As this is my 5th moped, I knew that the Korado was going to be my first big build. It all started with chopping the original frame and buying a Kreidler racing seat. After that I got my hands on a Puch X30 gas tank, but unfortunately it was too small to fit onto the frame. One of the gas tanks that would fit right away was from a Zundapp 529, so that was the one it was going to be. Since I always hated rusting shock absorbers and loved Puch N-frames, the rear swing arm was going to be welded into a fixed position. To get things in the right proportion the original front fork is replaced by a short EBR. After a lot of body work preparation the racer was ready to be painted. All the logos, letters and stripings are painted onto the moped (so no stickers)! The revised engine: - 50cc Airsal - Original crankshaft - 12mm Bing - Twin Air 28mm Foam Filter - Renewed stock point ignition - Tecno Bos exhaust Optical: - Zundapp 529 gas tank - Fixed swing arm - EBR front fork, black - Clipons - Brooks handles - Thumb throttle - Kreidler race seat - Sava MC2 Semislick 2.50 x 16’ inch tires - Iris GSX Gold chain Thanks for watching!

Here in the Netherlands the law is pretty strict on that one: it's permitted to drive this bike without a helmet, but it may not be able to go faster than 25 km/h. 1 km/h faster and they confiscate your papers and license plate (although it still goes 55 km/h with this setup). I drive this bike on a week basis, so 70cc was not an option! :-(

This is a sweet bike! But why did you go with that engine set up? its really lacking compared to the rest of the bike.

Thanks for your comment Todd! The swing arm is definitely not as bad as it looks. A bumpy road is a pain in the ass though (literally)!

Scary swing arm on this. Frame is definitely heavy duty. I would love to try this type of rear setup as a challenge but my kidneys would hate me. I'd party with this builder for sure...
