Today’s vintage moped is from New York City’s Upjet moped club. Parker’s (https://www.instagram.com/parkerbowab/) 1980 General 5 Star C2 is powered by the rare Minarelli C2 engine. The C2 is similar to the Minarelli V1 but came with an internal dual variated transmission. Minarelli did not produce the variated engines for many years, this makes the engine rarer than their V1 motors.
