1960 Motobecane Mobylette AV 88 from France

Summary:

Cheap affordable first classic moped

The Mobylette was a restoration project. Everything was there, but very worn.

Usable moped that is 47 years old and drives well.

Fantastic vintage look with very large mudguards. SO FRENCH!!!

It takes you from A to B with a gas consumption that's ridiculous.

Full suspension (not common on a moped of this age). Comfortable ride.

Spare parts available everywhere and cheap!

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

I am a catholic priest. I am a Mobylette lover. I have very very old AV 88 model. I don't use other kind.

Ask yourself: what moped would Jesus ride?
