I don’t agree with Jesse on this one.

Peugeot is much less “quirky” in my experience. Nothing is reverse threaded, and they accept normal bosch electronics. Comes stock with reed-valve. The forks and wheels interchange with puch. Also a lighter frame.

This bike is weird, because the swingarm starts behind the pulley. Most Peugeot mopeds have a long swingarm that pivots from the engine mounts up front. That’s great because you don’t torque and stretch the drive chain when you hit bumps. It sucks, because there isn’t as much room for crazy carb/intake shit.

This one has room for intake shit, since the swingarm starts half-way back. I’ve never seen one like this. Brennan O and Creature Lee have rigid 103’s with tons of room for intake shit, and wont stretch the drive chain.

I’m also putting forks on this bike from an 08’ tomos.
