New Map Baby
« on: January 19, 2011, 12:51:07 PM »
Recent acquisition New Map Baby. Not the microcar (introduced in 1938) but its two-wheeled predecessor with the same engine (Fichtel & Sachs two-speed)

(Three wheelers have become so expensive in past few years I've 'lost a wheel' myself and now most of my transport fun is two-wheeled)

Such is life, I feel many share your view! However good to have you back, personally I'm rather fond of mopeds that look like converted bicycles.

Nice bike!

New Map to KV to KVS, in all of its incarnations the company consistently managed to render itself resistant to search engines....

Judging from the results, no, they're high-tension electric.  Most seem to be from companies with names like Garmin or Trimble....
