TOMOS A3 APPEARANCE

It’s easy to see a color scheme with this restoration.  The moped was custom painted blue.  The wheels and various accent parts were painted orange.  The nipples on the spokes were hand-painted to match the frame of the moped. “M” bars are installed with orange grips.  Translucent orange BMX pedals add to the color scheme. The original seat is upholstered with a nice shade of tan leather with the Tomos logo stitched on the rear of it in orange. New decals were made with some orange stroke around the Tomos name. Whitewall tires complete the vintage look of this moped restoration.

MODS

The factory taillight was replaced with some custom L.E.D. taillights. The small buckets that hold each L.E.D. bulb are made to look as part of the rear fender and not as an addition.

ENGINE

The engine was kept stock.  It was rebuilt with new seals, bearings, and gaskets.  Detail work on the ignition cover of the engine was added.  The Tomos logo is painted to the same accent orange as well as the drive gear cover.  The original exhaust was cut for appearance.
