Below are some data sheets and articles on various aspects of mopeds, some with information on tuning. Some of the articles are by me and some are by others, but in all cases you are advised to seek professional advise before doing any modifications to your moped unless you are very sure that you know what you are doing. I can take no responsibility if it all goes horribly wrong.

I regularly get asked about availability of spares and about the value of old mopeds. I have prepared this data sheet that tries to give some answers.
