Engine stop switches/buttons had to be reachable by the right thumb, while horn and light switches had to be reachable by the left thumb. Lights, rims, brakes and tires had to be US DOT approved. Starting in 1972, the USA adopted safety standards for motorcycles and motor-driven cycles (Mopeds had not been defined yet).

A typical 1960’s moped had a 15 watt headlight and a 2 watt tail light, both powered by the same 17 watt generator coil. Mopeds did not have brake lights or extra generator coils for them. In the 1960’s not many countries worldwide had laws about the brightness of moped lights or the placement of switches and buttons. Magneto-Generator History: Moped magnetos changed as moped lights changed over the years. Bosch makes magnetos with extra generator coils, one for each light, to eliminate the over-voltage and under-voltage problem. If the bulb watts is more, then the voltage is less so the light is dim. The total watts of the bulbs has to match the watts of the generator, for the voltage to be 6 volts. When two or more bulbs share the same generator wire, and one of the bulbs burns out, the others will get an over-voltage, like 8 or 10 volts, become instantly bright and soon burn out. But under certain circumstances the voltage can be less, like 3 volts, or more, like 10 volts. Normally the correct bulbs are used, and none are burned out. The magneto has two separate functions, 1) produce sparks for ignition, 2) produce electric power for lights.ġ) Ignition Pulses: The magneto produces precisely timed pulses, which are transformed into sparks by an internal or external coil.Ģ) Lights Power: The lights power is normally 6 volts alternating current (6V AC). CABLES 100's are illustrated and specified.Hardware: metric bolts screws, nuts, washers.
