Description VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): 4339824 Make: WARDS RIVERSIDE MADE BY MOTOBECANE Engine Size: 49.9CC. ENGINE Model Year: 1959 DELUXE MODEL MOPED Fuel Type: GAS MIXED WITH OIL.
UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1959 MONTGOMERY WARDS RIVERSIDE MOPED MADE IN FRANCE BY MOTOBECANE. THIS IS A 2 PERSON DELUXE MODEL THAT COULD MAIL ORDER THROUGH WARDS BUT THEY WERE MADE IN FRANCE BY MOTOBECANE AND SHIPPED TO UNITED STATES FOR MONTGOMERY WARDS AND REBADGED AS THE RIVERSIDE. IT HAS MOST OF THE MOTOBECANE EMBLEMS LIKE ON THE TANK AND FRONT FRAME AND SEAT AND WIND GUARDS BUT ON REAR FENDER WARDS SCREWED THEIR RIVERSIDE BADGE ON TO LABEL AS A MONTGOMERY WARDS RIVERSIDE. THE ENGINE IS AV88 MODEL TOP PRICED MODEL ENGINE DATED JULY 7 1959 AND CAN MAYBE SEE IN MY PICTURE. MOPED RUNS GOOD AND CARBURETOR HAS BEEN CLEANED WITH NEW GASKETS INSTALLED. I REPLACED IN LINE FUEL FILTER BUT WOULD RECOMMEND BUYER FLUSH GAS TANK ONE MORE TIME BEFORE RIDING. ALL ORIGINAL IN COPPER COLOR PAINT WITH ITS ORIGINAL WIND GUARDS TO PROTECT RIDERS LEGS ONLY THINGS MISSING ON THIS MOPED IS CHAIN GUARDS THAT GO ON RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES AND WOULD BE A COMPLETE MODEL. THESE ENGINES ARE REALLY UNIQUE WHEN RUNNING AS THEY HAVE A BEARING THAT RUNS THROUGH THE TOP OF ENGINE AND BOTTOM OF ENGINE WILL SWING UP TOWARD FRAME WHEN YOU SPEED UP THROTTLE VERY COOL WHEN RIDING WITH FRIENDS. THIS IS PEDDLE START AND JUST HIT THROTTLE AND GO AND WOULD REACH SPEEDS OF UP TO 45MPH. IT SHOWS SOME RUST SPOTS AND SOME PAINT LOSS IN SOME SPOTS TRY TO LOOK AT MY PICTURES BUT REALLY HAS THAT VINTAGE PATINA LOOK TO IT. IT REALLY NEEDS DETAILED AND CLEANED UP BETTER AND WOULD REALLY LOOK SO MUCH NICER. THE TIRES ARE VINTAGE WHITE WALLS AND HOLD AIR AND CAN RIDE ON THEM BUT WILL NEED TO REPLACE SOON IF PLAN ON RIDING A LOT. THE WHEELS ARE CHROMED BUT ARE STARTING TO SHOW SOME SURFACE RUST SPOTS BUT NOT REAL BAD. THESE ARE BECOMING HARDER TO FIND AND THIS WILL BE A NO RESERVE AUCTION WITH NO TITLE CAN WRITE A BILL OF SALE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS THIS WILL BE SOMETHING BUYER PICKS UP IN PERSON OR MAKES SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS OF THEIR OWN. BUYER NEEDS TO MAKE PAYMENT AFTER AUCTION END PLEASE I CAN STORE MOPED IN MY GARAGE AS LONG AS NEEDED UNTIL BUYER MAKES PICK-UP OR ARRANGES SHIPPING WITH IN REASON. GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND GOD BLESS.
On Jan-23-17 at 13:44:56 PST, seller added the following information:IN 1959 THIS WAS MONTGOMERY WARDS TOP OF THE LINE DELUXE MODEL AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICTURES THIS MOPED HAS FRONT SHOCKS AND REAR SHOCKS SO WAS BUILT FOR RIDER COMFORTE. ALSO THE SEAT ON THIS ONE IS NOT HARD FROM DRY ROT STILL NICE AND SOFT WHEN YOU SIT ON IT. ALSO THIS MODEL HAS A SWITCH ON THE BELT DRIVE PULLY SO IF YOU RUN OUT OF GAS OR ENGINE TROUBLE CAN SWITCH OVER TO FREE WHEEL FROM THE MOTOR AND PEDDLE YOUR MOPED HOME LIKE A BICYCLE VERY UNIQUE FEATURE. ITS TRUELY ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE MODELS WITH THE ENGINE SWINGING UP WHEN RUNNING TO JUST A REALLY SMOOTH RIDING MOPED. THIS MODEL ALSO STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL WHITE MOTOBECANE PEDDLES THAT ALWAYS DRY ROT AND FALL OFF SO IF YOU ENJOY COLLECTING VINTAGE MOPEDS AS I DO AND LOOKING FOR A NICE MODEL THAT WILL INCREASE IN VALUE OVER THE YEARS THIS ONE IS STILL VERY NICE. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF ANY AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS.
