i almost forgot about mopeds!!!!! thank god your back
Ha! I was gonna say the same comment! Beat me to it!
same
I'm so glad I re-discovered this channel! I used to ride everywhere on my old smokey Tomos (even crossed the border with Belgium, was an 8 hour round trip!). Really feel like giving the old moped some deserved maintenance now
Glad you found us! Whip that moped into shape
Exellent, it reminds me of the last fender I hand-cut at my Jawa CZ in the previous century. Nice to hear from you again.
Oh baby a bullet headlight!! You're talking my love language. 😍
Rear fender looks great. Really nice job.
Great job Pete!
Cool stuff!! Keep uploading :)
Fantastic video! 🤩
I love a good looking Tomos upgrade. My dad has a Tomos..... and a minivan.
Thanks for posting moped vids, getting me mopedivated again.
Mopedvated, I’ll gonna use that 😁
Great to see your face! Good job
Dang Pete I thought you forgot about mopeds! Glad to catch a vid.
Got a bunch of moped builds in progress. I’ll try to squeeze in some shooting time to share the process
Awesome stuff !!! Had one in high school /college I’m 35 now looking to get another one. I missing fucking around with them so much potential!!!!!
Best of luck with the hunt. Hope it’s a TOMOS!
exellent love the content like this-ajusting old w/shop machinery not so much cheers.
Understood, I love my machines but this the moped channel.
I'm in the middle of something similar on my Maxi/magnum Hybrid.just chopped the rear fender. put the Magnum front forks on and the magnum swing arm on the maxi frame about a 1 3/4 inch lift over the maxi height... engine rebuilt 64cc polini/Biturbo exhaust.Now for the electrics replaced the 6V lighting coil with a 12 volt coil. tore out the original wiring harness and am building a new harness for 12 volts DC with a Rectifier/Regulator no battery. all LED lighting with a LED directional circuit. Similar drectionals like you have, brought my LED brake light up higher right under the rack.lowered the seat 1 3/8ths inches to hug the rack.LED H4 headlight super bright with a high beam. speedo light changed to LED.Yamaha dirt bike bars just about a inch taller than yours.new brackets for a Cafe racer type fairing with wind screen.I'm thinking of shortening my front fender as well make it look more like yours.going to blackout all the chrome the rack under the seat, foot bars, and front fender all black. it should look nice against the bright Yellow frame.
Awesome
Very Nice!!¡¡¡!!
Links for the parts used in the video? Would love to find that headlight for my 2001 Targa restoration project!
Hey! What headlight was used. Want one for my Tomos in the UK 🇬🇧
ICE COLD BABY
Where did you get that tail light/bracket?
We just got this same moped for the kid. It has the pedal conversion already on it but he does not like it and want to go back to kickstart. Is it an easy process
Those turn signals can work on a tomos targa lx a35?
Great video!
I have recently begun to try and service my Tomos A35. And i need to get the left engine cover off, it seems that i have remove the tubes from the oil pump, since the tubes go through a small hole into the behind of the left engine cover. I can't put the engine cover back on now anymore, because the flywheel is not alligned, so i gotta have it off. Also i would like to clean it up in there.
If u ever see this, would u consider making a vid about how to remove the oil pump correctly without deleting it? xD
Or just a helpful article, i would like to try to go about it myself. I think my biggest challenge is the clamps that holds the tubes on the oil pump. I would like to service the oil pump as well.
Hope hearing from you!
Currently no vids about servicing the oil injection can be found and information is scarse. :(
Finally looking at mopeds and I am aiming for a Tomos. It's nice to see the video's are still as good as ever. I'd love to see rack options for the Tomos which allows it to carry delivery cooler box bags for Uber Eats. When I think of commuting, I think of packability.
TOMOS is the best choice. The rack you required will have to be made though. All the factory racks are simple and not designed for heavy loads.
In my county its very common to see it used by food delivery man. Post office usses it to to deliver post.
Where can I buy the fender and rear light
Bonjour,bravo d aimer autant la moped👌👊🏻💪🏻🙏🇫🇷
Great videos just found you
Thanks for finding us!
Man, the biturbo Chrome, my childhood
TOMOS 💕
Does anyone know where I can order this light from ? I don't see the link
Hi, thanks for the video/info. I looked on your website for the taillight you used in this video, but only found the Sprint taillight holder. Is that what you used, along with a sprint light assembly? I can’t find anything smaller with that fender angle on bottom. I want to shorten my rear fender and do what you did here. Please let me know, thanks
Yes, that tail light holder on the website is the one. Unfortunately, the tail light that mounts to it is out of stock. There is an alternative tail light that needs a little modification, on treatland.tv
where did you get the headlamp?
With gas prices so high and my commute being 43 miles there and back I really could use one of these brand new
Big lights save lives...embrace them.
Any tips on setting up turn signals? I bought a tomos that was optimized for racing so only the headlight and tail light works. Would love some advice so it's a bit less illegal come summer.
A stock wiring harness is one way to go…. But the wiring is not hard, same hot wire that is used for the headlight… it just goes to the turn signal switch and from there to the left and right turn signals (and from there grounded)
Glad to see you back, Love the Fender bracket, I have been wanting to do the fender swap. I don't see the brackets on your site though are they sold out?
Ah Mason, no I have them! Can I can make an unlimited amounts if necessary. But, haven’t added it to the site yet. I should have pics up for later this week.
Website is updated! Link is in the description.
Hey guys. I’ve got an old tomos targa lx, I love it but it is incredibly loud. Is there a way to silence this thing as much as possible?
It shouldn’t be too loud. I would first check for a head leak. By the header where it meets the cylinder, be sure the exhaust is tight and flush. Also, the gasket there could be blown out. The bike would be significantly louder if its not sealed. If thats good, check the baffle section of the pipe. If it’s missing and the pipe is just a straight pipe, it will be loud. Or maybe the insides of the baffle are gone. Lastly check the airbox. No airbox will make the moped noticeably louder. Best of luck 🤞
great look i did that looks great im new to this moped thing lol ni have a question i start it runs then it dies i need to adjust the throgt . n i got leds turn lights 3 out 4 the left light dont work! can you help thank you lm donnie from pittsburgh pa
Thanks for the praise! It’s hard to help via comments but have you added an LED style flasher? LED lights draw little power and a different flasher is needed for it to work right.
Hello! I was wondering if you could make a video about what to look for when trying to purchase an old moped? If not not, that’s fine.
We have just the video for you, already made: ruclips.net/video/hxzOGPTSRZY/видео.html
Or search for our video: how to buy a moped sight unseen
where did you get that headlamp? Thanks for the video!
Send us an email and I can show you some options we have: mopedproblems@gmail.com
Bars and seating pos??
I'm surprised this guy did not have a 'Big Reveal'. He didn't even give you a good look at the finished product
I had to run short bars, they suck for long term stock moped use, cause they make you hunch over
where did you bought this handle bar?
Treatland.tv
I'm a bit late to the party, but could you tell me how you fastened the speedometer in the lamp? I have the same one, but no way to fasten the thing inside of it. The bracket that came with it doesn't do anything to keep it in place.
If the bracket is too short to bottom out against the inside of the headlight, I slip some rubber tubing around the “legs” of the bracket. Add whatever length you need to make contact.
@@MopedProblems thanks for your reply, I ended up making my own bracket out of some aluminum. It's not a perfect solution, so I'll see if the rubber tubing makes a difference. The video worked, by the way; my tomos turned out dope!
Do you still have mopeds for sale ? I'm in Harford county Maryland and would be interested in buying one . Thanks
Are are taking orders for custom builds. Email us at: mopedproblems@gmail.com
I've changed my bars but can't get my throttle to spring back did you change the cable
My guess is the throttle tube is rubbing on the new bars. Either at the very end of the bar (in which case move the throttle assembly a little bit to the right… so the grip isn’t rubbing on the end of the bar). Or, the handlebar is rubbing on the inside of the throttle tube. I’ve seen this on the painted handlebars. You’ll have to sand down or acid remove the paint where the throttle tube is. A little light oil in the throttle tube helps too.
@@MopedProblems brilliant reply thankyou I will do that thankyou
Hey, nice video! What’s the tire size?
These are 16” 2.5”
Hello from NYC. You should visit...
I’ve been back a couple times… I’ll be back again
If you ever get a 1983 5-Star General, with the Sachs motor let me know please.
With Sachs motor? For Pete’s sake why???
Have you ever done a thumb throttle conversion on a tomos just wondering where to start
Do you have any Insight on this question
It’s possible, probably not too comfortable
@@MopedProblems any suggestions on parts
Where did you buy the headlight
Treatland.tv
And here i thought you were going to show me how to Cheech & Chong my moped up... Hey did you know plastic can be made from hemp? I don't know if you can even find any, but it would be cool to see what it would do in your vacuum mold.
Lin manual miranda???
i took my 2015 Revival to a shop they want $1500 dollar to rewire it, is that normal?
I’d install a new wire harness for $225 plus the cost of the harness and miscellaneous parts. I’d say they are ripping you off.
can anyone pls help me find the link for the website
Www.secondstrokemopeds.com
Can you make a video how to clean a moped? How do i clean the chain?? lol idk anything mechanical
Ive always told customers… we are mechanics not maids.
@@MopedProblems lol
Hey Pete! I think I've told ya before, but im a daily rider. Summer winter rain snow idgaf...everyday! Well i got hit by another reckless driver. This guy really messed me up, almost got my leg amputated!
Shoot Ken! Sorry to hear that… hope you heal up alright. If only there were less cars out there… or safer drivers! Be well!
@@MopedProblems don't shoot! Lol maybe if you had to have a couple years moped licence to get your drivers licence, ppl would know up front how driving like that really is a danger to others and probably should be a crime to hit someone when you do.
True that 👆. Hey, I am glad they didn’t put you down!
Getting better, been riding the Tomos a lil bit
I love your website, I love Benji from Treats. Can I buy a tomos with pedals from you?

Pete, did you forget about mopeds?
I think the old side covers or whatever they are called are better looking
Mehr Mofa!
Necesito una de esas xD
The original headlight and fearing are definitely better
all that fendering--over and over-- for a sec I thought I was at Guitar center buying a Fender Guitar--maybe a Strat or Tele--gee I can't decide--maybe I'll watch the video again--LOL
Super Puch 2.0?
Maybe I make a Super Puch 0.5? A chopped super short moped?
Slovenien moped.
Fuckin Titanium Dave, lmfaooooo. R.I.P STINKI
Man, with your passion, I wished you were a billionaire and could have bought up the bankrupt Tomos factory :) To keep the dream alive for low cost, reliable transportation vehicles. I am so disappointed with the current market offerings :(
If only…
You have to be related to John Lovitz
Yea, that’s the ticket!
I tried a bit once as the liar. It went too well.
The grandma handlebars look so much better
It’s a personal choice of course
Buy An apn 6, don't be afraid of manual
I’ve owned quite a few. See our four episode series where we visit Slovenia and the TOMOS factory
Thanks, I am actually slovenian, and I own one, dober dan is Hello, hvala is thank you and zelo dober moped is very good moped
So this are some words for you to Use in SLO 🇸🇮😉
MAKE NEW VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Busy season is always hard with the videos. I am almost done with my run of projects. Hope to get editing soon.
Stock bars are best bars. Fuck those back breaking low bars.
Peugeot 103 bars FTW.

Only real men and fine women ride mopeds...
And here i thought you were going to show me how to Cheech & Chong my moped up... Hey did you know plastic can be made from hemp? I don't know if you can even find any, but it would be cool to see what it would do in your vacuum mold.
