In August 2024 I closed for a major stock reorganisation and have been finding much more than was realised.
More parts will appear on the website however some will also be advertised through the Ebay Classic Moped Jumble Store over the next few months.
Our Ebay Store will probably still only advertise less than 1% of all the stock we have.
Classic Moped Spares already acquired many moped parts over the past decade, however to say the volume of Aplins stock has been underestimated would be an understatement.
Thank you again for your patience while we continue to work through the moped parts.

1. Type in the search box which you will find in the top right
Type in one word or maybe two. If you have a part code type it in. For example 14587 that we sell for £1.20 it's over £6 on some market places!
2. Use the drop down boxes and look through the category. Example Tyres - Rim Tape

Aplins Motorcycles of 395-397 Bath Road, Bristol finally closed it's doors on the 31st August 2021. Brian Aplin decided to close the shop to retire after over 60 years in the trade.
I found out Brian was retiring due to an article which was shared from the Bristol Evening Post to a number of Moped enthusiasts. I then popped down the next day on Monday morning to have a look at the 1929 motorcycle that was pictured in the article. I thought the stock would be too much for me to take on, and it was in the process of being counted, sorted, valued and readied for removal.
Many of my customers called and messaged me about what was happening to the stock. Brian at the last minute agreed to accept an offer so that I could keep the stock in the UK for Enthusiasts.
The deal was struck at the last minute and all of the stock redirected to Classic Moped Spares. Fortunately Classic Moped Spares closes in August so I hope to get some time to sort through it all!

A big thank you to everyone who has continued to support us throughout 2020.
We hope your restorations are going well.
Classic Moped Spares was set up a decade ago to help people struggling to find parts for their mopeds. We continue to try to improve our range of products available in what are very difficult times. Many companies that manufacture parts have ceased to trade, however we are still finding new supplies all the time, though regret we cannot do everything!
- We closed throughout the month of August to spend time with the family, and also to rebuild our website from scratch
- Due to lower than expected demand we now send out goods on a Tuesday and Thursday, however everything is now sent tracked and usually just take 1-2 days to arrive
New Website for 2020
- The website may not look that much different, but we hope that it is an improvement on the old one. It is not perfect and improvements will continue to

Fitting Contact Poiints can be a little bit tricky as anyone with stumpy fingers like me knows!
It is essential to have the correct tools to se the correct gap and acertain top dead centre.
We supply a large range of these tools for working on your Mobylette or other moped engine which including piston stops and top dead centre guages.
We also have a large range of contact points including both aftermarket and genuine available. We have fitted both to different mopeds over the years and when fitting points sometimes a little bit of fettling is required to ensure that they work. It essential to ensure that they open and close as they should. Also replacing the condensor can be a good option when you have the cover removed.
These original type NOVI contact points have just arrived in stock. Only slightly more expensive, it is personal choice which type you use.

Just arrived in stock we have a fantastic range of Gurtner Carburretors.
Please Search our store for what you need.
There are now two fitting options now available. Both Carburettors perform the same, but one is just a little bit easier to fit than the other.
--- 12mm inlet carburettor - LOWER COST OPTION
To fit the 12mm carburettor, you will need to remove the original insulating sleeve from inside your original carburettor and put it inside this new one. This will need prising out, without damaging it. This can be a little bit tricky to do as the sleeve can be wedged in over a few years so if you are looking to buying the lower cost option carb then it may be worth seeing if you can remove your sleeve before ordering.Your sleeve will then ensure a snug tight fit when putting the carburettor onto the engine inlet adaptor.
--- 10mm inlet carburettor - EASIER FITTING AS ORIGINAL
