He built the bike and I taught him how to properly assemble the engine and slightly port the cylinder W exhaust port.
Melvin’s motobecane Av10 polini 50cc kit with stock cases is almost done. Even the vintage Fournales ole0-pneumatic shocks were made for the 103 RCX frame.īonus video : Another fast Tomahawk 50cc motobecane. I’m still keeping the moped spirit by using a 49.9cc limit engine and after market Peugeot moped parts only, except for the auto electric water pump.
#PUCH MOPED FRAME INSTALL#
The only thing missing is the license plate and the pedals but there were no pedals on the stock peugeot 103 RCX 90’s version with pegs and kick start like many other mopeds, Honda, Vespa, Motobecane, Tomos, etc… It’s almost impossible to install pedals on that bike, there’s no thread for a rear bicycle freewheel, no front sprocket on the shaft or even room to weld one. Plus the bike will also blend much better next year on the track racing against other mopeds or 50cc to 200cc and electric motorized bicycles. The purist french racers and bloggers are going to tease me for removing those awesome vintage Bidalot fairings but we can’t please everybody and since nobody races in California I have to take that bike to the streets. I’ll probably paint the wheels black, re-weld a straight frame brace, get a round headlight and modify the seat cafe’ style later. I installed a long seat and a Tomos square headlight for now to make it look more like a street moped american style. The negative side is that the more miles you put on a race engine the less it performs at its full potential on the track for race day. Before that I’ll do a complete engine checkup and will change the transmission for street riding top speed. I don’t want my 50cc race moped to rust in my shop until the next race April 7th 2012 at Grange’, so I decided to remove the fairings and register the bike to blast it once in a while on moped rides.
#PUCH MOPED FRAME UPDATE#
I’ll try to update the article later with new pics. Now it’s starting to look like a cool ped. I’m going to use a peugeot seat with maybe upholstery, an ebr frame brace, a round headlight, a peugeot 103 spx kick stand, I will paint the wheels black and probably keep the bumble bee spirit by adding some yellow accents.
