The Jonnez is based on a 1984 model.

The Jonnez ES is a moped/minibike which has been modelled after the Suzuki PV. It has a top speed of 91 km/h and has four gears. The stock Suzuki PV 50 is equipped with a 50cc cylinder kit, however, the Jonnez ES is tuned with an 80cc cylinder kit, a 20mm carburetor, and an aftermarket air filter and exhaust. It runs on two-stroke fuel, which can be bought at Teimo's shop. The Jonnez is equipped with a small rack on the rear which can support items up to 30kg in weight, including shopping bags. Heavier items will affect the performance and handling of the bike so keep this in mind. The name comes from the Finnish term "mopojonne", which means a teenager who drives a moped and drinks energy drinks, with the Euro Shopper energy drink, or "ES" for short, being one of the most popular. It is the first vehicle in the game that can be picked up by the player. It can be very useful to put it in another vehicle, and if something happens with it (running out of fuel, the car breaks down, etc.), the bike can be used to get to where the player needs to go.

The Jonnez is a very versatile vehicle, useful for completing small shopping runs and errands (especially on Saturdays and Sundays during the rally). The rack on the back is perfect for shopping bags and/or bottles of oil etc. An alternative use of the Jonnez is to leave it in the Church graveyard, so the player can quickly get home or to their wrecked car if the player is killed without having to rely on the bus or a lift from Pena.

The moped's texture can be changed by editing the "jonnez_template.png" file in the "*/My Summer Car/Images" folder, then saving it as "jonnez.png".

Starting and operating

Jonnez fuel tap set to "OFF" position

Upon starting a new game, the Jonnez ES is full of fuel. The bike has to be stood up to be able to drive it, the kickstand will help with this. If the bike has fallen, approach it from the seat side of the bike and the player will bend down and place it vertically. Get on the bike by walking into it and pressing the enter driving mode key (⏎ by default.) On the left of the bike will be the fuel tap.

There are three settings for the fuel tap: closed, open and reserve. If you look at the bike from the left-hand side and imagine a clock face, then 6 o'clock is open, 9 o'clock is closed and 12 o'clock is a reserve. Left click rotates tap clockwise, right click - counterclockwise. The final reserve position is only for emergencies when the player has completely run out of 2-stroke fuel and must get to the shop to buy more. In the ON position, the moped will leave 0.5 liters of fuel in to the tank, switch to RES (reserve) to use the final 0.5 liters of the tank.

Once the fuel tap has been opened, the player can look down toward the kick-starter and (using left mouse button) click when the on-screen text appears. If the bike has not been started for a while or the player has saved, the kick-starter will take up to 5 or 6 kicks to get it going. If the bike stalls, restarting it usually only takes one kick. When changing to first gear, the player should hold in the clutch (default key X) as changing to first gear while stationary and without holding the clutch will stall the bike. Press the throttle and then let go of the clutch, this should launch the bike without stalling.

After that, it can be driven almost like a normal car. Press the button on the left handlebar to turn on the lights. The brightness of the headlight depends on the engine RPM, where the light is brighter with higher RPM. To turn the engine off, there is a kill switch on the right handlebar.

A helmet is available to be worn by the player. It protects the player from being hit in the eyes by a bug (causing blindness) and will also prevent the player from being fined for not wearing a helmet when going through a police checkpoint. However, the player will still be fined for driving the moped because it is unregistered.

Handling

The Jonnez ES handles very well, taking jumps and landing flawlessly, and turning very well. When braking and turning, the bike tends to flip on its side and slide towards the direction the player was trying to turn. Because of this, take sharp turns with caution. Alongside that, when taking off, traction can be poor from the first gear being the most powerful gear. Try to take off in a somewhat straight line while in first gear.

Driving notes

Carrying Jonnez with items on its rack

• The bike is not supported by the auto clutch feature. It is advised you either use the clutch when driving or rev before up-shifting.
• Shifting down at high speeds even with the clutch depressed will cause the moped to slow down drastically, turn to the side, and fall over. This can be very dangerous when braking on the highway and can be avoided by slowing down considerably before downshifting.
• The rack is "sticky" - when placed, items will hold on to it like being tied with ropes. Though crashing or turning too violently may cause items to detach and fall off. The nice thing is that items placed on the rack remain attached to it even when you pick up Jonnez itself - this way Jonnez can be used as improvised movable container.
• Driving at speeds above 45km/h without the Helmet allows for bumblebees to hit the player's eyes and temporarily blind him, which may result in a deadly crash.
• Speed limit of 45 km/h is enforced at police checkpoints. Going above this limit will result in getting a speeding fine.

Trivia

• Although only serving as a humorous reference, the name "Jonnez ES" could be considered anachronistic because Euro Shopper itself wasn't founded until 1996, a year after the events of My Summer Car, and the term "Jonne" (in context of energy drink consuming teens) not being used until much later.
• The bike is powered by a Magneto which in the PV is the power source for the ignition and lights, it's a metallic rim (which also acts as the flywheel), in the inner section there are magnets attached into it, under the magneto (rotor) are two coils (stator). The rotor is spun by the crankshaft directly. Pre 1994 in Finland mopeds had a weight limit of 60kg. Which meant some unnecessary parts had to be removed at Solifer moped plant, in order to make it weigh less than 60 kilograms. Cut parts were: 5th gear, 2-stroke oil reservoir, battery, rear and front rack and 12 volts to 6-volt conversion. The PV was imported to Finland between 1981 to 2000 by Solifer. 1998 models had 12-volt electric system (Year 2000 model a battery) and 1994-2000 separate oil reservoir (no need to pour oil into the fuel tank). The magneto causes the front light brightness to change at different RPMs. In real-life that effect is not as noticeable.
• The rear gear has the same texture as the camshaft gear, but it has no teeth.
• The seat used to be black in earlier versions of the game, before being recoloured to red in an update.
• The Jonnez's model year is 1987.
• Although importation of the PV50 ended in the year 2000, the PV is still a really famous mean of transportation for the young.
