Then you need one of these:

Complete with suspension and disc brakes.

(Seen in a Hong Kong shopping arcade today, it’s antique)

It's a nice build. I bet the wheels took a while. It's made to look antique by fitting a load of antique accessories, but it's modern. They never had cheap Chinese band brakes in antique days, nor did they have plastic parts on the carbs, those fancy spark plug caps and modern toothed belt drives. The rear brake also gives it away and the pedals are the same as the ones I got off Ebay. you can buy those motors on Aliexpress. Crank-case induction is also a modern feature.

or it could be a fake of course....
I think you're right. The bloody Chinese will copy anything. They saw an online photo of that guy's genuine vintage moped and made exact replicas. They even copied his fake back light and vintage plastic bits.

BTW, I would try putting any calcium carbide in that acetylene lamp. I think the LED will more than smoke when it starts raining.
