Small point, but it is a Van Veen Kreidler, not the other way round. A Kreidler machine run by Dutch importers Van Veen.

The smoking "Rocketship" needs some different chain sprockets so it can start moving without help ; -)

Kreidler war eins der besten 50ccm Mopeds u. Kleinkrafträder der 1970er Jahre. Ich hatte eine RS mit 6, 25 PS von 1971.
Da sind die heutigen 50ccm Mopeds mit ihren gerade mal 45 km/h richtig Müde dagegen.

This reminds of the twin cylinder Honda 50 and has like 9 gears

[tomrobards]

What was the bike in the right lane ? Great sound

[MrPnew]

You know that you have a gearing problem when you have to pedal off the line

[whatstartedevolution]

Great electric if you could retain the clutch

[Ab_Dijbier]

Waarschijnlijk een hoge topsnelheid maar die Kreidler komt amper van zijn plek af. Kolere...

[Dogdave]

. . . Yeah agreed, and too richa mixture the other guy was WELL GONE !!😂

[Skelet_Castro]

The moped is so tired that it doesn't have the strength to start ahahaha

[jayarehan]

what kind of motorbike racing is this? in Indonesia, if there is a motorbike going like this, it will be thrown in the trash.
