1950s vintage ABG moped VAP model classic red two stroke antique 50cc

Description

When our passion for the hobby got a little out of control, we decided to make a business of it.
Detroit Moped Works opened in Southwest Detroit in 2014 and has since become the largest shop in the United States that is dedicated to vintage, two stroke, pedal start mopeds.
Our inventory goes beyond what we have listed online and includes many parts and accessories that are new old stock, used or aftermarket.
In addition, we are an official dealer for Treatland, Biltwell, Amsoil and Western Power Sports, making it possible to source parts and accessories we do not keep on hand.

1950s vintage ABG moped VAP model classic red two stroke antique 50cc
We bought this in the winter five or six years ago. We cleaned it up, replaced the fuel line, fuel filter, spark plug, petcock and put in fresh gas. The bike fired right up and we rode it around the block a few times. We parked it in our display window with the intention of completing the refurbishment when weather shifted, but we never did. This Super Rare French moped (maybe never sold in the US?) is the only one of these that we have ever seen. WOW SO COOL!
About selling “as is” project mopeds:
Detroit Moped Works has always felt confident profiting from our wonderful work, selling refurbished or rebuilt mopeds that we could stand behind and sell with a warranty.
As a matter of principle, Detroit Moped Works has always been opposed to “flipping” mopeds, or making money off of selling non-running mopeds, project mopeds, parts mopeds, and/or “as is” mopeds.
That said, due to what the media refers to as
“these strange times” we are not able to get bikes built for sale this season . Further, we are repeatedly seeing “as is” mopeds selling on the peer to peer market for 2-3 times what we consider “ Normal Market Rate .
” For these two reasons we have decided to get some projects out of our shop and in the hands of folks who can hopefully get more bikes on the road.
Most of these mopeds will be priced above what we consider “normal market rate,’ but below the high prices we are seeing as the “new normal.” In the time honored tradition of “flipping,” we will be giving the most brief description possible, not promising anything of the individual vehicles, but promising you that you will have a wonderful time working on and learning about your new toy motorcycle! Or maybe it just sits as wonderful decor in your Man Cave or She Shed. Once you buy it, it is out of our hands and yours to enjoy!
Prices are firm / sales are final / bikes are as is.
