MOPED ARMY

You should be able to get one for peanuts. (sorry just couldn't resist)

Armando,

Are you in the USA? Can you get a picture of the moped for posting?

I couldn't find much on searches for "Jumbo" and "Moped"--

I bet with a pic, we could figure out what kind it really is--

Beware of anything someone can get you a deal on by the container load. If these mopeds don't have some sort of factory support after they get here, they become "orphans".

The Zanetti is supposedly one of these. Also some of the Chinese models people have inquired about here would fall into this category.

Armando, where are you? In the states? I know some mopeds don't make it into the US at all-- I did check your post several times-- I hope I''m not missing it, if you did include it.

Your IP is proxy.aol, so that wasn't much help.

I want to know where they are selling "crateloads of mopeds" so I can move there!!

Seriously, though, I'd like to help figure this out, and knowing what country you're in could eliminate certain options-- I assume you're from the USA, but want to make sure.

let me know, keep us posted. Does the dealer have a website or home page?

Yours,

Wayne

Well at least a dozen once. Back around 1984 or so.

It was at a govenment auction where they were selling off surplus vehicles. Along with them was a bunch of mopeds apparently supplied to the Dept of Transportation for testing purposes. I recognized some brands, but there was one wierd one in the bunch.

It looked like a motorscooter, with a rear body and front shield, but it had pedals. The body and shield were if course very narrow. Don't recall the make.

Since it was a selaed bid auction, I don't know what they went for.

Yeah,,as an Avanti Autopower moped owner , a moped which seems to have something breaking on it every week, I will never buy another new bike that doesn't have a dealership close , within easy driving distance of my house. I guess it's better to buy a couple of used bikes and rotate them,ride one and fix/wait for parts for the backup bike then to buy a new imported bike from a 3rd world country, have something break on it every week, not have the dealership close by,and then have to wait months for the slow boat from China/ india to make it to the USA with replacement parts..... I am learning the hard way... man, I wished more moped shops would open or that motorcycle dealerships would get more invovled with mopeds... my moped is major transportation for me, not a teenager toy...I need something reliable to get to work, pay the bills,etc.
