This is a 49cc Moped which was manufactured from 1977 until 1982, it featured an air cooled 2-stroke engine. | |||
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). | |||
