Dude, there's a guy who drove one of these from Mongolia to Austria. Damn things are indestructible. God bless Austrian engineering.

I had one of these in the early 80's. I loved it. During the gas crisis I rode that and could fill up for a week for $0.40 cents. It would have a problem every so often but I could always fix it by taking it apart and putting it back together again.

It's nice to see Jayde again. She is very pretty. You are a lucky guy, Joe. lol. Congrads' on being a new Homeowner. I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Love the Puch. I use to see one or two when I was in college. I hope she loves the bike too. Jayde seems to be handling it very well. Good for her! You two enjoy your life now and your new home. Now your Father can finally say, " Get this stuff outta here!" lol Keep the videos coming. I still need to learn so much more. Again Bro, you two please stay safe and healthy.

A Puch was Made in Austria Not in Australia 😂🤙🏻

[mathias.shenanigans]

Got one myself. A 1988 Puch Maxi L (L for luxury) with pedals and suspension rear and front, made in Austria, dutch model. Has cost me about 1k euros so far. Half for the moped, the other half for parts.
I live in Denmark, Puch Maxis are culture here, they’re quite expensive.

Just found my wife’s 1985 maxi sport which she bought new and left in her dads barn about 35 years ago... bringing it back to ours soon and hope it, ll start as easily as yours, hers has a kick starter and 6500 miles on the clock.

For 120$?
Damn, in that condition in most parts of europe we pay 1000$+

[davestatham]

My grandad had one of these a puch maxi, he used to ride it up and down the toe path to open the locks on the canals for the barges, fun things, you two make for a great couple, always keep faithfull and love each other forever, 🙏🏻❤ from🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👍, oh happy independance day, 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸

Used to own one when i was a kid. Really strong and good quality moped. Maybe even better than the 2stroke Honda mopeds of that era.

"Its leaking oil. Lets take it for a rip"
hahahaha

[geraldscott]

I own several. I pronounce it "pook" as in Luke or spook. But according to a magazine ad from the '70s, it is supposed to be pronounced the same as "hook" or "book" Doesn't really matter, they are wonderful mopeds, and an icon of better times. That one has the 2hp, 2 speed ZA50 engine, which will haul my 240 pounds up fairly steep mountain grades. It also has the 5 star wheels, which are the strongest and widest of the 3 wheels types offered on Puch and Puch/Kromag mopeds. However, it also has the weakest shocks available on a Puch, with the small springs inside. If you are on the heavy side, it's best to upgrade to the super heavy duty shocks with the much larger and stronger springs on the outside. Air filter assembly is sealed. You can still buy new ones. New Bing carburetors are also still available, as well as all the parts to rebuild the old ones. Same for almost every part of the engine/transmission. The one serious weak point on a Puch moped is the way the cable attaches to the throttle. The one other issue is that the gas tanks tend to rust, and they are a structural part of the frame. On the stock Puch exhaust, there is a seal between the muffler and header pipe which is prone to failure. It is normal for them to spit out oil from there. The seal is replaceable. The exhaust can be taken apart and cleaned. I absolutely love that smoke trail. Mopeds are supposed to be pedaled. They are just there for legal reasons and to start it. Why is the mirror on the wrong side? Go to a Tractor Supply store, and you can get regular nozzles for gas cans. I can't believe you got that for $120. You can easily get $1500 out of it, maybe more.

in 1988 my 16 year old brother had this exact moped, color and all. He worked at a restaurant inside a small airport 8 miles away. He drove it there, but at 10 pm whenhe got out, my Father would follow him home on it in the car. With the Puch headlights on, on the back roads. My brother never let me ride it. I would love to score one.

[jeredalmeida]

Puch is made in Austria.
Not Australia.
"Let's throw anotha shrimp on the barbie then". lmao

[dang]

I had one of these back in the day...mine was blue. It's pronounced "pook" I rode the hell out mine...
Take the can off pull the silencer out and clean it with brake cleaner. They get gummed up pretty good. A buck twenty is a steal! Nice find!

[Wipsplash]

Nice find. I remember being 12 and my neighbor had one of these. I always wanted one but never got around to it. I just just finish restoring a Yamaha Zuma for me and my wife to putt around at the beach. Unfortunately beach plans have been put on a holding pattern this year because of everything that has been going on.

[tunnelrabbit]

Those are fantastic mopeds. Extremely durable and tough. In Denmark we used a worn rusted out Puch Maxi to tow a trailer with another moped in it for about 12 miles. Even with a flat rear tire and a fat guy riding it, the Puch kept going all the way home. These are amazing bikes few in the U.S. know about or appreciate. I hope this story helps.

[adamweston]

Pooch is how you say it.you can tune these into little demons, my family have a house in France and the kids ride these around and some of them are bloody quick . your fiancée did well on the Puch, she looks like olive oyl .... do you look like Popeye! she's really pretty and your a lovely couple.

[wd-everything]

Congrats on the new place and a shop of your own! Start saving for a bike lift table and get to know your neighbors and hopefully they will not give you any grief over your projects and a little noise! You scored 5 of 5 squirts 💥💥💥💥💥 from WD-40 for finding your own nest! Jade don't be such a stranger Joe needs all the help he can get lol!

[gtisid]
