This is my old SYM City Hopper (Super Fancy in other countries). I bought it from a woman where I work as it had stood outside her house for a year. She told me she couldnt get it to run and ti had been in an accident. I gave her £35 for it. I stripped all the panels off it as she had rear ended a car with the bike and the front 'guard was dented and split and there were a couple of cracks elsewhere too. I discovered that the HT lead wasnt on the Spark plug properly. I refitted it and the bike started up 3rd kick! Result! I repaired all the cracks with alulinium mesh and car body filler, and got the dent out of the front mudguard by heating it with a hot air gun and pushing it out with a garden trowel. Then I sprayed all the sickly blue panels with Fiat Broom Yellow and reassembled it. It passed its MoT (UK yearly safety check) first time. Took it to my scooter club and people couldnt believe the acceleration out of a 50cc! People rode it round the carpark, and even the die hard Lambretta riders came back with huge grins on their faces!
Its got a go-slower exhaust on it in the pic as well as a suspension jack up kit. They both came off before I sold it!
