1980 Motobecane Solex

Motobecane ID plate has 4 silver squares: 12 79 50V B

ID has 4 stamps:
12__79__50V__B
(Dec ’79 25mph)

1980 Family Photo: Above are all of the 1980 Motobecane USA models and colors, from the sales brochure. The Sebring is made in Italy and is covered in a separate section, under Italy-made/MB Sebring. The Solex is made in France but covered in a separate section, under France-made/Solex.

Center Stands: Notice how the center stands on the Moby and Traveler are more vertical than most Motobecane center stands. That is because these photos are of brand new bikes. The center stands become angled more forward with age or heavy use.

Speed Version is on ID plate: On the frame behind the headlight is the ID plate. The lower squares say model (left) and speed version (right), stamped in. Before 1980, A=30, B=25, C=20. From 1980 on, A=20, B=25, C=30. Before 1978, no letter, just 20, 25, or 30 (mph). Hope yours is a 30! 1980 was the last year for US models. 1981 had new 17 digit VIN and new EPA and DOT noise and safety regulations. That was “the last straw”.

Pulley clutch types:
left, variator
right, non-variator

Pulley-Clutch Versions: There are two types of pulley-clutches, variator and non-variator (Dimoby). They look almost the same. The crankshaft is the same for both. The variator type pulley clutch sticks out 5/8 inch more than the non-variator type. The variator type front pulley changes size, from 10 to 20 mph, as the bike speed increases. So it is like a two-speed, with a low gear and a high gear. The non-variator front pulley does not change size, but is solid and fixed. So it’s like a one-speed.

To see this on a bike, you have to view the belt where it goes around the front pulley. There are usually covers or belt guards in the way, blocking the view. Another way to tell the difference is by the clutch nut and outer clutch wheel. The variator clutch nut is very deep, while the non-variator one is shallow.

1. 1982-84 with M56 engine

1982-84 Trac mopeds are made in Korea by Kia Motorcycle Company, Ltd. The engine, made in Korea by Daelim Motor Co. (DMC), is a remake of a 1978-80 Laura M56 engine originally made in Holland and used on Batavus mopeds.

Some of the components are European, and some are Korean. This matters for parts compatibility. The spoke wheels, brakes, speedometer, shocks, forks, fenders and seat are Korean or Asian. European things are CEV (Italian) lights and switches, Bosch (German) magneto, Magura (German) controls, Grimeca (Italian) mag wheels, Encarwi (Dutch) carburetor, and the Laura (Dutch) M56 remake engine and exhaust.

1984-86 Trac mopeds are mostly the same as 1982-84, except for:

1) the controls are 1980’s Domino black, instead of 1970’s Magura silver

2) the cables are different for the Domino controls

3) the switches are integrated instead of separate clamp-on.

4) the wiring is different for the new integrated (built-in) switches

All have a small left lower lever for starting.
Later years did not have a starter lever.

3. 1986-1990 with DP50 engine

Since 1984 Trac made the Escot and Image “no-peds” with the Daelim DM50 2-speed automatic engine. It was proven to be good. In 1986 Trac introduced a pedal version Daelim DP50 1-speed automatic for their models Clipper and Hawk. Both DM50 and DP50 had oil injection, where you don’t have to mix oil with the gas. The older M56 engine models needed 50:1 premix oil and gas.

The DP50 engine replaced the 1982-86 Laura M56 Daelim remake engine. During 1986 both engine types were sold, as not all models and colors changed at once.

In late 1986 or early 1987, the Hawk was renamed Sprint.

1987 Trac Sprint, no start lever

1987 Trac Clipper, no start lever

1986 Trac Clipper

In 1986 the Olympic, and kick version Liberty, replaced the Eagle. The Olympic was all Korean or Asian made. So most of the parts are different from the other models. The brakes were bigger, and the fork improved, true hydraulic with oil dampening, for a smoother ride.

1954-86 Puch 50-65cc Models

From 1954 to 1981 Puch produced the successful MS50 moped and it variants, with a stamped sheet metal frame, telescoping fork front suspension and swinging fork rear suspension. It was a limited-power 50cc fan-cooled two-speed grip-shift. MS stands for Moped Schalenrahmen (sheet frame moped). Most others had welded tube frames. It had rear suspension when most others had hard tails. By 1957 almost 110,000 were made, and in total 1,053,433 MS50 mopeds were produced.

The engine was a 48.8 cc two stroke with 38.0 bore, 6.5:1 compression ratio, 1.8 horsepower, and a two-speed manual hand (cable) shift transmission. It ran on gas and oil mix 25:1 and had 3 liter gas tank. Speed 50 kph (30 mph) on level ground. Weight 88 lbs. Tires 2.00 – 19.

From Wikipedia via Web Translator: Puch began designing the MS 50 in the fall of 1952 and presented the first pre-production model in the summer of 1954. In the autumn of 1954, the MS 50 was launched in grey-green color. The developer was the engineer Walter Kuttler. The rather small bikes were considered innovative compared to other mopeds of the time, such as the NSU Quickly.

From 1955 there was the enlarged tank (4.6 l), reinforced frame, deeper and wider fenders, wider tires 2.25 – 19, wider rims, a reinforced chain and a new chain cover. The MS 50 has now been painted red.

In the same year, the luxury (Luxus) version MS 50 L was introduced – with chrome-plated rims, nabs and toolbox lids as well as white wall tires. The MS 50 L was available in lime green, red and black.

H1a The horizontal-cylinder one-speed automatic (H1a) engine came out in 1969 on the newborn Maxi. The “a” refers to the top-end version (cylinder, head, intake and carb). The “a” top end had an all-aluminum “lo-torque” 7-side-fin cylinder. Later “b” top end had a steel-sleeved “hi-torque” 8-side-fin cylinder. “c” had a steel-sleeved 9-fin cylinder. Each of these can have different horsepower versions.

E50 All 1970’s Puch horizontal one-speed automatic engines H1a, H1b, H1c, had the same H1 bottom-end, which has “E50” on the case. E50 is a German abbreviation for Eingang 50 (one speed 50). E50 is only the case, and does not specify the top end. So here we are using our own abbreviated engine names, because Puch never had any, instead spelling out the words.

H2a The horizontal-cylinder two-speed automatic engine type “a” (H2a) came out in 1975 in Europe, and 1978 in the US. The first year or two had a lo-torque all-aluminum 7-side-fin cylinder type “a”.

ZA50 All 1970’s Puch horizontal two-speed automatic engines H2a, H2b, H2c, had the same H2 bottom-end, which has “ZA50” on the case. ZA50 is a German abbreviation for Zwiegang Automatik 50 (two speed automatic 50). ZA50 is only the case, and does not specify the top end. So here we are using our own abbreviated engine names, because Puch never had any, instead spelling out the words “one speed automatic” or “two speed automatic”.

Puch Speed Versions

December 28, 2020

Horsepower versions: There were three horsepower (speed) versionson ’75 to ’86 US-model Puch mopeds, 1.0 hp (20 mph), 1.5 hp (25 mph) and 2.0 hp (30 mph). Each US state had a different speed and power limit. A sticker on each side cover said the power (speed) version, but nowhere else did. Without that, the power version can be determined by inspection or measurement of each part and matching that to the specs in the chart below. The carburetor ID number is the easiest and most useful way to find the power version in the chart.

Top End Versions: There were four different top end versions, 7-fin on ’75-85 Maxi, 8-fin on ’78-86 Maxi Hi-Torque, 9-fin on ’78-82 Magnum, and 10-fin on ’83-86 Austro Daimler (Maxi Plus) and Dart.

1975-86 Models and Model Codes: Here the Puch models that share the same speed version parts are grouped together and given codes. 18 parts catalogs cover the 12 year range of US-model Puch mopeds and re-brands. 16 of 18 are shown. Not included are pre-1975 US-model Puch mopeds and motorcycles sold by Sears. Also not included are Puch remakes made after 1987 in Italy, Slovakia and Turkey.

1978-82 Sears, JC Penney and Murray partnered with Puch to produce their own brands. Sears and JC Penney are made in Austria by Kromag. Murray is made in USA by Murray. The parts manuals do not have Puch part numbers and all Puch branding is removed from the actual bikes and parts, because they want to keep the true identity secret. Three lines of evidence allow the Puch part number translations. 1) The Puch Series B parts manual has the same illustrations and text format as Sears and Murray parts manuals. 2) Actual carburetors, intakes and exhausts from Sears Free Spirit, JC Penney or Murray show the identity agrees with Puch Series B. 3) Specifications for gaskets and intakes from Sears or Murray show the identity agrees with Puch Series B. For other parts the translation from Sears, JC Penney or Murray part numbers to Puch part numbers is guessed, based on agreement with Puch Series B.

1975-86 Puch Speed Versions

10 things are different for 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 hp versions.

1. Head: some might have more chamber volume
2. Head gasket: some are thicker, for lower compression
3. Piston: some are longer, restricting intake
4. Cylinder: some have restrictor plugs
5. Base gasket: some are thinner, for less port duration
6. Carburetor: some are smaller
7. Air filter: some have restrictor plugs
8. Intake pipe: some are smaller or restricted
9. Exhaust pipe: some have less holes inside
10. Sprockets: some are geared lower

How to upgrade to 2.0 hp specification:

This procedure is only for bikes where all of the parts are original.

1. Indentify the year and model of the bike. The year is on the ID plate. Here they are shown and explained.

2. Look up your bike’s parts catalog and model code in the list above.

3. Then for each part in the list below, look at the color of the Puch part number for that model code. Green means the part is the same as on 2.0 hp versions. Black means it is not the same as on 2.0hp versions.

4. Change all of the parts with black part numbers to green specification, either by replacement or modification.

5. Unfortunately not all of the part specifications are known.

None of these cylinders need a head gasket. New 8-fin ’78-83 2.0 hp models did not come with head gaskets. Remove the head gasket to upgrade to 2.0 hp specification. That provides a slight increase in compression ratio by reducing the combustion chamber volume.

1.0 hp pistons for 7-fin cylinders have a 5 mm longer skirt (lower). That causes the intake port to open later and close sooner (less duration). Also some of the port is still blocked by the piston even at maximum opening (less area). It’s a simple matter to file or grind 5 mm off of the intake side piston skirt, to make it 21 mm from the bottom edge of the pin, the same as 2.0 hp specification. 8-fin and 10-fin cylinders never had 1.0 hp versions. 1.0 hp pistons for 9-fin cylinders are the same as 1.5 and 2.0 hp.

Identification: Use this list to identify the bike model and speed version from knowing the year and carburetor ID number.

Jet Size: Intake air restrictors located in the air filter box, before the carburetor, cause the jet size to be much smaller. Intake air restrictors located in the intake port or intake pipe, after the carburetor, cause the jet size to be the same or only slightly smaller. Besides the intake pipe and air filter box, other things that affect the jet size on a piston-port two-stroke engine are piston, cylinder, exhaust, and to a lesser degree, head and gaskets.

Restrictors: Intake air silencer/filter assemblies #20 and #40, for 1.0 or 1.5 hp versions, contain restrictor plugs #4 and #44. Remove the pressed in plugs to convert the air box to 2.0 hp version. This must be done along with the 2.0 hp carburetor changes which include a bigger jet.

Two-speed intake pipes are noticeably taller and slightly longer than 1-speed intakes, because the 2-speed engine case places the cylinder lower and slightly forward. The difference in intake dimensions equals the difference in cylinder position, because the carburetor is in the same position relative to the frame.

Oil injection intake pipes have a oil hose spigot.

4-hole versus 1-hole: The purpose of the holes is not for more or less flow. The holes allow reflected (negative) sonic pulses (pops!) to travel back up the head pipe to help draw out exhaust and draw in intake at the same time. More hole area makes more power.

Hole location: The farther the holes are from the cylinder, the longer is the travel time of the negative sonic pulse (pop!), so the beneficial effect occurs at a lower rpm. That is why the 20mph version holes are near the rear, and the 30mph holes are near the front.

1. Puch 1-speed exhaust on a 2-speed bike
2. How to tell the type, 1 or 2 speed
3. A third type, not yet identified

The 2-speed cylinder is about 10 mm lower and 7 mm farther forward than a 1-speed cylinder. To make a 1-speed exhaust fit a 2-speed, the flange has to be re-angled by grinding to raise the rear pipe, the frame mount hole widened forward, and the pipe mount hole widened rearward.

’75-83 and some ’84: On these models with a 26mm ID seal ring, the tail pipe had only one mount hole. It was only slightly slotted, not enough to allow the 1 and 2 speed engines to use the same front exhaust pipe.

’85-86 and some ’84: On these models with a 22mm ID seal ring, the tail pipe had several mount slots. That allowed the 1 and 2 speed front pipes to be the same dimensions.

Flange angle: The Magnum 9-fin cylinder has an angled exhaust flange, unlike the 7-fin and 8-fin cylinders which have horizontal flanges. So the 9-fin front pipe has a little less curve in it.

USA Models 1974-1986

All models use 50:1 pre-mix, two-stroke oil and gas, except those that say “oil injection”.
Modern unleaded gasoline is OK to use. The “do not use unleaded” label is obsolete.
All US models have automatic transmissions. Most are one-speed, but some are two-speed.

The plain Maxi and Rigid models have the 7-side-fin “low-torque” engine top end.
The other step-thrus have a 8-side-fin “hi-torque” top end (head, cylinder, intake and carb).
The Magnum top tank models have the 9-side-fin “Magnum” engine top end.

Each model came in three horsepower versions, different for each US state.

wide spoke wheel means rim is 1.35 inner width,
thin spoke wheel means rim is 1.1 inner width.
ff means front fender. A thin front fender needs a thin 2.00-17 tire.

1980 Puch ad

1980 carry overs: In 1980 there were 2 or 3 years worth of mopeds produced. They were stockpiled and sold in 1981, 82 and 83. This was not just Puch, it was many manufacturers. It was a way to avoid the new worldwide motor vehicle standards and labeling requirements. Motor vehicles made before 1981 were not required to have the modern 17-digit VIN with assigned manufacturer codes. And there were other safety and standardization requirements for motor vehicle manufacturers.

That is why there are 1980 models in the 1981 and 1982 line ups!

1894 Styria ad

Not long after Hans Renold invented the roller chain in 1880, Johann Puch invented the safety bicycle in 1880. A year later Puch and two business partners started Styria Fahrradwerke, making safety bicycles that were chain driven, allowing the rider to sit closer to the ground. Traditional bicycles at the time were the direct drive big wheel type. Those were more dangerous and difficult to ride. The 1981 Magnum Limited commemorates the centenial anniversary of Styria, later known as Steyr Daimler Puch after merging with Austro-Daimler in 1928, and Steyr-Werke AG in 1934.

1. M56 Versions

Three power and speed versions were made for Batavus USA models. 1.0 horsepower, 1.5 and 2.0. Each USA state required a different version.

Only four things are different between the speed versions. Everything else is the same.

1. Parts for Laura M56 Engine

The parts list below is made from the Batavus USA Spare Parts Catalog for 1978-80 Regency VA and Regency HS (20, 25, 30 mph). Combined with that are parts from the Trac USA Parts List for 1982-86 Clipper, Eagle and Hawk (25 and 30 mph).

In 1978-80 the M56 engine was made by Laura in Holland, mostly for Batavus mopeds. It was remade in 1982-85 by Daelim in Korea, mostly for Trac mopeds. The Trac remake is 90% the same. Only some pulley, pedal and drive shaft parts are different, shown below in a lighter color shade.

Note 1: The original belt T5X395 with 79 teeth was unavailable for many years from about 1990 to 2020. During that time the only belt available was one tooth (5 mm) shorter T5X390, sold online by Get-to-It Sales. The shorter belt was too tight unless the rear pulley teeth were shaved down. Many M56 rear pulleys have had their teeth shaved. With shaved teeth the shorter belt fits but the original belt is too loose.

To get a correct fitting belt, here is how to tell if the tops of the teeth have been shaved off. Original uses T5X395. Shaved uses T5X390. This is important because there is no way to adjust the belt tension, and no automatic belt tensioner.

2. Parts for Laura M48 Engine

The parts list below is made from all three versions (20, 25, 30 mph) of the Batavus USA Spare Parts Catalogs shown at right, for models 1976-80 VA, HS50, Mo-bat, Bronco, Starflite VA I, Starflite VA II, Starflite HS.

1970’s USA Batavus dealers were given parts books only for their state’s speed version, and not other state’s. So a dealer in 25mph state like Arizona did not know, and could not easily find out, what parts were different in a 30mph state like California. There were just a few pages that were different.

Batavus M48 Clutch Small Parts

Small clutch parts: Most of the small clutch parts are in this photo.

Top row, #17 840010 tab washer, #4 820502 hex bolt, #5 843500 washer, #6 480981 plate, #61 480892 leaf spring, #22 480887 saucer spring (used), #20 820520 splined bolt.

Bottom row, #24 813081 needle bearing, #23 816180 felt ring, #41 490814 washer, #22 480887 saucer spring, #79 480899 washer.

Saucer spring: You can see the shiny rings on the used saucer spring. They are where the contact was. The dark areas never touch anything.

Leaf spring: The leaf spring goes on any one of the ten tabs of the friction plate, under the basket. What it does is reduce vibration. It stops the jingle bells sound, and helps the friction plate tabs last longer. It is not essential, but very beneficial.

Crank Seals: Laura M48 uses crank seals that are 1 mm smaller (tighter) than normal. The 15mm right side has a 14x30x7 seal. The 21mm needle bearing case on the left side has a 20x42x7 special seal with an offset lip.

Friction Plate #480889: 10 tabs, each 10.5mm wide, inner diameter 58.5mm, outer diameter 92.4mm (100.4mm at tabs), thickness 3.65mm.

Note: The tabs break off when the slots in the basket become worn or notched on one side. This is because not all ten tabs are sharing the load evenly. A worn clutch housing/basket also makes the clutch stick and not go into “neutral”.

Pulley-Housing #480880: 10 tabs, 10.3mm wide, ID 94.0mm, OD 98.6mm, center needle bearing ID 15.0mm, OD 21.0mm, length 22.0. Comes with the needle bearing only. Price $150 new, $100 almost new not worn. Far left, a new one and a worn out one. The slots for the tabs get worn wider where the plate tabs push at. Filing those flat will help, but it might still stick sometimes.

Pulley-Housings: 480880 (painted red) has a wide pulley for US 25, 30 mph and Euro 40, 45, 50 kmh versions. 480894 (painted yellow) has a thin pulley for US 20 mph and Euro 25, 30 kmh versions. 480880 red is deeper (25.5 mm) than 480894 (24.4mm).

Clutch Washers: The Batavus crank goes from 12mm to 15mm right at the edge of the needle bearing. The clutch needle bearing is lubed by the gasoline and oil mist in the crankcase. The three special steel washers, one cupped, seal the crankcase pressure on the spinning crankshaft, along with the rubber crank seals.

First the felt ring #23 goes into a recess in the housing-pulley #71. Then the large 15mm washer #41 goes on, just over the 12-15 step in the crankshaft. Then the 12mm saucer spring #22 goes on with the dish side up (outward). Then on 25 and 30 mph versions with the brick red pulley, the 12mm small washer #79 goes on, into the dish of the saucer spring. Then the aluminum clutch hub with large steel saucer in back goes onto the flat sided part of the crank, and rests against the #41. When the outer nut is tightened, the saucer spring is compressed slightly, so that the crankcase is sealed by the metal-to-metal contact ring between #79 and #22. When the engine is running, but the rear wheel is stopped, #79 spins, but #41 is stationary. Once the bike gets over 10mph, #41 and #79 are both spinning in sync, so the metal-to-metal pressure seal gets better.

Crankcase Pressure Leaks: All of this special washer business allows the needle bearing to never need greasing. But if a washer is missing, there is a small pressure leak. A small crankcase pressure leak causes a small loss of engine power at low speeds.

On a two-stroke crankcase the leak alternates in both directions. Piston going down causes some fuel mist to get pushed out. Piston going up causes some fresh air to get sucked in. Then the cycle repeats. Because of the rapid reversal of direction, at low engine speeds the leak has more time to happen, due to inertia. So the effect of leaving out one of the washers is to cause less “low-end torque”. The engine is weak until it gets going fast, then it is normal but lean.

There is a small grease seal in the needle bearing #24. But it is not a pressure seal with a ring spring. So it is sealed partially, even without the washers. That is why leaving out the washers only causes a small loss of low speed power.

Left Crank Seal: The clutch side crank seal is special. The lip lies outside of the edge plane. That is to say, it sticks out. On most other seals the seal lip lies in between the edge’s planes.

A regular seal lip is in the wrong location. It cannot hug the needle bearing shell.

Engine Covers:

Laura M48 magneto (right) and clutch (left) covers are the same. There are different versions, including aftermarket, and different stickers.

Motobecane, Laura Batavus, Laura Badger, TYM Angel, TYM Speed Bird magneto covers all interchange, because they all have a 124 mm inner diameter.

Laura M48 versions, left 20mph, right 25 and 30.
The “silent” mount (25 & 30) has rubber cushions.

Conclusions:

To upgrade a 25 mph to 30, you have to change the carburetor assembly, head, sprocket and exhaust.

To upgrade a 20 mph, you have to change the “whole” engine, carburetor, exhaust and sprockets.

The M48-03 (20 mph) version parts are made to not interchange, so you can’t upgrade easily. The clutch hub with smaller front pulley is painted golden yellow and uses a thinner and longer belt, so you can’t put a 30mph clutch hub, painted brick red (the belt would slip because the sides don’t touch).

From a distance you can tell a 30mph version by the extra think 28mm exhaust header.

From a distance you can tell a 20mph version by the yellow clutch and thin long belt.

These early Batavus mopeds had Domino controls. The purple VA on the left has a Domino left control and a Magura right control. Weird. The orange VA on the right has a Domino left control and a Domino wrap around throttle right control. It must have a thumb lever for the choke but it is not very visible.

History

Welcome. Here is a brief history from Wikpedia. The full article is here.

In 1904 Andries Gaastra opened a shop in Heerenveen Holland, selling clocks and small farm machinery. Within two years, he was selling bicycles. Soon, he began making and selling is own bicycles under the Batavus brand.

By 1917 Batavus had taken over a large bicycle factory. In the 1930’s they diversified to produce carrier tricycles, motorcycles, and ice skates. World War II saw the temporary shutdown of the factory. Business resumed in 1945 when the war ended and demand for bicycles increased. The company invested in a new factory with modern assembly lines, which brought it to the forefront of bike manufacturing. In 1948, Batavus was one of the first to develop and manufacture its own moped.

In 1969, Batavus acquired the bicycle and motorcycle production of another Dutch company, Magneet. Then in 1970 they joined the Dutch Laura group, which includes Laura Motoren BV. Their name became Batavus Intercycle. By the late 1970’s Batavus Intercycle was the largest producer of bicycles and mopeds in Holland. The company’s 350,000 sq ft Heerenveen plant employed 700, to produce 70,000 mopeds and 250,000 bicycles a year. 55 percent of its production was for export, 45 percent for the Netherlands, which had more than two million mopeds in 1977.

US models: From about 1973 to 1975 only a few hundred were sold. But from 1976-83 thousands of Batavus mopeds were sold in the USA, when US laws welcomed mopeds. Batavus USA Inc was the importer/distributor, at 2546 NE Expressway Atlanta GA 30345. After 1980, Batavus Bikeways Inc, at 3061 Kingston Ct #A, Marietta GA 30067 was the importer/distributor. The Batavus USA logo is from their parts price list of 1981.
