Broken brake handle By jimrobo1 (Read 847 times)

My son just bought a PCC Beyond 50 moped from someone who only put 1500 miles on it, and it's mint. It fell off the kickstand this week and busted the tip off the left-side brake handle...bummer. We do not know of any dealers or parts sources...can someone help us find a new brake handle? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Remove the brake handle and send/post a pic of it .

The bike is used daily, but I can photograph it on the bike. I will have to figure out how to upload the picture, though.

Your welcome to send it by text message . The pic is important because during production the Chinese are known for miss matched parts .

I hope you have better luck finding a replacement than I did. I left my scoot on the quick stand and it blew over in a big storm last year and broke the rear brake handle in half. I must have checked 20 on line parts suppliers and hundreds of handles and never found anything that looked like my handle. I finally had to take a piece of hardened steel angle iron to fashion the bracket that it piveted on and compressed the switch for the brake lights and then fashioned an extetion handle out of angled anodized aluminum that I attaced. It took two days at the grinder and fine tuning with my dremel but it works great and I was able to fine tune it to fit my short stubby fingers better than the origional (not that I would want to do it again). It worked out ok but It would have been a lot less frustrating if I could have just found a proper replacement. Good luck.
