Leather Tank Sachs G3 (or maybe Eagle 3?) 40mph, Deluxe & Ready for a new owner!

$1,400.00

Presenting a one-of-a-kind vintage Sachs G3 that’s sure to capture your attention. This classic ride was the pinnacle of style and performance in its day and has been given a unique, customized touch. If you’re an enthusiast looking for a unique project or a one-of-a-kind rider, this moped is for you. When we acquired this moped, it already had a few distinctive modifications. The gas tank boasts an eye-catching faux alligator skin wrap, adding a touch of eccentricity, and the side covers have been expertly painted with automotive-grade paint in a bold red finish. What truly sets this moped apart is the installation of a high-quality Sachs moped Athena piston port cylinder kit. While we can’t confirm if it’s the 70cc or 80cc kit, we can attest to its robust build quality. Paired with a top-of-the-line American-made MLM Sachs G3 People’s Pipe, this moped delivers a performance like no other. The moped has been re-geared to maximize the newfound power, and it’s equipped with fresh tires for a safe and thrilling ride. To address the stock 10mm carburetor limitation, we’ve performed some key upgrades. It now features an MLM intake and a Dellorto Sha 15.15 carburetor, resulting in a significantly enhanced riding experience.

December 2023, we worked out the last few issues and the biks is just great!  It does 40mph with proper idling & acceleration.

Ongoing Improvements… It’s DONE! 

Subsequent to our initial listing, we’ve continued to fine-tune this moped. We swapped out the bottom end, decreased the carburetor size from 18mm to 15mm, and re-tuned the bike. During the last ride, it started up smoothly, idled well, and reached an appropriate top speed considering its performance parts. However, it exhibited some hesitancy off the line, which needed further improvement.

BUT NOW December 2023, we worked out the last few issues and the biks is just great!  it does 40mph with proper idling & acceleration.

**Our Take:**

When it comes to purchasing large and expensive items such as mopeds, e-bikes, or scooters, many people may be tempted to buy directly online from manufacturers and/or in the peer-to-peer market. However, buying from a brick-and-mortar small business like Detroit Moped Works is a better choice, both for the customer and the local economy.

By buying from a small business, you can feel good about supporting the local economy and helping to keep small businesses thriving. Additionally, when you buy from Detroit Moped Works, you can be assured that your bike comes fully professionally assembled, tested, and adjusted, with any warranty work related to shipping damage taken care of before purchase.

Another benefit of buying from a brick-and-mortar store is the ability to test ride the bikes before you buy them, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident on your new vehicle. Detroit Moped Works offers in-store tutorials to ensure that you know how to use your new bike before you take it home, and we are always available for troubleshooting and support.

When you purchase from Detroit Moped Works, you can also take advantage of our 25% discount on all accessories such as helmets, locks, gloves, apparel, covers, upgrades, and more. We also provide all the necessary paperwork to register your moped or scooter in Michigan.

We are committed to ensuring that our customers are satisfied with their purchases and have everything they need to get the most out of their new vehicles.

Please note that there is no warranty on “as-is” mopeds. However, for any bike over $1,000 that we specifically restored to sell, we will “work with you” and not leave you high and dry if anything does arise in the first 60 days.
