1979 Puch Magnum Cafe Racer Vintage Mopeds

1979 Puch Magnum build by Pretty Bomber Mopeds (https://www.instagram.com/prettybombers/).  We’ve featured a sweet Puch Cobra cafe racer build from them, you can see that here Pretty Bomber Mopeds | Puch Cobra.  Pretty Bomber Mopeds is a moped builder out of Denver, their work is good and they ship around the country.

The Puch Magnum is one of the more popular mopeds around.  It has a great classic look and most people build them into cafe racers.  In a previous article about what mopeds I recommend to new riders, this is one of them.  Puch did a good job engineering the Magnum, they feel solid and are a little taller than most mopeds.  The tanks hold more fuel than step-through mopeds, and it can be removed if they needs to be cleaned or replaced.

PBM did a good job of rebuilding this Magnum.  He kept it simple and clean.  Most of the time the engine under seat covers are missing, but Magnum mopeds still look good without them.  The chrome and black colorway should appeal to most people.  It is slightly modified but not so much that someone could add their own touches to make it their own.
