Roland’s (https://www.instagram.com/roland_culey/) MBK Swing build is today’s moped of the day.  The MBK 51 Swing is a model of mopeds manufactured by Motobecane. The MBK is powered by the AV10 three transfer case inducted engine.  This gave the Motobecane better power over its other engine versions.

The 51 models are similar to the Motobecane 50V series.  Differences between them are the front forks, toolbox, rear rack, and other accessories. Another noticeable difference is the removal of the pedals and replaced with a kickstart.  The frames and swingarms are very similar between 50 and 51.
