How to start a Motobecane moped

[@cometgirl217]

Thank you for the informative video! I’m relatively new to the moped world and just became the proud owner of a ‘77 50L. I’ve read the manual dozens of times, but I feel exponentially more confident after watching the start-up process in action :)

IAlso a relatively new mobylette owner, I've been peering through the parts catalogue every night for weeks to try to get a feel for what I'm looking at

Helpful information dude! Just got a moped getting it fixed up right now

[@TheGameBest7]

I have 2 of these babies! I love em they are so cool! Also after long usage and they stop running make sure to clean that exhaust pipe and clean those points!

I've got a 1976 50L and love it. I wish mine idled as good as yours though.

Trivia: The Decompression Valve can work as a "Brake". Only on a emergency case when you lose all breakes. The Decompression Valve can slow down the speed a little bit.

Thanks for the info just picked one of these up and got it running so far I like it

[@ajwasp3642]

Now that's how you do it. A good running ped, should always start with a half a kick. You should have mentioned that the rear wheel must not drag on the ground, during this procedure.

[@hhrosales]

Thanks, and yes that is a good observation as sometimes the kick stand is bent and the rear wheel will catch on the floor in which case push starting is needed

Gonna be getting a '76 this weekend for 800 bucks. It's my first moped and I'm excited for it. A moped that I can ride that doesn't look girly(so many of them nowadays just seem too girly, lol). Sure, it's almost as old as my dad but it's a good moped that still runs after 45 years so I think it's good quality. Update: unfortunately, the '76 didn't work out. But I'm having an '80 delivered tomorrow. Same cost, too.

[@See-LawSon.313]

Do you have to have the key

[@moton410]

Im about to purchase one, a 1976 and it looks like its in great condition. Do you have any information on how much these should run for and a place to look at prices and what i should look for to see if i am getting a great deal?? Any info would be awesome. Thanks.

[@hhrosales]

Sorry for the late reply but depending on the model, year, and condition they can go for 600-1200 on average. But up to 2000 fully restored. You can come into our shop at Orange County Scooters if you're in southern california as well as Myrons Mopeds.

@@hhrosalesI'm from Brazil I have a Caloi Mobylette XR-50 that i bought for 400$BRL [88 $USD] It's a very different model but is licensed from Motobecáne. [Different frame and fairings, But almost same engine.]

[@reillystsb]

[@lnroche5]

[@danielsanchez9909]

C'est un 50V - Les 50 V ont des suspensions à l'arrière et pas les 40V
