Tom’s Done With Mopeds

So my buddy Tom had a nasty crash and got himself a concussion a while back. He decided that he wanted to play it safe moving forward and get out of mopeds. I totally get it, just like me he’s a dad and for his kid’s sake he’s concerned about not getting randomly reduced to hamburger. It’s probably something I should think of, but I just can’t, I love the feeling of riding on two wheeled vehicles too much.

So he had a few peds he was selling. A pretty nice minty stock Mobylette 50v, a Peugeot 102 that he’d just finished restoring and a Peugeot 103 that was mid restoration. I’ve always kind of wanted a Peugeot I think they’re pretty awesome peds. So he thought of me and asked if I wanted first dibs on it and I told him fo sho!

So Here’s what I got….

Lot’s of assembly required, I want to keep it mostly stock to begin with. I’m just taking my time greasing this, and cleaning that as I go through everything.

I thru a stock high torque engine together, but the cylinder was really bad. I didnt think it would work. The walls were rusty, and even after a good honing it was still pitted. I figured I would see how  long it would last. Well it lasted about 100 miles. The last 15 mile ride home were fun, super slow take off but would creep up to 38mph. It didnt have much compression and didnt sound real good either. When i took it apart today to replace the cylinder and piston, this is what i found. 

Greg couldn’t make it to the weekly ride so we thought we’d surprise him and drop by his house unexpectedly.

Looks like this video I stumbled accross tonight is a couple of years old, but it’s new to me. Very cool!

I just picked up a Peugeot recently and have started restoring it. I’ll post some pics soon, but this video is inspiring.
