Hi, used to have a 78 c90 back in the days when I was courting my late mrs, so want to try and bring back some memories from near 40yrs ago! I'm looking for a really mint late 70s/early 80s six volt model ideally,but maybe a later model in red also, so if anybody can steer me in the right direction, would be really grateful! Cheers!

Re: Old newbie
Welcome to the club , the 6 volt 90s are not the best to get along with these days as not a lot is available as spares . The 70 and 50cc 6 volt bikes all share the same engine mounts and frame size as the 12 volt 90s ,so a round headlight 12 volt bike from the start of the 12 volters would be ideal ....just find one
Having said that a good 12 volt 90 will go any where you want,tour the world ,down to the shops or 1000 miles in 24 hours .

Re: Old newbie
Look in the bikes for sale section , there's a c70c for sale that looks quite nice, as much power as a 90,it's got the round headlight version and solid rear munguard ,but the better 12v electrics for decent money .
