This Puch Moped got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1978 Puch Maxi Sport MkII is powered by a 49cc two-stroke single paired with a two-speed automatic transmission and is finished in metallic green. Equipment includes a solo seat, an inverted fork, alloy wheels, and a center stand as well as a chrome front fender, luggage rack, and exhaust system. The bike was acquired by the seller in 2022 and subsequent service reportedly included cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the steering-head bearings, transmission oil fill plug, fuel petcock, carburetor, air filter box, and engine side covers. This Maxi Sport MkII is now offered at no reserve with a bill of sale and Utah off-highway registration in the seller’s name.
The stamped-steel step-through frame is finished in Pearl Green and features an integrated 0.85-gallon fuel tank that was reportedly cleaned under current ownership. Equipment includes a black solo seat, a center stand, and a chrome front fender, luggage rack, and frame rails. Black plastic side covers shroud the carburetor and extend back to form chain guards on both sides, and additional equipment includes front and rear side reflectors along with a headlight and a taillight.
Multi-spoke 17″ cast alloy wheels wear Carlisle tires that show cracks. Suspension consists of an inverted fork as well as dual shocks mounted to the swingarm. Braking comes from drums at both ends. The steering-head bearings are said to have been replaced under current ownership.
The chrome handlebar features replacement grips and is mounted aft of a Puch-branded 30-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 1,900 miles, a handful of which were ridden by the seller.
The 49cc two-stroke single is started via bicycle-style pedals and was factory rated at two horsepower. Service under current ownership is said to have included replacing the fuel petcock, carburetor, air filter box, and engine side covers.
Power is sent to the rear wheel through a two-speed automatic transmission as well as drive chains for the engine and the pedals located on the left and right, respectively. The transmission oil filler plug is said to have been replaced within the last six months.
The number 5315664 stamped on the frame matches the numbers stamped on the engine and manufacturer tag, photos of which can be viewed in the gallery.
The bike does not have a title, it is being sold on its off-highway registration.
