CL moped
Re: CL moped
Nice moped, but 1500? Whew!
Re: CL moped
that's what old tried & true costs these days.
Re: CL moped
Damn, asking $1500 for the lowest of the range? Maxi n' s are cool but jeeze.
Re: CL moped
That’s a standard Maxi. Note the rear shocks. (edited)
Re: CL moped
$1500 for a well-preserved stock moped is not unreasonable.
Everyone is so quick to recall "I bought all 6 of my maxis for less than $150/each," and then don't understand why the price has gone up.
If you buy a lot of the limited stock of something, the remaining stock increases in value as it becomes harder to find. Add into that the expanding customer base and recognition, and there ya go. $1500 moped
Re: CL moped
Looks to be all original and in really nice shape with documents. If it looks as good in person as it does in the photo than $1500 isn't insane. Maybe for most if us it's way too high, but if I grew up in the 70's and wanted to relive my youth and had that exact moped, I could see myself paying that.
Re: CL moped
Yeah, nostalgia does cost us,doesn't it? You can buy 4 or 5 decent mopeds in Ohio for that.

It’s a fucking moped, they were never meant to be collectible! $1500 is stupid no matter what condition.
We are puting values on stuff that actually has no to lil value. Humans are insane! (edited)

Neither were rocks, and yet here we are paying $1500/ounce for gold.
Mopeds are vintage, and they are collectable. And as has been said, just because you would'n't pay that doesn't mean it isn't worth that much to someone.
Do you think I am EVER paying $1500 for a Maxi? No, because they hold no value for me. $1500 for a Revo? I might bite.

Dude stop say they are collectable or everyone will start think they are and also start thinking they are worth $1500. You as a moped enthusiast should do everything you can to make the general public think mopeds suck and are the worst investment ever!
Re: CL moped
This is a hard one, I would never in a million yrs pay that, but I can see where someone would, $1,500 is the $499.99 of 40 yrs ago...so..yeah. Older people (myself included) have a hard time with this idea, but if you are young $1,500 does not seem that out of line. A Honda Metropolitan (new) is like $2,800....crazy to me, but that's what stuff costs.
Re: CL moped
Shit, bicycles cost in the thousands today, at least with this you get an engine! ;)

Whether you say it or not, they are.
I am a moped enthusiast, but I also repair and sell bikes here in the city. I can be honest with a new rider, but people with money have demand and I have supply.
Re: CL moped

Re: CL moped

Nono I’m completely agree with you! Come to Massachusetts they give away here too! I built a dirt bike maxi with a free Puch Maxi I picked up! :)
I guess anything can be collectable but less not let that happen to mopeds! Get out ride your moped, brake it, fix it and do it all over again and do not have any regrets about ruining a perfectly good moped :) fuck yea
Re: CL moped
Yeah I diddnt even look apparently.lol my n had those grey side covers so I just assumed without looking any closer. I'm a dumdum
Re: CL moped
letgo $300 should have been mine....it was that scenario.."i've got a guy coming to look at it. you're next in line. i'll call you back if he dont want it" . ugh....the sad part, it was missing exhaust, however i knew where a nos exhaust was at that time. the person that got it. rigged a moby exhaust to ride it, and it was back on cl looking goofy with a whopper jawed peanut pipe attached, for like $1800 years ago. now its back still totally out of my allowance for a moped.....maybe someone will think the price is worthy some love...it needs it.

Don has a point. After all I got my mintish Maxi Luxe here in Ohio with only 27 miles on the speedo for only $400 (edited)

That is prob the only moped worth a grand in my opinion.....so hard to find. Especially stock and complete. Maybe offer to trade the guy a couple of yours for it? If you still know where that exhaust is I would grab it up, just to have or to sell here..
Re: CL moped
I wonder what my Carabela Carrera with 15 original miles on it would be worth if a Maxi is $1500. The thing is also a time capsule looks and runs showroom.

What a deal! Rare to find one with 27 miles.
Re: CL moped
A $550 moped bought in 1979 and adjusted for inflation would cost over $1900 today. That we find ones for $125 that we can get running in a couple of hours is incredible. And even if we sink another $300 into it to fix everything, we are still ahead.
If you want a particular moped bad enough, you might pay any price. Didn't someone here buy a Magnum Limited for $2000 last year? And if the owner kits that bike, there's another few hundred...
