Odyssey was a USA-only brand. 1976 to 1980 Odyssey mopeds were made in Germany by Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH, Sindelfingen 6. They were imported and sold in the US by The Odyssey Company, Mill Pond Center, Cos Cob CT 06807.

 


solo History  

 

Kleinmotoren means small motors. Solo made mostly agricultural motors, chain saws, sprayers, etc. Here is a English translation link to German Wikipedia de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solo_Kleinmotoren, where they explain the name Solo. 

“Solo” is from the revolutionary backpack portable sprayer for pesticides in 1951. It could be used independently by a single person for the first time, whereas in the past pesticide sprayers required a heavy stationary motor pump and several assistants to handle the long hose. 

Here is a brief history of Solo from http://www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Solo:

In a small workshop, the brothers Hans and Heinz Emmerich began the development of the first small two-stroke engine. At that time, the “lightest” industrial engines weighed as much as 35 pounds. On June 20, 1948, the same day as the Germany Currency Reform took place, the first KMS 30 (KMS = KleinMotoren Stuttgart) engine was born. Intended as a power source for portable machines, the KMS 30 weighed only 14.3 pounds yet produced 1.2 HP, which was an incredible feat for that time. From 1948 to 1971, Solo manufactured various pieces of agricultural equipment as well some scooters and other vehicles. In 1971 they introduced the Solo moped.

 

 


German Speed Versions: In Germany, there are three kinds of mopeds:German flag

1. Mofas are 25 km/h (16 mph), no licence required, minimum age 15, no passengers.

         “Mofa” is short for motorisertes fahrrad (motorized bicycle).

2. Mopeds are 40 km/h (26 mph),  drivers license required (any class), minimum age 16. 

3. Mokicks are kick-start mopeds with no pedals

Peugeot Speed Versions

December 27, 2020

 

US-model Peugeot mopeds were made in three different speed and power versions to comply with different state laws. For example, mopeds in California go 30mph, but in Nevada or Arizona they go 25mph. Each state has different moped laws. Peugeot moped speed versions are referred to by the speed version codes U1, U2 and U3. The speed version code appears after the model on the I.D. plate, on the frame behind the headlight. For example, a 103 LVS U2 is a 25mph moped with 1.5 horsepower.

U1 is 20 mph and 1.0 hp, U2 is 25 mph and 1.5 hp, U3 is 30 mph and 2.0 hp

Cylinder: 102 U2 and U3 are the same, but 103 U1,U2 have a different cylinder than 103 U3, with a slightly smaller exhaust port. A U1,U2 cylinder can be converted to U3 by mild “porting”, by grinding the top pf the port, at the cylinder wall, higher by 1.0 mm, and each side wider by 0.5mm.

Head: The 103 U1,U2 low compression head can be converted to U3 by milling off 1 or maybe 2 mm. Leaving off the head gasket instead, is a quick and beneficial way to increase the compression ratio. But when the head is moved closer to the piston, contact can happen. Care must be taken. A squish clearance of 0.6mm (0.024″) is recommended when cold. A minimum combustion chamber volume of 5.0cc is recommended for a 50cc swept volume, to have a maximum compression ratio of (50+5)/5 equals 11 to 1. 

Reed Valve:  The 103 U1 and U2 small round reed plate holes can be widened to “normal” round holes. Furthermore a Tomos A35 reed valve fits, and gives even more power increase because the reed plate holes are rectangles with more area. Expect a stock healthy 103 LVS U3 to go 4-5 mph faster and accelerate quicker, with just a Tomos reed valve, with no side effects.

Carburetor: To upgrade an 8.5 to a 12mm carburetor you can replace the bare body. It is too difficult to carve out because the non-removable brass spray tube is in the way.

Intake Pipe: To upgrade an 8.5 to a 12mm intake manifold you can carve out the inside, or replace it. On a Peugeot 102 the only difference between a U2 and U3 is the intake manifold.

Exhaust: The 103 U1 muffler is gloss black and has a U-turn in the removable baffle, and a hemispherical end cap. The 103 U2 and U3 muffler is dull black, with a straight tube removable baffle and a vertical channel end cap. The wider end of the vertical channel should face down, or the bike will go slower.

Baffle tube: Early 103 U3 models came with a short baffle tube. These went 35mph and were the fastest moped. Then in 1978 Peugeot had to slow all the bikes down to meet 30mph DOT requirements. They issued a recall to all 103 U3 owners to bring their mopeds into their dealer to have the long baffle put in. All later 103 U3 models were made with long baffles. Simply removing the baffle makes it only a little bit louder, but adds 2-3 mph in speed.

Belt Pulleys: The front pulley is the same on all 102 and 103-no-variator models. The variable front pulley on 103-variator models is the same except for the centrifugal variator weights are different on U2 and U3 models. All 102’s have the same 7 inch rear pulley. All 103’s have the same 8″ rear pulley.

Sprockets: All Peugeot’s have an 11 tooth front sprocket. 102 rear sprockets have smaller center holes than 103 rear sprockets (because the rear hub is smaller). 103 rear sprockets can interchange with Puch or Motobecane, except for the bolt holes. On both 102 and 103 Peugeot uses a special 5-hole pattern that is unique. They did not want people to easily change to a 6-hole Puch 45 tooth rear sprocket. It can be done with drilling.

Gearing: A smaller rear sprocket makes higher gearing, and higher possible speed. But if the gearing is already optimum, then higher gearing alone will not make any more speed, except on downhills and with tail winds. It takes a greater amount of driving force to push through the air at a greater speed, but higher gearing decreases the rear wheel driving force. So the engine has to make much more torque to achieve the higher speed.

Gearing: 102 and 103 no-variator have the same size front pulley, but the rear pulley is bigger on the 103, about 8 inch, while 102 is about 7 inch. So a 102 rear sprocket must be bigger by 8/7 to have the same overall gearing as a 103. That is why 102 rear sprockets are bigger than 103 no-variator ones.

By 1890 the recently invented roller chain had eliminated the big wheel, so the rider could be near the ground, for more safety and convenience. But air tires did not yet exist, so it was a bumpy ride.

History

From Wikipedia and A History of Corporate Governance…  and The Peugeot Family 

It was during the second half of the 1700’s that Jean-Pierre Peugeot (born in 1734) took the initiative that was to lead his family towards industry. Initially flour millers, dyers and tanners, the family began its metalwork industry in 1810. Jean-Pierre Peugeot II (1768-1852) and Jean-Frédéric Peugeot, the two older sons and son-in-law J. Maillard-Salins, established a company for the melting and working of steel, in Montbéliard, while their two younger brothers, Charles-Christophe Peugeot and Jean-Jacques Peugeot chose the textile industry. The company’s trademark, a lion, was created in 1858 by an engraver, Justin Blazer, who lived near the factory. The company turned their steel into knives and forks, razors, sewing machine parts, clock springs, stays, hoops for women’s crinoline skirts, hydraulic equipment, and later in the 1880’s, bicycle spokes and rims.

Jean-Pierre Peugeot’s daughter Emile Peugeot had a an industrious son Armand Peugeot (1849-1915). In 1882 at Beaulieu-sur-Doubs (in Mandeure, Doubs) the first Peugeot bicycle, a penny-farthing (high wheeler) called Le Grand Bi was hand-built by Armand Peugeot. That same year 1882 he founded Cycles Peugeot. Later, after building steam and Daimler engine powered automobiles, in 1896 Armand Peugeot founded Société Anonyme des Automobiles Peugeot. The development of automobiles is a whole other story.

1977 Cycles Peugeot (USA) advertisement

Enjoy the story of Peugeot, exactly as told by Cycles Peugeot in 1977.

Europe’s largest 2-wheel producer was founded in 1810 by a pair of miners who saw a better future working metal above ground. You already know their name; that first little foundry of the Peugeot brothers had a date with history, In 1882 the family turned its metal working skills to a new product, the bicycle. That led to automobiles, which led to an international business empire. At the top of that empire, a financial holding company, Peugeot S.A., controls three main companies: Cycles Peugeot, Automobiles Peugeot, and Automobiles Citroen. They comprise 180 subsidiaries with 175,000 employees … 25,000 of them with the 80 subsidiaries located ouside of France. But automobiles have never seduced Peugeot away from 2-wheelers.

Though other car makers have bikes in their past … and many bike makers (America’s Columbia, for example) once flirted with autos … today only Peugeot’s name stands for both. And although there is diversity in Peugeot products – to bikes, mopeds and cars must be added tubing, containers, hydraulic loading platforms, store fixtures, kitchen furniture, houshold items, etc. – Cycles Peugeot’s 2-wheel concentration is emphatic and productive: In 1976 it accounted for 37% of France’s 1.9 million bike production and 57% of its bike export, 45% of France’s moped production and 50% of its moped export.

The small within the big  Size and diversity often rule out the slow, painstaking hand craftsmanship that produces bicycles for professional racers and amateur connoisseurs. Not so at Peugeot. True, the production lines of its vast Beaulieu works can turn out a bicycle every 15 seconds, a moped every 20. Block-long tube mills form tubing at 50 meters a minute. Mighty presses stamp out parts that conveyor belts move to their destinies at thousands an hour. But within the same walls is another, very different kind of production:

The “Atelier Prestige” Prestige Studio, is a quiet, immaculate workshop, where a small team of craftsmen make Peugeot’s top-of-the-line PY10 and PY60 models … one at a time, entirely by hand. From this room come the bikes of the famous Peugeot racing team, and its star, Bernard Thevenet, who has just won the Tour de France for the second time in three years. And from this room and these same, unhurried hands come the PY10’s and PY60’s you order.

The order form for one of these is a two-page document, with space to specify not only such obvious choices as frame size and color but also chain wheels, crank length, hub style, sprockets, toe clip length, anodize choice (silver or gold) for light alloy components, saddle choice, etc. Any demand can be honored, but the order form gives sound recommendations and a complete gear table as a guide for those who need it.

French first: The late 1890’s were an era marked by heavy investment in and widespread purchase of French cycle firms by foreign interests. Peugeot, in 1897, gave its response to this trend in an advertisement: “THE HOUSE OF PEUGEOT HOLDS TO THE HONOR OF REMAINING FRENCH; it has REJECTED the considerable offers which have been made and announces that WHATEVER PRICE IS OFFERED, IT WILL REMAIN FRENCH!” When it comes to choosing components, Peugeot still holds to that honor. In an era when the makeup of bikes is increasingly international, it features French. It is not denied that many nations make fine components, or that superb bicycles may be built using a blend of them. Nor are they totally unyielding; Reynolds tubing forms their top-of-the-line frames, and Weinmann brakes are found on the UO-8, it’s biggest U.S. seller. But Peugeot holds that a bicycle is the sum of its parts, and that in a French bicycle, as many as possible should be French. Given the scope and technology of French components available, they prefer not to look elsewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

Although four factories contribute to Peugeot’s 2-wheel production, the 200,000-square-meter complex at Beaulieu is the main resource. This beautiful terrain of hills and rivers, called the Doubs Region, is definately Peugeot Country. It is where the brothers Peugeot started in 1810. Today’s factory stands on the site of the mill the family bought in 1857 to make spring steel … for ladies’ hoop skirts … a style the bicycle was to help eliminate. Here were made their first bikes, and here are made their latest. It is not surprising to find entire “Peugeot families: – grandfather, father, son and daughter-in-law – all Peugeot workers. The company’s participation in the life of the region extends to housing, restaurants, libraries, holiday camps and medical care for its thousands of workers.

In the U.S.  Cycles Peugeot directs the activities of such national subsidiaries as Cycles Peugeot Germany, Cycles Peugeot Spain … and of course, Cycles Peugeot (USA) Inc. – founded in January 1976. The parent company and the U.S. division share the same president, Bertrand Peugeot. General manager Edouard de Truchis conducts operations from the headquarters and warehouse in Gardena, Cal., and Eastern Division manager Ron Krieger is in the offices and warehouse in New Jersey. The office and public warehousing in Jacksonville, Fla., is supervised by Joe Morris, and is part of the Eastern Division. Cycles Peugeot (USA) is the sole U.S. distributor of the brand, and sells to specialist cycle and moped dealers only. It also distributes a number of European and American parts lines. About 400 people make up the staff, of whom 14 are salesmen calling regularly on dealers.

Peugeot has indeed made its mark in the U.S. bike market. In an era of countless brands and labels, they have made theirs on of those to be reckoned with. Any trade discussion of the factors in the market must include Peugeot, any gathering of cyclists is dotted with the familiar white frames with checkerboard trim. Their Tour de France victory is a reminder that these people are serious about bicycles. Their establishment of Cycles Peugeot (USA) says that they are serious about the American market.

 

1980’s update: In the 1980’s many things changed. Peugeot bicycles more and more became equipped with Japan or Taiwan made components, instead of all French. Peugeot 102 mopeds were sold in Montgomery Wards department stores, instead of only at Peugeot moped dealers. Department stores could not sell 103’s, and moped dealers could not sell 102’s. In 1981 when Royal Cyclery sold Peugeot 103’s for $599, Shaun remembers a big banner on the Montgomery Wards store in the newly built Hawthorne Mall. It said “MOPEDS $279”. That was unbelievably low. Even the low cost Taiwan made Speed Bird was $399 at Royal Cyclery. Department stores always did have lower priced bicycles than mom-and-pops bike shops, both because the product was made cheaper, and was purchased in huge quantities.

Like other moped makers, many 1980 models were made and stockpiled, to be sold in 1981 to maybe 1983. This was to avoid 1981 and later manufacturer requirements, such as the 17-digit VIN and noise level compliance labeling. But by 1984 Peugeot USA moped sales were way down because of low gas prices and competition from Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. Around 1984-85 Cycles Peugeot stopped selling mopeds in the USA, but continued with bicycles. 

Shaun and his father Gary Strahm at Royal Cyclery sold and serviced Peugeot bicycles and mopeds. Mountain bikes came out in the early 1980’s. Peugeot held onto the old ways longer than other makers. In 1984 the Peugeot Canyon Express was the last brazed lugged frame mountain bike, where all others were lug-less TIG-welded. Peugeot bicycle sales at Royal Cyclery kept on into the early 1990’s.

1960’s Engine Model Name Meanings:
35 is 49cc, 37 is 94cc engine size
1, 7, 3, 4 are 1, 2, 3, 4 trans. speeds
b, c, h, m, n, p are model identifiers

P is pedal-start, K is kick-start
Y is hand-shift, W is foot-shift
E is export (special power), B is ?
R is fan cooled, Z is increased power

Unofficial Model Names: In 1970 Garelli stopped using engine model names. Instead they spelled out the engine models, like “vertical cylinder two speed automatic”. So these ’70’s and ’80’s engine model names are made up. They are green to distinguish them from official names.

 

 

Horizontal Cylinder Engines



 

1950’s: After WWII much of Europe was damaged. Because gas stations and roads were scarce, Garelli shifted their focus to 50cc lightweight mopeds. In the early 50’s Garelli only made Mosquito horizontal-cylinder friction-drive bicycle engines. They were sold as kits and on bikes. In the late 50’s Garelli also made Mosquito vertical-cylinder chain-drive moped engines. They were only sold on bikes.

so foot shift must have been an option.

 

 

 

 

 

1970’s: Most of the 1960’s engines with rounded engine cases and cylinder fins were discontinued in 1970-71. The cases and fins became more square. Horizontal lines were added to the side covers. Because of that you can tell a 70’s Garelli from a 60’s one by a photo or from 100 feet away.

Engine Models: In 1970 Garelli stopped using engine model numbers. Instead they spelled out the engine models, like “vertical cylinder two speed automatic”.

In Jan 1972 the UK “sixteener law” required 16-year-olds to drive only “mopeds”. The new definition of “moped” was 50cc with pedals, unlimited in power and speed. By late-1972 or early-1973, makers like Garelli added pedals to their 50cc motorcycles.

The book “Funky Mopeds” by Richard Skelton covers these bikes and this period. The UK-model specs and year ranges listed here are from there.

1980’s: In 1978 all vertical cylinder engines changed from type G (Gulp) to type V (VIP). The differences are subtle. The biggest visible difference is the side covers. G type has horizontal lines on top front and bottom front. V type has horizontal lines only on bottom front. G type has a flattened 8-sided sticker in the middle. V type says GARELLI in raised letters. There are internal differences. The transfer ports and base gasket are different. The front lower engine mount was eliminated or unused.


Left is a G2 engine, right is V2.


Left is a G5ak engine, right is M5ak.
