Hey everyone,

Ive only recently begun getting into the world of mopeds. I want to get an older moped in decent shape that I can make better. Id really like to sit out on a nice day and tinker with a moped then ride out on it.

With that said Ive been really fiendish on craigslist lately, almost got a few peds.

What should I get for a model, though? Looking through these forums I get the idea that Puch, Tomos, Peugeot are pretty solid models that you can find parts for easily.

Ive been searching for a Puch Maxi. I like how they look and they seem reliable.

However when I called a guy up today about his peds, he said Puch is really hard to find parts for. What do you guys think? What are the benefits of the dif. models?

And does anyone have one for sale in New England? The closer to vermont, the better.

Also, Does anyone know anything about a derri or a derrie. Thats what the guy said but I have a suspicion its actually a derbi

Cheers,
Mark
