Puch Maxi Nostalgia 1976

The Puch Maxi is a moped fitted with a single cylinder, 49cc, two stroke engine. The engine produced 1, 1.5, 2 or 2.4 hp and could propel the rider at speeds of 15.5, 18.6 or 28 mph (48 km/h).It was started using the pedals which could be engaged and disengaged from the engine via a starting lever so it could be ridden as a normal bicycle. Later models did not have pedals, and instead were started with a kick start mechanism.
