    im in cali and this guys selling it for 550 im not good at doing work on moped yet..

    shouldi get it? i just need to get to work everyday for now

    Thanks for asking. The Btry is for the blinkers and headlight. It has a magneto for spark. You need to pull the carb off and clean it all out, the tank needs cleaning also. It’s not to hard to get running. You may have already done it.

    Hey man that is a great looking bike. I need your help. I was just given that same exact bike by a friend of mine and he said i could have it if i could get it to work.

    The problem is it wont run, do you need the battery in it for it to start? If not what is the battery used for? Let me know, thanks

    Mile for mile it puts out way less crap than anything else on the road

    Nice.
    No better way to go green this day!
    Also there is just something about going 30mph and just cruising around you know? Thanks

    Just got one here in LA. Cool!! Any ideas were to get it repaired and parts (beside ebay) Thanks :)

    Looks great. I am trying to get a bravo up and running myself and have a pretty remedial question:

    How did you get at and remove the caburetor in order to clean it? I’m not seeing that it’s possible without removing almost everything from the frame. Is there something about this up on line?

    Many Thanks.

  11. vintageyellow71 says:

    your right. It does put out some crap that’s for sure

    My 1980 Vespa Grande would have that for lunch! Just kidding, your moped looks great– The going green, I don’t know, there is probably a lot of junk coming out of that tailpipe, regardless of how well it is tuned up.

  13. vintageyellow71 says:

    Ya the lights are a little out there but other then that it’s cool. When it moving the horn is a little louder but sitting still it’s a little wimpy. Thanks for checking it out.

  14. Krokettengeknetter says:

    Oldschool Bravo’s(a.o) are cool as hell.

    Only the blinkers are totally ‘unstylish’.

    The horn wouldend scare a sleeping mouse but that’s just cute.

    Nice one!
