The versions from 1977 until 1980 had a manual choke, point's ignition and a spring starter. Versions from 1980 onwards included a kick starter, CDI ignition and automatic choke as well as an improved [[compression ratio]]. All versions include an automatic one speed transmission with a [[centrifugal clutch]], double suspension and forced lubrication (does not run on mix).
Today many moped hobbyists have express'es because they are very reliable. They run numerous forums and websites on which you can find shop manuals and repair tricks. http://www.mopedarmy.com
