I was trolling the local U-Pull it yard and came across this.  Anyone know anything about them?

i have one with 2 gear..very popular in north europa for 20 years ago..that pedal are not normal..have you special moped regulations

[fmctm1sw]

Seat looks awful high.  What are you 'boen, 3 meters tall?!   

[strynboen]

im 1,85  meter;D    that seat are to low for a viking

[Really?]

Very popular in and around Huntington Beach in the early 80's.  They would put lower bars on them, bore them out, larger carb, different pipe and more.  I think they would get up to about a scary 70mph+.

ive got 2 puch MKII's. 78 and 79. wiring on these bikes are always a problem but easy to fix with a diagram. fun bikes very easy to get parts for. put a 70cc kit and bigger jet in the carb and new exhaust and you could possibly do 70+ i had a friend with one that was clocked at 73......lots of problems since we were 13 and had no liscense or anything but fun bikes!

As far as stockers, my sachs/foxy used to make a couple more MPH than the Puch's. Not as stylish as the puch, the down tube fuel tank just wasn't as cool looking as the top tube MC looking tank, but I always caught and passed any other puch I saw.
