Sinclairio takes on the Motobecane project.
Today I dropped off the Motobecane at Sinclairios place. He has decided he wanted to take it on and im stretched pretty thin working on the Tomos and Peugeot. This way we both have two bikes. Glad its staying with Mopeds at Dawn.

Out on the Peugeot Vogue
This evening I rode the Peugeot to Sinclairios house and back. Its the first time that ive taken it any distance since fitting the PHBG carb and new exhaust. I have notice that the pipe has a top end powerband so lowdown acceleration is a little sluggish but it got me up to a respectable 40mph. Remember this is still with a stock 50cc cylinder. What I need to do is adjust the gearing for a little more low down torque or adjust the variator so it variates later.

Peugeot custom exhaust mount
Yesterday Sinclairio and I made an exhaust mount for my Vogue out of a rubber car exhaust mount. It needed to allow the exhaust swing back and forward as the engine variated and also absorb some of the vibration. Turned out really well and doesnt look to bad either.

Puch gearing complete
I Finally got around to gearing the Puch & the E50, slapped a 16 tooth so it's now 16x45. Still really responsive, does 30mph easy, cruising at quarter throttle. Does 40mph and manages the hills well. So that's it I'm happy with that not going to mess about with it now. 40mph was my goal and to get up the hills that we are surrounded by. Need to sort the jetting though as its still to rich.
