1977 Peugeot TSA one of the original cafe mopeds. The TSA is where the Lazer, General, Carabella, and Sachs G4 all got their design from. Even the frame of the Peugeot GT10 is a smaller version of the TSA frame. If you like the look of the Lazer, General, and G4 you should be a fan of the TSA. The Lazer and General are powered by the Minarelli V1 most of the time. Those are good single speed engines and they can be tuned up nicely, but they are not a variated French bike.
Admittedly I own a Peugeot powered 103 moped but I have not gotten it running yet. I’ve ridden some stock 103’s and some modified versions, and they are zippy like Hobbits and most variated bikes. Shoot I don’t know of too many single or two speed mopeds that have better low-end than a variated moped.
This TSA build is from Mopeds Style Custom over in Europe. I love what they have done with this Peugeot but at the same time I appreciate an original moped. I do wish they would have done these mods to a TSA that was not complete and original as this one was. BUT,! as a fan of the TSA tank, cafe racers, and mopeds I’m stoked on this build. Below is the break down of the parts used for this build.
