SHUANG MA

This little Chinese moped is one I haven’t come across before. It’s said to be a Chinese copy of the Honda People, and its tiny two-stroke engine is only 24cc. It starts and runs but comes without any paperwork, so would require customs clearance. Both back and front lights are missing, as are the petrol tank outlet and indicators. It’s in the UK, just five minutes from Junction 32 on the M62, and it’s been suggested that it would look good displayed in a Chinese restaurant (when they’re allowed to open!). Shown here are the bike and its elaborate headstock badge.
