MOPED ARMY

once u go performance in any way it is a little illegal E.P.A so if u r going to sin, sin boldly (a pastor told me that :P)

actually there r they have to go with the rules from when they where built and there r rules on there power out put and top speed so once u go performance its illegal but no cop will pull u over and say hay u r smoking to much

How about this 70cc one from treats hq?

By the time you pay the currency conversion and pay $$$$ for the freight, this in California one might be cheaper.

You may find that by the time you finally sort the jetting and pipe out to get a nice plugchop you may end up with the same amount of hp and a peaky powerband (you are going to put a pipe on it for the max benefit of the setup , right ?? ). But since we're more after torque for rideability as well as topend you may want to reconsider the larger Treats setup . As for the law pulling you over , unless you ride to attract attention with a loud pipe and are passing people above the speed limit - it's no big deal. Pretty funny ,There's a little old lady about 58 who I see once in awhile ride her grandson's ped (loud and fast) pass me on main street doing 45+ on a 2-speed Towny (I know , I sold it to them) - wouldn't stand out if she was quiet and behind me . An occasional blast to pass is no big deal but it appears most people riding peds nowadays are pushing their machines and speed limits bigtime . I tend to wonder if enough "kids" on mopeds start riding like the goped kids of years ago - that eventually the law will screw it up for everyone once they start clamping down . In a nutshell I'd go larger just for the rideability and wider powerband .

K&R:

does the police really know about moped in your town? here in Montreal it's impossible that you get busted with a 70cc. It won't be visible and can't you just say it's a 49.9cc ?? i mean they're not mech..? same with the pipe. its not stock so its still not legal but you say the original had one and it broke so you got a new one recently. they dont know its more powerful (montreal is a bigcity (2 millions people... and i swear we are like 5-6 driving real old school mopeds in town)

thats cool for this!

about the 70cc on ebay. there are still parts missing with this kit.. gaskets and rings..

i'd rather find a complete kit from europe but i cant read there "/

derek

where did you get it, for how much? (for the parma kit). did it need some tricky fix or only a bolt-on installation?

any pix of ur ped !? :) thanks

Both kits came from treats, not sure on cost of the metra, Parma was around $200.

Metra bolts up to PA/NU perfect, transfer even match; on NC/NA's the fins need to be cut to clear oil fill.

The Parma will require some case matching.

No current pics, I'll do a full write once it's done.
