Got one of these for 8th grade graduation. All my buddies had mopeds. The guys who had the Sprees could put a 12 pack on the floorboard. We would ride in the middle of the pack surrounded by the others so it was harder for the cops to see the beer. Good times.

I had one back in the day. We adjusted the throttle cable and drilled holes in the exhaust system. The result was about Ten MPH faster so it could run around 50MPH!! was awesome until my idiot brother took it on the trails and jumped a dirt mound and completely bent the frame!! Loved my moped..

Great vid. Ive got the exact same thing.. similar condition.. can't wait for spring.. so much fun to cruise around town on. After 4 years of summer cruisin I killed the engine. I just put a new piston in this weekend.. big bore..I'm still in the break in period but it's definitely peppier now, I haven't opened it all the way up yet though. I'm just hoping it gets close to 35. It would hit 28 on flat if I was lucky before.

Hey Gary, would you know by any chance what size is the overall diameter of the tires? I’m considering doing a 150 elite swap on a 79 Honda express2. I have a crank and no start condition on the original engine and I’m not sure if I want to keep it, it has 130 psi of compression has gas and spark I know the top end is good but have no means of doing a leak down test on the bottom end. Thanks for the video and ride safe.
