Mopeds "Riga" - the dream of Soviet childhood comes true

It’s not that there was a shortage of mopeds in the USSR, but it was rare to buy them here and now. I had to “hunt” for this equipment, visiting different stores. Therefore, they often took something that was not what they wanted. Were you driving for “Riga”, but “Karpaty” was on sale? Well, you need to take this moped. Moreover, sometimes they bought equipment for teenagers, and they didn’t want to return without it. But the quality of the Riga was higher in any case, especially the early models. Only a few managed to buy a new moped. It’s not often that parents shell out money for technology for their child. As a rule, teenagers saved up for mopeds themselves. Not for new ones, at least take a used one. But the villagers managed to earn 200-300 rubles per summer on collective farms, or even more.


The author of the channel “#WONDERFUL TECHNOLOGIES with Georgiy Belov” found several mopeds of the Riga brand. They look like they were teleported from the USSR. And this is not just like that - the equipment belongs to the guys from the Mopedists club. The men are already under 40 years old, but they only recently realized the dream of “Riga” and “Karpaty”. And it’s not that they didn’t have enough money before, quite the opposite. It’s just that the dream remained in childhood, then they forgot about it. But in the depths of the subconscious there was an unclosed gestalt. And they finally dealt with him. And you will see how much joy on the faces of the owners of this equipment by watching this video!
