This is a great video, a bit dated, but very informative. They show "True Mopeds". If you are interested in a Scooter (no pedals), you can check out my video at youtube.com/watch?v=Rz_V03RORgc I am a pro camera, and edit man and did this for fun one Saturday afternoon. Your video is very detailed, and shows some real gem mopeds! Good Day.
LMAO !!! I wiped out on mine once. I was "coasting" and had to scratch my head (helmet hair itch) and I took off my helmet. Joe W was passing me and he accidentally bumped my handle bars. I went head over heals. then one time I was pulling Eddie B by hand, he was on a bike. It was my first and only ticket I ever got!
haha the old moped days, jasons used to do about 45mph, he pulled over by whitney think, i used to take mine off road and jump it in the woods, mine was $550 brand new in 1990, now they are more than double that price.
wow... I can't believe how innocent the late 70s were. The narrator and actors were so sincere and caring. Nowadays they would push toward looking cool and macho. Back then they even threw in a cute allusion to "Mike" getting the girl! This film is more valuable than any modern scooter manual or film.
Alter Schwede, wie schnell dürfen die in den USA mit ihren Mofas da fahren? Bestimmt 40 oder 50km/h. Man die brauchen nicht mal ein Nummernschild für ihre Mofs. Mhhh da mit meinem NRG zu fahren das wär echt geil, keine Bullen die dauernd nur Geld wollen und ihre Scheiß Prüfstände die eh nicht stimmen. Wie sieht das aus, wird in den USA auch die Mofas und Moped auf nen Prüfstand gehauen und die Geschwindigkeit kontrolliert, oder ist das denen scheiß egal?
watching this video makes me want a thomos sooo bad!!! i have a new school moped/scooter...the dealer didnt do any of that stuff with me.. the just took my money and gave me the title...no parking lot tests....lol
Mopeds, like in old times, not be manufactured anymore. These days scooters were manufactured. But the old Mopeds still exist. In Germany a Moped with pedals are called 'Mofa' of the two words 'Motor' and 'Fahrrad' (in english: Bicycle) cuz of the Pedals. The "real" Mopeds got no pedals, they mostly got Kickstarts, there where called Mokicks. The word Moped comes from Austria.
the word moped comes from sweden ffs... we invented the moped and the first moped camed in 1952, i think it was an nyman. the word moped comes from an journalist who combined the words motor and pedal. I actually owe an nyman automoped that was the second model ever made.
I think Mike might be gay! First, in Part 1, he sees something he likes very much and it's not the chick and then in this part, he doesn't pick up the hot bra-less blonde with the small titties!
At 3:15, moped dude committed a fatal error. He moved right to let the car in traffic pass, but almost got nailed by the car making the right turn. Always assume you will be drilled by cars, and you just might live.
This film was TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!! Do you REALLY think Mike would have passed up that little blonde just because the narrator told him not to pick up passengers? He would have been like "Gas, grass or ass?" :)
The throttle on my moped sticks so you can use your right hand to signal. Very handy.
