1. Kreidler Models
Kreidler (pronounced Kr-EYE-d-lur) was founded in 1903 as “Kreidlers Metall- und Drahtwerke” (Kreidlers metal and wire factory) by Anton Kreidler. Motorcycle production began in 1951. By 1959, one third of all German motorcycles were manufactured by Kreidler. Visit the Kreidler Museum at http://www.kreidler-museum.de/
In the 1960’s and 70’s Kreidler became very successful in 50cc motorcycle road racing. With riders Hans-Georg Anscheidt, Jan de Vries, Henk van Kessel, and Eugenio Lazzarini, they were FIM World Champions in 1961, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. Those racing Kreidlers were not mopeds (except the very first one), but they did have the same size pistons: tiny. In 1974 Henk van Kessel did a lap around the Belgian Gran Prix at an average speed of 101.7mph. That is unbelievably fast. Read about 120 mph super-high-rpm 50cc road racers at http://www.elsberg-tuning.dk/50ccroadracing.html Now from one extreme to the other, 120 mph 50cc to 20 mph 50cc:
Mofas and Mopeds In Germany there are two kinds of mopeds:
Mofas are 25 km/h (16 mph), no licence required, minimum age 15, no passengers. “Mofa” is short for motorisertes fahrrad (motorized bicycle).
Mopeds are 40 km/h (25 mph), drivers license required (any class), minimum age 16. “Moped” is short for motor mit pedale (motor with pedals).
In the 1950’s and 60’s they used the name “Florett” for everything, motorcycles, mopeds, and mofas. From 1969 to 1982, Kreidler mofa models had the prefix MF, while moped models had prefix MP. In the 1970’s the name “Florett” was for top tank motorcycles, mostly 50cc 5-speed. Starting in 1976 the name “Flory” was used for step-thru mopeds and mofas, both automatic 2-speed and manual grip-shift 2-speed types, and “Flott” was for top-tank mopeds.
Kreidler MP 9 Flory moped was the export-to-USA version of a German-model MP 2. Other MP 2 export (non-German) versions worldwide include MP 6, MP 7, and MP 8. Some things are the same. The MP 9 air filter has “MP 8” molded into it. The MP 9 parts price list uses the term “MP 7” for those parts used only on the more restricted MP 9 models. See below “USA Speed Versions”.
Another ZA: The Kreidler two speed automatic (Zwei gäng Automatik) is like a Puch, Garelli or Tomos two speed, with two centrifugal automatic clutches, in a transmission oil bath compartment, one that gets the bike moving forward, and another that lets it shift automatically between first and second (low and high) gear, according to the rear wheel speed. Roughly speaking, below 15mph it’s in first gear and above 15mph it’s in second gear.
Engine Service: Here is a link to the 1976 engine “Assembly Disassembly Instructions” manual.

3. 1976-81 U.S. Speed Versions
The 1977 MP 9 and MP 19 owners manual says there were four speed versions offered, 17, 20, 25, and 30 mph, for different US states. But none of Myrons Mopeds’s Kreidler brochures or manuals, parts, service or owners, say specifically what parts are on each speed version. The parts catalog is only for 30 mph.
Here is what can be learned from the Kreidler of America, Inc. 1981 Parts Price List and the Kreidler Werke GMBH 1976 Catalog of Spare Parts for MP-9 USA. The carburetor size is always the same 12mm, either early metal-tip-float-needle 1/12/260, or late rubber-tip 1/12/268 which superseded it. There is no other carburetor anywhere in the 1981 USA price list. Other similar Kreidler mopeds and mofas worldwide have 10mm carburetors, such as 1/10/105 or 1/10/126. Besides there being only one carburetor, there is also only one cylinder, one piston, one head, one kind of internal gears, and one intake pipe.
So in the parts price list and catalog, only these four things are different:
Exhaust can be normal 215.23.99 with straight muffler 15.23.74B
Exhaust ca or restricted 215.23.89 with turned-up muffler 15.23.64B
Exhaust The head pipe, rear cone, and baffle are all the same.
Intake gasket can be small or big, Ø10 215.03.06 (MP 7) or Ø12 215.03.25 (MP 9)
Head gasket can be thick or thin, 8.5:1 CR 215.03.30 (MP 7) or 10:1 215.03.44 (MP 9)
Rear sprocket can be big or small, 38T 265.02.12 or 36T 265.02.11 or 36T 265.02.11A
Assuming that the equipment that came on the bikes was in the price list, the speed version differences can be guessed. The guesses are shaded light grey.
30 mph has normal exhaust, big intake gasket, thin head gasket, small rear sprocket
25 mph has restricted exhaust, big intake gasket, thin head gasket, small rear sprocket
25 mphh or normal exhaust, small intake gasket, thick head gasket, small rear sprocket
20 mph has restricted exhaust, small intake gasket, thick head gasket, small rear sprocket
17 mph has restricted exhaust, small intake gasket, thick head gasket, big rear sprocket
All of the other parts on the bike are the same for all speed versions.

The swing arm bushings #2, one on each side, often wear out. The loose swingarm pivot then causes some rear-wheel steering, which makes the bike wobble or weave. There are no replacements available, so far. Here are some dimensions (mm):
swing arm inner space is 81.5, frame outer is 76.0, pivot bolt is 13.95
original bushing: 14.2 ID, 17.35 OD, with a lip 22 by 2.5, brass replacement: 14.1 ID, 17.1 OD
A tube 14.2 x 17 x 76.5, plus two washers 14.2 x 2.5 would be a simpler, but maybe less precise substitute.
The original material is a soft plastic. It squishes or deforms under heavy load. When installed the soft bushing shrinks from 14.2 x 17.35, to 14.0 x 17.0. A hard material like brass would not shrink. That’s why brass replacement bushings need to be slightly smaller than the originals.
