Sorry, but I have to feature a moped in my scooterblog. It won't happen again...
At a Swedish fair the last weekend this beauty showed up for sale. A 1954 (or 1953) Svalan Svalette of 48 cc capacity. Made by the same factory that built my 1954 Svalan Scooter (128 cc). Yes, bigger wheels of 24-inch and no front shield or any cowls. A Swedish moped limited by law to under one hp and no more than 30 km/h.
I normally stick to scooters, but when a kid brother calls out for rescue, I'm always there!
Had to fit new inner tubes, cleaned it, tightened some nuts, filled up petrol - and it fired up. Just one gear, so my two Svalan vehicles has three gears - together.
But hey, isn't it a nice looking combo?

| The power plant; 48 cc and approx 0,75 hp. One gear... |

| The big and beautiful Swallow. Schwalbe. Aronde. Rondine. |
 |
| Weird tail light, red see through plastic will fix it. |
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope that the kid brother isn't a troublemaker.
They usually are.

Gorgeous little moped! I think you can share it on your scooter blog, after all they are related.
