Cool. There are some websites like Valley Scooters that sell a real pedal moped, similar to the Puch, with a 4t Honda cub motor clone. Its not very difficult to replace the 50cc cub motor with a 4 spd 140cc Lifan.

Love those big wheels on the Punch... remember riding one years ago and it was a smooth ride compared to these 10 inch.

I started off on the Motobecane Mobyette which was had a CVT drive. It would take on hills that the others of the era would require you to pedal until your legs gave out or get off and get off and walk beside them however it would sometimes be at only 5 or 10 mph. The Yamaha 50cc Scooter that came out in the late 70's was what killed the other moped brands where I lived North of Boston. Motorcycle based components with a more torquey 50cc engine and at a competitive price at the time coming in cheaper than the Vespa. Made all the other mopeds seem like toys.
It was a fun bike for a 25 mph ride and mine had turn signals, saddle bags and a windshield.
