MOPED ARMY

It's a real oddball, I think one model of them had some sort of dual variation going on, knew a guy with one, he had a hell of a time finding parts,,,sold it off. If anyone knows it will be on here, best of luck with it!

I believe this model is called a "Flandria Penny" over here, that might help you on your search.

Thanks bud. It's

I appreciate the info.

Thanks for the tip, Josh. I'll hit em up.

Yeah, they only top out at 25 if not restricted, but will climb an 11% grade without pedaling. If I can find the clutch parts to get it running, I will see about dual variating it. If I can't find what I need, I may have to part it out. I'll wait a year or two before I do that. Missing one side cover- good luck. Also missing rear brake plate and axle, but I think Sachs will work. Need one switch and levers too. Perches are there, but no brake, decomp, or choke levers.

Gotta find a clutch.

I wish I could find a decent flandria in my area... They’re probably my favorite frame design, and the fact that they were used as tourist movers in Bermuda is just the coolest thing.

Let me know if you find it. My wheel is good, but the brakes and axle are gone.

On another note, I wonder how the wet clutch one speed non variated motor is for power? It looks like a V1 kinda, with the pedal shaft built in. I guess you kick it backwards to start it. I thought about putting that engine in since its complete, but I don't know if it will mount up. I would have to eliminate the OG pedal shaft and chain. Options.

Will, It looks like it would bolt on, with the exception of the pedal shaft and bracketry that is the frame. I haven't tried yet, as I haven't even put it on the bench yet, but the possibility intrigued me.

It seems that everything I hear or read indicates a 25 mph optimistic top speed, but that's okay. I like rolling slow sometimes. Was yours at least torquey on hills?

the only things I could say in favor of the Flandria Apollo motor were the auto disengage when you were rolling faster than the motor, that was real cool, and at rallies let friends give me a push up to 40 or whatever or you coast downhill fast, and the engine can be sitting there at idle and as you rev it up it only engages when it's revving faster than it's going, like it just picks you up from coasting. nice feature

and the pedals were good, high pedal ratio let you actually push it, up to almost 20 if you were crushing on the pedals. which was good, because no - it was not torque on hills at all. I mean it went everywhere but it didn't do any of it quickly...

Still it was definitely fun as hell and I really loved riding it.

that's the old motor, it was case inducted through the middle of the crank arms on the ignition side. it makes no sense, totally insane design. I later swapped it to the one you have, and it bolted right up but had no benefit

then later I welded all new mounts for a KTM 50 minarelli s6 motor and it ripped stupid fast and then sold it and the clutches exploded and someone has it somewhere, I lost track, maybe in new orleans...

That's a cool little bike. Barely looks bigger than a BMX bike.

What a goofy crank induction setup; who comes up with this stuff?

Engineers come up with some goofy stuff.

But don't we all?

Thank you for bringing back a 2 year old thread! I was getting 33mph out of my dual variated Bermuda. It also has really nice acceleration.

Wow she's nice! Yeah i don't here much about them. Im proud to own one!
