Fat City Moped was established in 1978 as one of the original moped shops in the US by Mike Cornell.

Fat City had it's main store in Plymouth, and a second store in Sheboygan, WI. Fat City Moped is now an online store only.

From '78-82, they sold over 500 Sachs, Vespa, Jawa, and Indian brand mopeds and Vespa and Bajaj scooters.

Mike moved up to Harleys in '84 and spent the next 20 years around them. In 2002, he rekindled his interest in Sachs and Vespas for the purpose of building a collection, which led him to parts suppliers around the world, and the opportunity to mix a little business with pleasure.

Mike visits suppliers in Europe from time to time, and strives to keep hard to find items at reasonable prices for enthusiasts. He also specializes in the hard to find stuff, little stuff, miscellaneous stuff, and mostly vintage.

The featured ped in the photo is Mikes' wife Brendas' 1980 Sachs Prima with a hopped up 505/D motor that goes about 40 on race gas. She uses it to do her grocery shopping and errands during the riding season. She had an identical bike in 1980 when she rode it to her job as a grade school teacher.

The business strategy of fatcitymoped.com is simple: Keep the sport alive and keep everyone happy.
