That is a pretty cool moped.

Very nice, but the Laura-engined Batavus mopeds have little in the way of aftermarket or parts support. Pretty much a 25MPH novelty for whoever buys it.

I'd say that's applicable to pretty much any moped.

Someone has never visited mopedarmy.com or treatland.tv before...with a 70cc kit and the right expansion chamber, you can do 50+ on these things.

I had a Motobecane moped that looked a lot like that Batavus when I was a kid.

Yep. You can spend a lot of money to extensively modify a moped to the point that it's generally not legal or particularly rideable, and will almost go as fast as a small scooter. Wee.

Otherwise, a moped generally tops out at about 25 mph. Again, wee.

For much of the TAT, 25 mph would be flying.

Not a bad bike to do it on though, in many ways. I think I'd rather try a moped than say a KLR.

I keep saying this.. Have 2 mopeds, interested in selling...

25mph is not an uphill speed, on a steep hill it becomes 17mph or so.

Starting. Pedal up, and pop the clutch.

no clutch..... Well it is a centrifugal clutch. Front brake on the right, rear on the left and the decompression lever under the the rear brake.

You hold the decompression in, pedal then release it to start. Not the clutch.

You'll need to log in to post.
