The bike looks in pretty good shape except for the seat. Not too sure about the back tire..don't know if it just needs air or to be replaced.

Cool. I had a Puch Motocross bike for a while. Well engineered, but a bit heavy.
If you are going to ride it more than a few feet, I'd strongly suggest you replace both tires. 48 -year-old rubber can be a bit unreliable....

Little bikes are fun.
Rather than spend a huge amount of time and money on a pursuit, you can go out and nearly immediately scare the crap out of yourself and then put it away again for months while you -A. build up courage again, and B. forget about what happened the last time.

This might be a good starting point: http://moped2.org/mclass.htm
