You are bidding on a 1978 Motobecane Mobylette 50V moped with 3175 miles on it. I bought this 3 years ago from the original owner. I put a coil on it and cleaned out the carb and my daughter used it around the neighborhood for the next 2 years. This year after pulling it out of the basement the rear tire blew out while filling it with air. When I tried to start it, it wouldn't start. The gas smelled bad so I drained it and put fresh gas in. It would start but run only when choked. Then the choke cable gave out up near the switch. Anyway - the overall condition of this moped is nice. The paint is good with no major dents or scratches. Some minor chrome pitting and surface rust. Much of this could be polished off if you want to spend the time. It is a good strong running motor but as described above some tinkering will need to be done and it needs a new choke cable. The lights and horn work. T are no rips in the seat. It comes with the owners manual and tools. I don't know if that is all of the tools but that's what was in the storage compartment. For someone that is looking for a good place to start a restoration, this moped is the perfect candidate. Or just tinker with it and have fun as is. I don't know if this has ever been registered before. I don't have any paperwork but can supply a Connecticut Bill of Sale. I would prefer
