I completely restored a 1978 Mobylette last winter 2023 and having a blast riding it this summer. Really enjoyed your videos and hope to see more. Thanks!

[@derekdoeschannel]

Love it! Moby's are just fantastic. Thanks, I'm glad you liked them!

I did the same thing when changing a tyre on my mobylette motobecane nick it twice putting the tyre on but got it on in the end .

[@derekdoeschannel]

It’s a heck of a job!

[@CherokeeXxJackXx]

Do you have any tips on how to treat and how long to ride/ how to maximize lifespan on using a 1979 mobyletta?!

[@derekdoeschannel]

Yes, just keep up on things that go out like brake pads and keeping a good oil in the gas mix. The great thing about these is if your motor wears out it's super easy to replace the top end and piston with a new one. As long as it's not rusted it should be able to go forever.

I am wanting to switch out the OEM carb on my 1976 49CC Moby to a Dellorto 15.15. Is it difficult to switch? ALSo what group are you referring to that I man be able to get technical information on installing the new carb.
Thanks

[@derekdoeschannel]

There is a Moped Forum, "Moped Army" that has tons of info. It's super easy to change out the carbs. Just unbolt and bolt on. You will need an adaptor though.
