Sells new for $2995.00 Plus $250.00 shipping! Go to foldingmotorbikes dot com for full information. They are the ONLY US Distributor if you want to buy it brand new. This is the exact same model selling currently, there have been no changes in the design since this was manufactured. The Italian State Police run a fleet of these rugged, highly engineered folding scooters for urban patrol and helicopter ground support. If it meets their demands you know it is high quality. This scooter would be right at home in large (or small) American cities and a perfect commuter. When at your destination, fold it, pick it up and carry it up stairs, then stash it in your office or front closet. It does not smell nasty or LEAK ANY GAS even when stored on it's side. No battery needed to start it and it will run for weeks on a tank of gas. The only maintenance is airing up the tires every now and then - that's IT! I would estimate fuel mileage is 100 mpg. Simply mix a couple of ounces of synthetic two stroke oil with gas right in the tank for clean running. No insurance or license plate, registration, taxes, fees, helmet or even a driver's license is needed since it is not a "motor vehicle" at 49ccs. If it was 50cc it would be! This scooter has been in ARIZONA and that means NO corrosion due to our exceptionally dry air. Take a good look at the front wheel in the pictures to see how clean and UN-oxidized the metal components are. It starts first kick and runs like a Swiss - errr - Italian watch: slow. Top speed is 25 mph on a flat road. It WILL climb surprisingly steep hills at 5 mph (a brisk walk) since it has a variable ratio drive. Collectors from all over the world know the value of vehicles that have been stored in Arizona. That's exactly why the US Air Force stores thousands of planes here in Tucson. I used it with my plane for two trips then stashed it in my garage where it has resided for the past 13 years - untouched and unused. It needs a new home now that I've retired from aviation. This can be folded and shipped ground UPS anywhere in the US - it weighs 65 pounds and the dimensions are listed below. I will securely box/pad it for you and drop it off at UPS for $25.00 extra. The folding moped DI BLASI is the sole one which combines the comfort and the safety of the traditional mopeds to the possibility to be carried in other means of transportations (boats, campers, light aircrafts, cars). There are several small scooters available in the market. However often they are quite unsafe and uncomfortable just due to these small dimensions. On the contrary, the moped DI BLASI, when unfolded, has a wheelbase (93,5 cm) which allows a comfortable and safe riding position. When folded, its size is smaller than that of the mini scooters. There are some dismountable scooters in the market. The mopeds DI BLASI is the sole folding: it can be folded to the dimensions of a bag (79,5 x 35,5 x 61,5 cm), in 4 seconds and three simple steps, without using tools and without screwing or unscrewing any device; in the same easy and quick way it returns to be a normal moped. There are some light mini scooters available in the market but only the moped DI BLASI combines light weight (only 30 Kg) to safety and sturdiness. Several of the mini scooters available in the market have no type approvals. The moped DI BLASI, in the variant equipped with catalytic muffler (R7E.2 and R7ES.2), got the type approval according to Euro2 European regulations and DOT US approval. Therefore the moped DI BLASI is ideal for use in conjunction with campers, cars, boats, light aircrafts and in general for leisure activities. Furthermore it is the sole one suitable for drink & drive services, for services to rent-a-car companies or to garages for the collection of their cars, etc. It can be proposed also as business gift. The standard version R7E fits a frame made of high tensile carbon steel and painted with polyester powders. The version R7ES fits frame and hardware made of stainless steel (AISI 304) and therefore is ideal for use in conjunction with boats. On demand, the moped can be equipped with useful accessories: carrying bag, rear luggage rack. The 49,9 cc engine and the variomatic drive deliver a top speed of 45 km/h. The maintenance is simple and can be carried out in any repair shop.

Here's what buyers have said about their purchases from me: "Superb transaction to the UK, excellent goods, my pleasureA1++++++++++++++++++++++ " Sep-14-06 (1973 Honda CB 350F sold to a buyer from England) "Exceptional motorcycle--this seller has the goods" Sep-19-06 (1972 Kawasaki H1B 500 triple) "Great seller. Excellent product. Very accommodating with Buyer requests." Oct-09-06 (1990 Honda GB500) "Thank You...I looked at the bike yesterday and I love it . Best original Ct-90 I have ever seen." Oct-29-12 (1972 Honda Trail 90 with 240 miles) Amazing Ebayer!! Great to do business with! Extremely honest & very helpful.A++ May-05-2014 (1979 Honda Trail 90 with 135 miles)NOTE: Since this is 49cc it is not classified as a motor vehicle, hence there is no title available. It is sold with a bill of sale only. Ebay will not allow a listing under motorcycles unless you specify it has a title - a quirk in their listing system. I did not want to list it under "scooters" since this might give the impression is a toy or even worse made in China. The DiBlasi is made in Italy to full European Union motorcycle safety standards with lights, horn, turn signals, etc. These safety standard are equivalent and often surpass the US DOT standards.
