Engine
The Maxi's engine came in three different horsepower ratings: 1, 1.5, and 2 HP, which correspond to mopeds limited to 20, 25, and 30 m.p.h., respectively. The differences between the 1.5 HP and 2 HP versions are minor, the 1.5 HP version can be altered to effectively become a 2 HP version by derestricting the airbox, exhaust pipe, removing the head gasket, and re-tuning the carb. For detailed information, see the Puch horsepower differences.
Transmission
Maxis were produced in both E50 (one speed) and ZA50 (two speed) versions. The two versions can be identified by the shape of their gearbox covers; one-speeds have circular gearboxes while two-speeds have rectangular gearboxes. Both types are automatic transmissions, operated by a centrifugal clutch, which engages once the engine reaches sufficient RPMs.

Maxi Guam Edition
A few versions of the Maxi have popped up in America with VIN plates stating they were made in Guam. These actually have quite a few changes made from the standard USA models. Guam models have Honda-style controls with switches integrated into the lever and throttle housings. Also they came stock with turn signals, including special sidecovers which enclose a small battery. In addition to these changes, the swingarm is Magnum-style, but with closed drop-outs for use with sealed bearing axles, as well as built-in buddy pegs. All-in-all the Guam built Maxis are arguably better quality and more modern than the standard USA models.
