The shop is FULL right now. 🛵⚡🏍️

We’ve got good end-of-season pricing on brand-new 50cc and 150cc scooters, electric bikes, and a whole lineup of vintage two-stroke mopeds.

A few things you’ll find here: ICEBEAR USA R2s and the new Flash 150, Wolf Brand , e-bikes from Heybike Official Global Account and Himiway Official , plus Puch, Tomos, and other vintage builds. Some are practical daily rides; some are just plain cool.

You can browse everything at detroitmopedworks.com/shop, and most of the bikes have their own Facebook Marketplace listings. But the best way to pick one is to come see them in person, sit on a few, and talk through what you actually want to ride.

📍 Detroit Moped Works

Thursday & Friday: 11–6
Saturday: 11–3:30

Come check out the bikes while the shop is packed and the end-of-season deals are on. 😁

🔴💨 THIS TOMOS IS PROPER. 💨🔴

Our 1996 Tomos Targa LX is officially dialed in, running strong, and ready for its next owner — and instead of just telling you that, we took it out for a proper rip around Detroit. 🏍️💨

This is a fully restored, sensibly upgraded A35 Tomos that still feels like a Tomos… just a considerably more fun one.

It now has a nice, strong, appropriate-sounding idle, clean acceleration and a crisp shift. The important street equipment is working properly too:

💡 Headlight + tail light
📣 Horn
📍 Speedometer
🔥 70cc performance setup
⚙️ Tomos A35 2-speed automatic
🔧 Fully restored + upgraded

And most importantly: IT RIPS.

This video was shot on a fairly windy day with a full-size adult rider, and this little red machine is still pulling hard, keeping right up with traffic and happily catching the cars ahead. 💪💨

That’s what we want from a vintage performance moped: not something modified so aggressively that it’s miserable to own, and not a beautiful restoration you’re afraid to ride. This one is meant to be ridden.

🔴 1996 Tomos Targa LX
🔥 70cc A35
💰 $1,600

Good vintage Tomos mopeds are getting harder to find — especially ones that have already had the restoration, parts, setup and tuning work done. Skip the “buy an old moped and spend six months figuring out what it needs” stage and get straight to riding. 😁

One-off vintage bikes are exactly that: one-off. When this red Targa finds its next garage, it’s gone.

🐻🧊 THE ICE BEARS HAVE LANDED IN DETROIT! 🛵📦💨

Another pallet of brand-new Ice Bear scooters just rolled into Detroit Moped Works — and for a little while today our parking lot looked more like a scooter distribution center. 😂

We brought in more of the Ice Bear R2 50cc scooters after selling through the last batch, PLUS a couple of Flash 150cc scooters in Metallic Blue & Metallic Gray. 🔵🩶

They arrived in the crates this morning, we ripped everything open, and now we’re getting them assembled, PDI’d, inspected, test-ridden and ready for their new homes. 🔧🛵

The R2 50cc has been a killer little around-town scooter — simple, lightweight, easy to ride and an affordable way to get around Detroit without buying a giant motorcycle.

Want a little more motor? The Flash 150cc gives you that step up in power while still being an easy, approachable automatic scooter.

And unlike buying a scooter in a box off the internet, we actually assemble, inspect, test and support the bikes we sell. We’re here when you need tires, maintenance, parts or service later, too.

💰 R2 50cc — $1,300
💰 Flash 150cc — $1,600
💵 Cash / Zelle / Venmo / Cash App / PayPal discounts available
💳 Credit cards + financing available
🪖 25% OFF helmets, locks, gloves & covers with any bike purchase

Come see them in person, sit on a few, ask us a million questions and take a test ride.

☁️ Happy Saturday from Detroit Moped Works! 🛵⚡

We’re OPEN TODAY from 11:00 AM–3:30 PM, and it’s shaping up to be one of those perfect Michigan riding days—warm, dry, and comfortably cloudy. In other words… ideal weather to come take a test ride. 😎

Whether you’ve been dreaming about a vintage moped, looking for an affordable commuter scooter, considering an e-bike, or just want to browse some unique rides, we’d love to show you around. We have something for just about every budget, experience level, and riding style.

🎒 Back-to-school season is almost here, and here’s our advice: don’t wait until the week classes start.

Buying now gives you time to:
✅ Learn to ride with confidence.
✅ Properly break in your new vehicle.
✅ Practice your commute before traffic picks up.
✅ Get any adjustments handled before school starts.
✅ And most importantly… enjoy the rest of the summer instead of waiting until it’s over!

A scooter or e-bike isn’t just transportation—it’s freedom. Ride to class, ride to work, grab coffee with friends, explore Belle Isle, cruise through Corktown, Midtown, or Downtown Detroit, and make the most of the season while the weather is still beautiful.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing back-to-school tips, commuter advice, comparisons between e-bikes and scooters, student-friendly transportation ideas, and a few special deals along the way. If you’ve been thinking about getting on two wheels, now’s the time.

🏍️ FOR SALE: Suzuki Burgman 650 – Luxury Touring Scooter 🏍️

One of the more unusual machines we’ve had around Detroit Moped Works!

We took this Burgman 650 in on trade, and after putting about 7 miles on it down Michigan Avenue, I totally understand why these bikes have such a loyal following. It’s incredibly comfortable, surprisingly fast, and just effortless to ride. If you’re looking for a highway-capable scooter that eats up miles, this is it.

This is my personal bike (clear title in my name), not a dealership sale.

The Good:
✅ Starts immediately and runs great.
✅ Smooth automatic CVT transmission.
✅ Comfortable touring seat with passenger backrest.
✅ Huge under-seat storage.
✅ Approx. 34,484 miles.
✅ Battery charged and tires set to proper PSI.
✅ Turn signals, horn, brake lights, digital dash, gauges, and speedometer all work correctly.

Known Issues:
• Headlight not working.
• Tail/running light not working.
• JBL stereo not working.
• I believe it’s likely a wiring issue, but I haven’t diagnosed it further.
• Cosmetic scratches and scuffs shown honestly in the photos.
• Flame decals can be removed if they’re not your style.

💵 $4,000 CASH buys it exactly as it sits.

OR…

💵 $5,000 if you’d rather have me troubleshoot the lighting, remove the decals if desired, and spend the time making it a more complete package.

I’d honestly prefer someone grab it for $4k and enjoy it. It’s a fantastic machine that just isn’t something I normally keep around.

🎥 Watch this listing video, then check out the POV ride video I’m posting next to see it cruising down Michigan Avenue! It really shows why these Burgmans have such a devoted following.

Message me if you’d like to come check it out or take it for a ride!

🏍️ We don’t sell many 650cc touring scooters… but this thing has been way more fun than I expected. 😅

Just a quick ride down Michigan Avenue to show this Burgman 650 doing what it was built to do—comfortably cruising.

It’s not often I get to hop off a vintage moped and onto something like this, but I have to admit… I get the appeal now. 😂

Check out our previous post for the full walk-around, pricing, and all the details. If you’re looking for an incredibly comfortable highway cruiser, this might be your next ride.

Would you tour on one of these?

🚨 Definitely not our usual inventory… but we couldn’t resist taking it for a rip. 😅

We just took this 2006 Suzuki Burgman 650 in on trade, and while Detroit Moped Works is known for vintage mopeds, 50cc scooters, and e-bikes, this luxury touring scooter has been a fun surprise.

After spending some time with it—including a 7-mile cruise down Michigan Avenue—we totally understand why these have such a dedicated following. It’s incredibly comfortable, surprisingly quick, and just eats up the miles.

✅ 638cc twin-cylinder engine
✅ Automatic CVT transmission
✅ 34,484 miles
✅ Huge under-seat storage
✅ Comfortable rider & passenger seating
✅ Starts immediately
✅ Runs and rides great
✅ Horn, turn signals, brake lights, speedometer, and digital dash all work properly

The only significant issues we’ve found are:
⚠️ Headlight not working
⚠️ Running/tail light not working (brake light works)
⚠️ Aftermarket JBL stereo currently not functioning

We’ve checked the obvious stuff and suspect the lighting issue is electrical, but since this isn’t our normal specialty, we’re offering it AS-IS.

💰 $4,000 CASH takes it exactly as it sits.

If you’d rather have us spend shop time troubleshooting the lighting, removing the flame decals (if desired), and putting labor into it before delivery, we’d be looking closer to the original $5,000 asking price.

🎥 Keep an eye on our page! We’ll be posting a POV ride video blasting this thing down Michigan Avenue shortly so you can hear it run, see how smoothly it accelerates, and get a better feel for what it’s like from the rider’s seat. If you’ve been curious about these Burgman 650s, you won’t want to miss that one.

Stop by the shop, check it out in person, and take it for a test ride. It’s an unusual bike for us, but it’s been a genuinely fun one to have around.

🔴🏍️ A true survivor is getting harder and harder to find. ❤️

Up for sale now at Detroit Moped Works is this beautiful Puch Magnum XK—a remarkably clean, mostly original survivor showing just 2,489 original miles.

Unlike so many Magnums that have become race builds or heavily modified customs over the past 40+ years, this one has stayed remarkably honest. And these days, that’s becoming increasingly rare.

Before offering it for sale, we took care of all the important reliability items while preserving its originality:

✅ Brand new Shinko Tires dual-sport tires & tubes
✅ New KMC Chain | USA chains
✅ New fuel petcock
✅ New fuel line & inline fuel filter
✅ Carburetor serviced
✅ Fresh NGKsparkplugs NGK spark plug
✅ Thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and road tested

It still retains the details enthusiasts love:
🧰 Original dealership tool kit in the rear trunk
📯 Original working horn
💡 Functional headlight, taillight & brake light
📈 Original VDO speedometer
🛞 Just 2,489 original miles

💲Asking Price: $2,000

Clean, original Magnum XKs have become surprisingly collectible, and similar examples have recently sold for well over $2,500 on enthusiast auction sites like Bring a Trailer .

Sure, we could probably hold out for top dollar—but we’d rather price it fairly, move it while the riding season is in full swing, and get someone out enjoying this incredible piece of moped history.

💵 Swing by with paper cash dollars, and we can probably save you a couple more bucks, too.

❤️ Let’s find this Magnum its next garage.
