New Raleigh Runabout Engine being Tested at Classic Moped Spares December 2017

Classic Moped Spares testing new Raleigh / Mobylette Moped Engines!

New straight out of the box:-

Fitting:

• The engine was fitted to a 1970 Raleigh Runabout Moped. This is the first time in 50 years since the Raleigh Runabout was introduced that a new replacement engine has been succesfully fitted and tested making it an extremely proud moment for myself Moped Malc at Classic Moped Spares.
• We have been supplying moped parts to keep older engines running for many years, but sometimes it may not be possible to salvage an engine that has been outside in poor conditions. 
• These new engine also should offer more power and easier starting and smoother electronic ignition performance.

• Fitting will require some slight modifications and specialist jobs like this should be left to an experienced mechanic. We are currently trying to compile a quick guide to make this process easy for you. As always we are trying our best to find out all the information for you by testing a running bike ourselves.
• The engine has electronic ignition and first impressions are that it was much more powerful that the original. It ran very smoothly.

Testing:

• We are currently looking for a suitable location in Somerset to test ride the bike
• The engine has been fitted and the bike being prepared for the test.
• A new carburettor was fitted with the engine and a clean fuel supply ensured
• The electronics were wired up
• New cables to stop the bike were fitted and to ensure smooth control operation
• The light was failing, but here is the bike near ready to go https://youtu.be/qB2hq_NdNz0
• More details coming soon as we are trying to find a suitable test location before the end of 2017

To order yours please get in contact

• Please do get in contact for more information or to pre-order one. Due to the high value of these items we will only keep a small number in stock so lead time for delivery may be about 2-3 weeks.
• More information can be found here

Moped Malc from Classic Moped Spares was on Television!

Moped Malc was on the Black Box Television thingy in colour!

The Show!

Series 2 Episode 1 in September 2017 "Find It Fix It Flog It" on Channel 4 Television had myself Moped Malc helping with items for the show

Many of you hopefully will have watched it. I am sure that it may be repeated in future if you missed it! 

Renowned enthusiast Henry Cole and Antiquity lover Simon O'Brien made a visit to see me Moped Malc and took away a Velo Solex for restoration. I hope the show sparks some more interest in the smaller machines and helps get a few more restored/saved. 

Many of you may know that I have been trying hard over the past number of years to supply parts for mopeds mainly from the sixties, seventies and eighties. Hopefully the show will have revived a bit of interest in the Moped scene. 

The Bikes!

There were many early bikes briefly shown such as the Mobylette, Motobecane, Peugeot, Raleigh, Velos Solex and Honda mopeds.

Its is amazing to think how popular some of the mopeds were:- 

Velo Solex for example now have links to being pictured with Bridget Bardot, Steve McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Shed and Buried, Find It Fix it Flog It, and of course not to mention even Mr Bean!

Autocycle, Moped, Scooter and Motorbike Manual New Website Launched

New Website for Manuals for Motorcycles

A new website has been launched with the aims to supply manuals for:-

• Autocycles
• Mopeds
• Scooters
• Motorbikes

To take a look at this exciting new website you can click on one of the following links:-

www.mopedmanual,com

www.motorbikemanual.com

The range of manuals will include those currently available such as Haynes, Clymer and many more. There will also be the option to buy manuals in a number of formats. For example:-

Option 1

Manuals printed the traditional way. These could be paperback or hardback books. Or loose leaf pages of rare manuals that have been reproduced. Ideal for anyone not wishing to use a computer or to give to someone a physical copy as a gift

Option 2

Manuals downloaded. For a small fee the manual is paid for and then you can download it direct to your machine. Once you have the copy print as many times as you wish to then take pages you require to your workshop. Saves spoiling a good book.

Option 3

The same as a download only you receive it on a cd. Please note cd's will take a bit longer to arrive in the post that a download!

The website has been created by Classic Moped Spares with the aim to get some of the rarer manuals that we have made available for people wishing to work on their machines. We are hoping to supply:-

Memorabilia

Workshop Manuals

Spare Parts Books

Leaflets

We will try to keep prices low to recoup the investment in the site. If you have something of interest then please do get in contact so that we can help someone else work on their bike.

You can email classicmopedspares@hotmail.co.uk

Many thanks
