Hi Norm,
I have a tidy 1982 C70C for sale, details in the 'Bikes for sale ' section above.
If interested, I can provide more information and pics.
Thanks,
Graham

Thanks, but it has to be a 50 (my friend's licence).

You need to research the 50 situation and your mates licence ,just a heads up

Nope, no UK style moped problems here thankfully

Yup, so much for Euro regulations being applied across the board. Ireland can ride 50's on car licences too; French can ride mopeds at 14; and I've just returned through the Netherlands and Belgium where riding low power mopeds without helmets is normal (including one very fast Puch that I clocked at nearly 50mph).

I think you must have been on the Dutch side of the border if you saw people riding mopeds without helmets - in the Netherlands, you can ride a 25km/h-restricted moped without a helmet, but you must use cycle paths where available. Here in Belgium, helmets are obligatory, and the law is strictly enforced. It's even more stringent once you get over 50cc - you'll risk a fine if you're not wearing long sleeves, long trousers, gloves and ankle-covering boots (both rider and passenger).

Since my friend doesn't have any form of driving licence, he needs to take a minimum 3 hours of training, 2 hours of which must be on-road, then sit a theoretical and practical test in order to obtain a moped licence (cost around €300).

Morning Norm,
Thanks for the clarification.

Ah yes the land of the Pedelec bicycle - nearly got mown down a few times by those...

Sorted now, thanks
