Picked up today for $100. Imagine a bicycle made in the worst way (out of steel pressings, bolted together) - now imagine it has a motor attached to it (over the front wheel for some reason).
Now imagine it is French.
That is a Velosolex.
I've seen these on Craig's List for as much as $1,100. Don't know if they sell at that price. I think Puch and Vespa used to make the better mopeds back in the 1970s. Puch mopeds were apparently taken over by Piaggio (Vespa), which put them under one roof. What's the MPG on that? 90? You probably have to mix the oil and gas on that one.
