Legit place and they let you have a good look around without hassle. Their other stock is usually on the pricey side but they seem to flog on cheaper stuff. I imagine quite a bit of their custom are old folk going for an upgrade and going around the corner to their local garage, despite the stock being expensive.

spartacus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That interior doesn't look much* worse than many '80's offerings, it must be fucking dire with 50cc though. A strong tail wind is your friend! Dirk Diggler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 What will an unrestricted 'road tune' 50cc two stroke make, 8hp? That's a complete guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That'll probably be a Mobylette-based engine - in road tune they don't make much more than 4bhp (the engine in mine is 3.5). You can tune them to a lot more, but then they become peaky as f*ck and thus completely useless for powering something as heavy as that Ligier.

spartacus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That's what I thought. So, with two people in I'm assuming you'd have to plan your journeys carefully, no steep inclines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wouldn't fancy climbing the Alpe d'Huez two-up, but those 50cc microcars were so comically low-geared that they will manage a reasonable incline before grinding to a halt. The flip side of course being that at 6,000rpm they're doing about 22mph. spartacus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Are they chain driven or direct drive?
