 with less than 3.5 hours to go. I reckon you could easily make one good one from that lot.

 

I'd likely have a punt on these myself were it not for the fact that the BX is still away having the clutch done, which is probably for the best really...

Ooft, nice find, those Golden Bees have gone right in my watch list. Derisory bid in 1 hour 17 min: Guaranteed.

And conveniently local for me. Despite the obvious supply of parts in the pictures, I think you'll still beat me to the road/field with the Elyseo if I should win.

[Six-cylinder]

I still think it will make at least £30, maybe £40 at the end.

 

Just for fun add you prediction for final bid, closest wins, mine is £37.50!

Not far off there

 

[Dave_Q]

Yes it was me, I would have gone a bit higher than that so happy at £32.

 

Here's another one that popped up as a related item, ending soon, although at £13.50 already it might be a bit expensive.

I paid more than that Thursday night for a curry out, the curry is now a fading memory but I would have preferred a pair of festering mopeds!

That does look sad!

Top job! Looking forward to the build thread

[UltraWomble]

How are you getting on with the £32 thing DaveQ?

This in the meantime looks delightfully grim.

[Dave_Q]

How are you getting on with the £32 thing DaveQ?

 

I've had it turning over but not starting, one of the starter motor bolt holes has a snapped off bolt in it. 

 

I need to drill out the bolt and helicoil it, I'm gonna helicoil the other hole as well while I'm there as I think it's had the wrong size bolt cross threaded in there or something,

 

I actually have the right size helicoil kit but the holes are recessed under the engine so I need some longer drill bits, also it's cold in the garage so I'm indoors faffing with pushbikes for now. 

 

 

TL;DR - minimal progress, back burner because cold.

Current high bidder.

[UltraWomble]

Would like a SGX50 used to have one many many moons ago ( 1997 IIRC)

[strangeangel]

Great to see this thread pop up again... I have my eye on another p̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶p̶  potential project moped as we speak

[hairnet]

wave or innova ftw

I've had an Innova and a Malaysian Wave copy at different times and both were very good. It's not one of those though!

[Dave_Q]

SGX50s are decent, once upon a time I worked as a battle rider for a national pizza concern.

 

They were just in the process of retiring the SGX50s and going over to wanky fuel injected Peugeots (Looxor or something).

 

The Peugeots were dismal, as low as 20mph up a hill and needed about a mile run up to achieve 30. The Hondas were better built and did 32mph up or down hill, even with me and several peoples dinner on. They got there pretty quick too.

 

Recommended.

[gtd2000]

Just sold my 50cc Peugeot Ludix Trend the other month.

 

 

 

Was quite a nippy little thing that would show 75km/h down a hill.

 

Fancy a 4 stroke moped for "keeping in the back of the shed" duties...

[Dirk Diggler]

Any of these pedal things could have the plates taken off and be used by children or drunk people here; by an interesting loophole, any motorcycle with the alternative power of pedals is exempt from the road traffic act

 

Now I want one

 

Edited to add: I'm a long way from a child so maybe closer to the second exemption

[Dave_Q]

This isn't technically a 50, but it looks like it belongs in this thread of horrors.

In other news, does anyone fancy my £32 moped shaped jigsaw? It keeps slipping down my to-do list and I'm unlikely to do anything with it anytime soon.

 

 

There's a second frame as well, not pictured, have V5s for both frames. 

 

I'd like to say there is almost certainly everything you need to build one full bike, but what that actually means is there is about 3 full sets of plastics for some reason, and only 1 set of clocks which are damaged, and probably other stuff missing.

 

Price: £33 so I can tell myself I've made a profit.
