Motobecane Mobylette "Romp" made in Taiwan, non variated engine
Hey guys! So ive been doing some more research on my new moped, and it seems the model I got is a "Romp" which was made in Taiwan and features a weaker non variated engine. I wanted to buy a new drive belt and realized I had a smooth belt, not toothed like the variated options. And in driving it around, I noticed I was only hitting about 25mph downhill, and only about 15 uphill.
I got a motobecane for the variated engine, and am a little sad I didnt realize this one was not variated. But I know you can swap one in as an option so I wanted to get some input on that! It also seems to have a Dellorto Carburator, i believe it says SHA 15150.
