Yet another Project, a vintage Moped.

Here it is my new project,
a 1958 Crescent 2000  "Månraket" originally  with a 0,8 Hp 50cc Sachs 2 speed motor.
In Sweden it has a nick name "The Moon Rocket".
It will be a Rat Bike and i will probably sand blast the frame and paint it
and also the gas tank will be painted. Everything else as is.

1958 Crescent 2000 "Månraket"

As you can see its a real project but the motor seems to been overhauled.
Originally this Moped had pedalstart, but this motor have a kick start.
This motor also have a 3,5 Hp cylinder kit and a bigger carburetor with a adjustable nozzle.

As you can see this Moped follows the design of the cars of that time.
More pictures coming soon.
Headlight and saddle is missing.
The placement of the headlight is a little special.
It is sitting at the front of the gas tank.

To fix:
The electrical wiring
Headlight
Handle bar
Saddle
Exhaust
Tires
