MOPED ARMY

That's really cool. Does someone sell the shocks to do this or did you come up with it on your own?

I have a Puch twingle carcass that I want to build into something like this someday, but big, I like the shrouded look with the big wheels.

I do have to admit that’s pretty bad ass and I like Olive color too

Nice work...I like this a lot.

Ziet er tof uit! Een Schwalbe staat ook nog altijd op mijn verlanglijstje.

Wow....

Hallelujah...

Annnd so shall it be..

Nice ride!

Thanks for the positive response my dudes!

Schwalbes are indeed pretty commonplace in (Eastern) Germany, but generally a rare sight anywhere else. I’ve had this one for about 5 years now, but igition issues have plagued it for the majority of that time. Could never it to go much over 60 miles on a new set of immitation ignition parts and original spec parts are simply not available.

Finally to give it the works by upgrading to a 12 volt Vape ignition system last summer. Pretty much every single related to the electrics on it is brand new right now. Bulbs to wiring harness, the lot. Those upgrades really transformed it from a hateful turd to a lovely, reliable daily ped. ;)

I will always yearn for a Schwalbe, but probably never own one.

Have also heard that the electrics are the Achilles are the weak point of the simson line.

I was reading back on what I’d just said and thought that is was maybe worth pointing out that aftermarket parts for the Simson are abundant. Honestly, while immitation parts for the stock ignition are terrible, almost all other parts are readily available and of pretty decent quality as well. One could almost literally build a whole new Simson with aftermarket parts more easily than a Maxi.

Does hpi or powerdynamo make one? Both of them make a lot of weird stuff if you did into the catalog.

All the powerdynamo stuff I ordered from treats is branded vape

I wish that you would speak coherently in well phrased sentences instead of these inane ramblings.
