sums it up much better then i can.
motor's not unobtanium, >$100 figure all said and done.
that being said, buying any non running ped, missing major parts, you had better be getting it super cheap, like under $100.
tl;dr, to sum up the above link:
" Avoid this, suck it up, and pay an extra couple hundred for a running one."
yes it is real cheap 40 bucks. its kinda got everything but the motor. so i dont know what to do or where i can find info on it.
As of 7 days ago, not sure now, Brad Money is/was selling what you need. Go to the BUY+SELL FORUM, and look for the VESPA SALE thread. I just asked how much it was, to bump the thread near the top.
for $40, i'd say buy it, good score, worth it in parts usually.
but, keep looking for a mostly complete runner, seriously.
what is your skill level? on a scale of 1 to 10 (i'm a 6 or 7/10)
again, one of my "regrets as a beginner" is not holding out for nicer projects.
if what you're looking at is a rusted turd, it'll never be nice without a ton of money and time invested.
way more then it's worth, prob.
but still a good project you can learn the basics on, dump money into, no hurting it i guess.
my average ped costs <$200,non-running, dump another $200 or so into plus a ton of time.
$50 tires, tubes, $40 cables, $10 chains, $45 motor seals, bearings, gaskets, it adds up fast.
ciao is a frame tank, be very careful to check it's not totally full of rust, perforated.
and get a look at the subframe.
caveat emptor.
You should just pass on that Ciao, and ship it to me instead.
+1 for buying it.
Ive got a parts ciao wit a complete motor, If you do get it..
I paid 45$ for my first ciao. I've got over 600$ into it now though so it definitely can get pricey, and very addicting.
If you want a decent ciao read here's my re-build thread for the bike. I've stopped updating it though.

Ciaos are my favorite peds. Ill probably never own another bike.. Next will a 2-stroke motorcycle.
My first moped was a Kamasura...no joke...what a mistake!
