Learning how to repair a moped from scratch was no easy feat. I started with basic moped maintenance tasks, slowly building up to more complex projects like engine overhauls and electrical troubleshooting as my confidence grew. Each new step was an experience, a chance to learn, and my knowledge grew. I’m thrilled to share the notes, tips, and tricks I’ve collected along the way. So here are my beginner’s guides to moped restoration. Hopefully, they will answer some of your questions and inspire you to rebuild and restore your vintage moped.
