No key ignition to start. Just a kill switch to shut the engine down, or decompress to stop the engine. The key lock on top of the fork is a fork lock.

You are right but in order to show the procedure I needed the moped in one spot. The camera was on the tripod. I usually discourage people from starting the ped on the stand.

In my forty five years of riding I have never destroyed one.

I can do it since I'm careful and only 158 lbs. But I have seen totally bent stands. Older mopeds used to have much sturdier stand made of steel not pressed ones.

Thanks for the comment, keep on mopeding.

is there a key ignition?

[ihatestupidsignups]

I wouldn't stand on it and peddle, the last owner of mine did that and the centerstand was bent flat. I I just walk with it a few feet and it starts. I had a lot of fun trying to find a replacement stand in decent shape.
