The Puch Maxi is a moped that was manufactured by the Austrian manufacturing company Puch through the 1970s and 1980s that is well known for its reliability, ease of maintenance,[1] and fuel economy (up to 120 mpg).

[2] These mopeds gained wide acceptance during the 1973 oil crisis and are still widely available for aftermarkets, and mint examples are still valued by collectors today.

The later models feature a kick start mechanism.

The Puch Maxi comes in several models:[4] [5] The Puch Maxi uses a 2 stroke 48cc two stroke gasoline engine of 38mm bore 42mm stroke that comes in three horsepower ratings: 1.0, 1.5, and 2 HP that limits the speed to 20 mph (32kmh), 25 mph (40 kmh) and 30 mph (48 kmh) respectively.

However, these can be modified by de-restricting the airbox, carburetor, exhaust manifold, pipe, and the use of aftermarket and performance parts.
