TurtleGT Banned Joined: 24 Oct 2007 Posts: 6039	Wed Oct 08, 2008 10:00 pm This one's sort of a Frankenscooter, but a very creative one: It comes from the UK eBay and the seller describes it as a "PUCH ALPINE SCOOTER,1959. This scooter is modified. The conversion is based on a SYM JOYRIDE 180cc, 4 stroke, 4 valve, liquid cooled twist and go scooter."

TurtleGT Banned Joined: 24 Oct 2007 Posts: 6039	Wed Oct 15, 2008 8:19 pm Another really nice one, but in a completely different way From the UK eBay The seller wrote: This is an original 1965 Maicoletta 250cc that I purchased from the importer Mr. Jones, in Bolton in 1965. I have all paperwork and original log book, and have been the only careful and loving owner from new. It has always been in excellent condition but I restored it completely anyway by having the frame and many parts powder coated, a professional respray and also a second 6V battery in parallel with original in order to improve starting.

They look coolthough , real low rider look with the long handlebars, and I dig the push start/pop the clutch since they don't have kick starts.

This is an unusual one: The more common Peugeot S 57 model looks like this: And they both look a bit like the Lambrettas of that time: Plus, the metalwork is similar to that that you also see on ACMA Vespas, which inspired many Asian restorations like this one: (which some consider unfortunate)
