1. USA modelsFlag 1

Tomos began in the US in 1976, but their new A3 moped came out in 1974 in Europe. Before that Tomos made Puchs, under license. 2013 was the last year Tomos USA sold mopeds, until 2017 when Tomos returned with a new importer.

Engine Names (all are under two horsepower, two speed automatic with pedals, some with kick start):
A3”   was 1974-1991
“Top end” is cast iron cylinder with piston controlled intake, two transfer ports, aluminum head.
A35” was 1992-2006
“Top end” is cast iron cylinder with reed valve intake, bigger fins, aluminum head says TOMOS.
“Bottom end” has wider gears and clutches, bigger roller clutch, more solid cases.
A55” was 2004 and later
“Top end” is all-aluminum cylinder with piston controlled intake, four transfer ports, aluminum head.
“Bottom end” is the same as A35.

 

Speed Versions: Starting in late 1976, to satisfy different US state laws, Tomos made three speed versions, A3SL 20mph, A3GM 25mph, and A3SP 30mph. Fortunately, everything is the same on the three speed versions except the piston and the rear chain sprocket. The 30mph 2hp has a piston 50mm tall, and a 22 tooth rear sprocket. The 25mph 1.5hp has a piston 52mm tall, and a 24 tooth rear sprocket. The 20mph 1.0hp has a piston 55mm tall, and a 26 tooth rear sprocket. The longer pistons, below the wrist pin, restrict the intake port opening. Cut the intake side of the piston bottom skirt, to make the total length 50mm, which is 47mm at the edge. See Pistons 10mm Pin. Then change the rear sprocket to 22 tooth, to go the normal speed of 28 to 30 mph.

Pedal or Kick: Before 1989 all models had pedals. They were “true” mopeds. From 1989 on, Tomos also made most models with a kick starter and foot pegs. Here the versions are called “pedal” or “kick” for short.

1975 Tomos Automatic

1975-1976

In 1975 Tomos introduced the two speed automatic moped to the US, simply called “Automatic”. The engine was called an “A3”. 

1975 to early 1976 colors were salmon red or pink orange.

1977 stickers

 

1977 stickers: similar to “late 1976” but with silver background and all capitals.There were 6 different “1977” style sticker sets: 2 seat versions (solo or long “Sport”) times 3 speed versions (20, 25 or 30mph).

1978 stickers (late 1977 to early 1979) came in three flavors

 

 

 

 

 

 

late 1977 to early 1979 stickers: with similar shaded stripes. There were 18 different “1978” style sticker sets: 3 color versions (blue, green, or red/brown) times 2 seat versions (solo or long “Sport”) times 3 speed versions (20, 25 or 30mph).

The 1978 A3SP Sport was nicknamed “the wheelie king” because the first speed torque along with the long seat and no luggage rack, allowed for easy and massive wheelies.

The “wheelie king” did not last long. By late 1979 the long seat was made shorter and one-rider-only warning stickers were added.

The 1980’s were the beginning of warning stickers, on mopeds in general. Over the years more and longer warning labels appeared, on mopeds and all consumer products.

 

 

 


1979-1980

Bullet and Silver Bullet: In late 1979 the Bullet and Silver Bullet model names were introduced.

Bullet was standard. Silver Bullet was deluxe, with “mag” wheels, turn signals, and oil injection.

late 1979-80 Bullet

1979-80 Silver Bullet

late 1979 to 1980 stickers: white TOMOS against white and black stripes that point forward at top. The stickers changed style and stopped saying Sport, or A3SP, or A3GM, or A3SL. Instead there were two sticker sets, white and black that said “Bullet”, or black and red that said “Silver Bullet”. The engine had either Tomos SP (30mph) or Tomos GM (25mph) sticker on the right side.

late 1979 to 1980 colors: In late 1979 the met lime and met brown colors were discontinued. Silver was introduced.

Silver Bullet: The Silver Bullet had more features than the Bullet: oil injection, turn signals, mag type wheels, luggage rack, a lift-up seat (to get to the two stroke engine oil tank) and chrome fenders. Oil injection means you don’t have to mix the oil and gasoline.

Racks and seats: Before 1979, the long seat Tomos models did not have luggage racks. In 1979 Tomos made the “pommel horse” style seat, which is shorter. It had a zipper on the side leading to a tool compartment. The “pommel horse” was too short for two people, intentionally. But it left some room for a luggage rack. Some 1979-80 Bullets had the 1977-78 two-person seat with no luggage rack. They did not all change to “pommel horse” at once.

Met red fade: Many metallic red Tomos mopeds are faded, to appear orange, from sun exposure. Above left is original red, right is faded red. Even new parts painted red will be faded if they were exposed to light. Only bikes that have been kept in the dark most of the time, or under a blanket, are not faded.

Early Golden Bullet (model code 11):The late 1985 to early 1986 Golden Bullet had the older seat, Magura controls, wiring and electrical equipment, like a 1985 Silver Bullet. 

 

 

Golden Bullet (model code 13): The late 1986 to 1988 Golden Bullet had the newer seat, more powerful magneto, Domino “80s black” controls, and electrical wiring and switches, like a 1987 Golden Bullet.

 

 

 

 


1986-1991

1986-91 colors: metallic red, metallic blue, black

Side covers: Bullet had matching blue or red, but Bullet TT had black.

1986-91 Bullet stickers

1986-91 Golden Bullet

1987-91 Bullet TT stickers

1986-91 stickers: same as 1981-85 except BULLET and GOLDEN BULLET side stripes are curved

1987-88 Bullet TT stickers are slightly different from 1989-91. 1989-91 Bullet TT has longer and more color stripes, and is the same as 1992-93 Bullet TT.

First top tank: Tomos introduced it’s first “top tank” moped in 1987, the Bullet TT. It was a Bullet with the “look” of a motorcycle.

First kick model: The 1987 Bullet TT was the first “kick” model offered in the US.

6V to 12V: The lighting system (magneto, light bulbs, and horn) changed in 1986, from 6 volt to 12 volt, still alternating current (AC). The wires became thinner. The switches changed, because the controls changed. The 1986-91 switches are integrated into the Domino controls. Before they were clamped onto the handlebar separately. All of the lighting equipment is still made by CEV.

All black engines: All of the 1986-91 Tomos “late” A3 engines were black. Before 1986, the basic Bullet models had natural aluminum engine cases.

Cases: The 1986-91 crank cases were cut wider for modern one-piece bearings, 17x40x12 6302. Before 1986 they had 17x40x10 L17 three-piece bearings, obsolete and hard to get.

Carb: The carb is a Dellorto SHA14/12P, not an Encarwi A83, but still 12mm.

Controls; The controls are Domino “1980’s black”, not Magura. The throttle cable is single ended (universal), not double ended and specific.

Wheels: The wheels are still Grimeca cast aluminum alloy, “5-star” style with sealed bearings, not “snowflake” style with loose balls and cones.

First square headlights: were on 1989-91 Bullet TT models. From 1992 to 1997 square headlights were on all models, and most models from 1998 to 2013.

The first A35 engines were on the last batch of 1991 models. The next year 1992 the A3 engine was discontinued, replaced by the beefier A35. 

1988 Pryer/Tomos trike

 

Pryer/Tomos Trikes: Late 1980’s Tomos 3-wheel mopeds were made by Pryer Motorcraft, in Ada, Ohio USA. The front “bike part” is made by Tomos, and the rear “trike part” is made by Pryer. In the early 1980’s, Pryer made trike rear end kits for Gadabout and Motomarina Tri-Power 3-wheel mopeds, with Minarelli engines. By the late 1980’s only Tomos was making new mopeds for sale in the US. The same trike kits fit any single left side chain drive moped, pretty much. 

For 1992-later Pryer had different choices for the cargo box. Hot food, cold food, flat bed, or a small frame version with either a basket or a locking box. Because a Tomos automatic moped starts easy, with a backwards kick, even stationary with the rear tires on the ground, they make the best choice for a heavy-cargo trike. Other moped trikes with Puch or Minarelli engines must first get the trike moving forward above 7mph to start the engine. See Brands/America/others scroll down to Pryer, for more info.

Birth of a Nation: After the civil war, in 1992 Yugoslavia’s republics became separate nations. Tomos VIN digits 1,2,3 changed from Yugoslavia Two (VY2) to Slovenia One (ZZ1), after the former Yugoslavian Republic of Slovenia became a separate nation.

Carburetor Location: In 1996 the carburetor location changed from center mounted to right side mounted. To the rider, the difference is not noticeable, but to the mechanic, the side mount carburetor is ten times easier to work on. Before 1996, you had to remove or at least lower the engine away from the frame to gain access to the carburetor. Changing a jet takes 50 minutes on a 1995, but only 5 minutes on a 1996. 

Bigger Brakes: From 1974 to 1995 the brake drums were always 90mm diameter. From 1996 to 2013 the brake drums were 105mm diameter. So a 1996 Tomos can stop faster than a 1995 can. 

Wheels: The 1996-2007 wheels, cast aluminum alloy, made by Tomos, had two styles, “Slot” or “Ten Ray”, both with 105mm brake drums and motorcycle type sealed wheel bearings. During most of the years from 1996 to 2007, Tomos would alternate wheel styles, “Slot” one year, “10 Ray” the next. The wheel styles changed at different times of the year for different models. Color also changed. See above.

1996-99 Sprint stickers

2000-05 Sprint stickers

 

In 2000 the Sprint and Targa stickers changed slightly. There were no replacement Targa stickers sold by Tomos, because the name Targa was owned by Porsche. So Targa and Targa LX stickers have always been scarce.

2004-2013

Low Emission High Efficiency A55 Engine: 2004 was the first year of the new A55 engine, but only on the Revival TS. In 2005 the new A55 “top end” was on Revival, Streetmate and Arrow models. The other models continued using the older A35 engine through early 2006. Through most of 2006 there was no supply, as US EPA laws for on-road under-250cc vehicles took effect. It became illegal to sell under-250cc new street motorcycles in the US, made after Jan 2006, unless they were compliant with EPA air pollution testing standards and labeling requirements. Those requirements were so strict that only a handful of two-stroke scooters and mopeds were able to comply. Tomos developed the A55 clean burning moped engine to meet these US clean air standards, as well as other countries like Switzerland.

Early A55 Idling Problem – Stumbles after a long red light:  It took awhile to get some idling problems solved. During early 2005, Tomos sent free replacement intake manifolds and other things as a kit to dealers for each A55 bike that needed it. The new rubber and steel intake pipes had a constant diameter, while the old ones had two steps where the diameter changed suddenly. Even with that, the A55 often does still stumble if it’s idle mixture is adjusted too rich.

While there were a few 2006 Sprints, made at the end of 2005, there may not have been any 2006 ST or LX made at all.

By 2007 all Tomos mopeds had the A55 engine.

Tomos VIN numbers (US models):

From 2000 to 2013, the US importer was Tomos USA, a division of Hidria (Tomos).

From 2014 to 2016, there was no US importer. No US models were made or sold.

From 2017 on, the US importer was PGI Moto (Tomos America). The VINs changed.

2013 Streetmate R    kick: ZZ1A9312xDKxxxxxx     
2013 Streetmate R  pedal: ZZ1A9412xDKxxxxxx

2017 Sprint xxxxxx pedal: ZZ1MB1BExHSxxxxxx     MSRP $1750 (plus assembly, freight, tax)
2017 Sprint Classic pedal: ZZ1MB1BExHSxxxxxx     MSRP $1825 (plus assembly, freight, tax)

2017 Racing TT xx    kick: ZZ1MB1BExHSxxxxxx     MSRP $2250 (plus assembly, freight, tax)

The 2017-18 Tomos models all have the same model code.

So a 1981-2013 Tomos can be identified by the VIN code, but a 2017-18 cannot.

6. Tomos European Models

1955: TOMOS began

1956 to 1981+ Puch remakes: From 1956 to 1981 Tomos made, under license, mopeds and motorcycles that were exact copies of Puch models. Until 1973 the Puch remakes were called Colibri 1,2,3, up to 15. After 1973 most were called APN. They had 2, 3, and 4-speed manual transmission. Pedal models had left-hand grip-shift. Kick models had foot shift.

1973 to 1974 Tomos A3: In 1973 Tomos introduced their own stamped steel frame, engine, and wheels, the 1973 Automatic 1, a one speed. A two speed version soon followed, the 1973 Automatic 3, and the 1974 Automatic 3K. These went 28mph, made 2.0 horsepower, and weighed 97 lbs. The A3 pedaled forward like a bicycle, yet started the engine by kicking backwards. There is no start lever on a Tomos.

(Euro) metallic lime

1974 Tomos Ad for Europe

1974 Automatic 3
(Euro) salmon red

1969-72 Colibri 14V
(Euro) “pink” orange

 

The European mopeds shown have the same colors as the 1975-76 US models did. They had smaller lights, no brake light, no electric horn, and no side reflectors. Other than the lighting equipment, the rest of the bike is the same.

7. Tomos A55 Review

 

Myrons showroom 2011 south wall, with 1976 Tomos Automatic hanging, the first US-model Tomos. 2011 Streetmate and 2010 Revival-TS succeeding it by 35 years. The new models way outperform the older ones, in acceleration, speed, braking, handling, lights, comfort, safety, reliability. It’s many mopeders dream to have a 35 year old bike with the performance and reliability of a brand new one.

 

 

 

Shaun’s 2005 Tomos Streetmate piston and cylinder at 13,500 miles. The exhaust side of the piston shows many vertical lines, but the exhaust side of the piston rings shows no vertical lines. The rings are free in the ring grooves, not gummed and sticking, and functioning very close to new. The piston has no black carbon buildup, thanks to using Champion two cycle oil. The underside of the piston and the bottom of the cylinder are dripping wet with green oil, from the oil injection.

 

A new Tomos A55 cylinder with a new piston ring has a 0.005″ ring gap. The cylinder is thick, solid aluminum with a nickasil plated cylinder wall. The nickasil is extremely hard, and has a very high melting point. So it stays smooth and fresh for much longer than a cast iron sleeve would. The big cooling fins give it better performance (the fuel and air is denser when it’s cooler) and longer life (less thermal expansion and contraction) by radiating more heat. The thick aluminum with precision locating sleeves keep the cylinder perfectly centered and aligned, even in extremely hot conditions.

 

Shaun’s 13,500 mile cylinder with a new ring has a 0.007″ ring gap. The cylinder wall has very little wear, as evidenced by the small ring gap, the lack of vertical lines on the hot exhaust side, the lack of a top lip (where the top ring stops), and the reflections that show the mirror smooth surface. This cylinder will be good for another 13,500 miles. That’s a lot for a 50cc bike.

 

 

Shaun’s A55 cylinder with 13,500 miles, and upper ring with 13,500 miles, with a ring gap of 0.025″. Although the ring gap has become much wider, the bike still runs strong, within 1/2 mile per hour of it’s original speed, thanks to the smooth cylinder wall, ring surface, and lack of vertical lines. Comparing these three pictures shows that most of the wear was on the 13,500 mile rings and not the cylinder. That’s pretty amazing.

 

 

Above, Shaun’s instruments right after the rings were measured, photographed, and then replaced, at 13,540 miles. The indicated speed is 38mph, true speed is 36mph, cylinder head temperature is a cool 278 degrees farenheit, after running long and hard. Most kitted bikes run at 350 degrees or more, much hotter.
