AMF Mopeds

AMF made in USA by AMF McCulloch or Minarelli engine

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Machine_and_Foundry Aug 2014

“The perfect choice when you need a second car.”

American Machine and Foundry was once one of the largest recreational equipment companies in the United States. The company was founded in 1900 by Rufus L. Patterson, inventor of the first automated cigarette manufacturing machine. Originally incorporated in New Jersey but operating in Brooklyn, the company began by manufacturing cigarette, baking, and stitching machines. AMF moved into the bowling business after World War II, when AMF automated bowling equipment and bowling centers became profitable business ventures. Bicycle production was added in 1950. The company was once a major diversified manufacturer of everything from tennis racquets to bowling equipment. Until the mid-1980s, AMF’s range of consumer goods included powered model airplanes, snow skis, lawn and garden equipment, Ben Hogan golf clubs, Voit inflatable balls, exercycles and exercise equipment, Hatteras yachts, Alcort sailboats, Nimble bicycles, motorized bicycles, mopeds, and SCUBA gear. At one time, AMF owned Harley Davidson motorcycles. Aging production facilities and increasing quality control problems in some product lines caused sales declines in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The company’s vast diversified output proved difficult to efficiently manage, and after suffering a series of losses, the company began to sell off most of its manufacturing operations.

AMF Roadmaster Bicycles In 1950, after purchasing the Roadmaster line of children’s and youth bicycles from the Cleveland Welding Company, American Machine and Foundry entered the bicycle manufacturing business with its newly formed AMF Wheel Goods Division. In 1953, after a prolonged labor strike, AMF moved bicycle manufacturing from a UAW-organized plant in Cleveland, Ohio to a new facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. The new plant was heavily automated and featured more than a mile of part conveyor belts in six separate systems, including an electrostatic induction painting operation.

Taking advantage of the increase in its target markets in the aftermath of the baby boom, AMF was able to diversify its product line, adding exercise equipment under the brand name Vitamaster in 1950. As demand for bicycles continued to expand, the company needed a new manufacturing facility to keep up with demand. In 1962, the company moved its operations to Olney, Illinois, where it built a new factory on a 122-acre site that would remain the company’s principal bicycle manufacturing location into the 1990s.

After two decades of consistent growth, the AMF Wheel Goods Division stalled under the long-distance management of a parent company bogged down in layers of corporate management and marginally profitable product lines. Manufacturing quality as well as the technical standard of the Roadmaster bicycle line – once the pride of the company – had fallen to an all-time low. Bicycles made at the Olney plant were manufactured so poorly that some Midwestern bike shops refused to repair them, claiming that the bikes would not stay fixed no matter how much labor and effort was put into them. The division’s problems with quality and outside competition were neatly summed up in a 1979 American film, Breaking Away, in which identical secondhand AMF Roadmaster track bicycles were used by competitors in the Little 500 bicycle race. Despite this product placement, the film’s protagonist expressed a decided preference for his lightweight Italian Masi road racing bike, deriding the elderly Roadmaster as a ‘piece of junk’.

In 1997, the Roadmaster bicycle division was sold to the Brunswick Corporation. However, it had already become evident that production of low-cost, mass-market bicycles in the US was not viable in the face of foreign competition, and in 1999, all U.S. production of Roadmaster bicycles ceased. Brunswick sold its bicycle division and the Roadmaster brand to Pacific Cycle, which began distributing a new Roadmaster line of bicycles imported from Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China. Pacific Cycle still uses the Olney facility for corporate offices and as a product inventory and distribution center.

AMF Bowling products In 1943, Rufus Patterson’s son, Morehead Patterson, took over AMF. After WWII ended, Patterson determined that the company had to ‘grow or die’. Searching for new products, he encountered a prototype of an automatic bowling-pin setter. To get the cash to develop the invention, Patterson swapped AMF stock to acquire eight small companies with fast-selling products. After incorporating key features developed by Leslie L. LeVeque, the AMF Pinspotter, perfected and put on the market in 1951, helped to turn bowling into the most popular US participative, competitive sport.

AMF Ad in 1981, when fear of high gas prices made many Americans buy mopeds and small cars.

AMF High-tech products In 1949 American Machine and Foundry developed the pretzel bender, a new automatic crispy styled baked pretzel-twisting machine that rolled and tied them at the rate of 50 a minute, more than twice as fast as skilled hand twisters could make them, and conveyed them through the baking and salting process. To expand its line of recreational equipment, AMF bought W. J. Voit Rubber Corp. (tread rubber, scuba gear), Ben Hogan Co. (golfing equipment), and Wen-Mac Corp. (engine-powered toy airplanes). By 1961, AMF controlled and operated 42 plants and 19 research facilities scattered across 17 countries, producing everything from remote-controlled toy airplanes to ICBM launching systems. AMF was the builder of the launching silos for the Titan and Atlas ICBMs, and also developed the rail-car launching system for the solid-fueled Minuteman ICBM. In the late 1950s and early 1960s the company ran neck-and-neck with General Dynamics in the construction of nuclear power reactors. AMF sold Pakistan and Iran their first nuclear reactors. Peter Karter was among the young engineers working on the reactors AMF built in Pakistan and Iran under the Atoms for Peace program. In 1960 the company moved its headquarters from 249 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, to suburban Westbury, New York. In the early 1960s, American Machine and Foundry partnered with the French company SAFEGE to design, construct and market a monorail for American cities. The AMF Monorail was exhibited at the 1964 New York World’s Fair where it traversed a continuous elevated loop around the Amusement section of the Fair. It was displayed as a practical form of future transportation.

AMF Roadmaster Mopeds

After building elevated monorails and nuclear missile launchers, you would think making a moped would be relatively easy. But AMF was late in the game, and had to rush through the design. In 1977, Europe had 30 years experience making mopeds. There was a huge demand for mopeds in the US, more than Europe and Asia could satisfy. Other American bicycle makers Murray and Colombia were beginning to make mopeds with European engines and components. AMF had plenty of bicycle making expertise, but not small engines. So AMF teamed up with McCulloch in 1977 to make this BHE900 rear friction-drive one-speed automatic 49cc two-stroke moped engine. McCulloch already made high quality, compact, light weight two-stroke engines for the hand-held-power-equipment industry – chain saws, blowers, trimmers, etc. But the AMF moped engine was a brand new design. The presence or absence of a pull starter supports that. Gardening equipment engines adapted to bicycles have rope-pull starters, while “pure” bicycle engines can only be pedal started. In about a year it went from just a sparkle in an engineer’s eye, to 1000’s of units rolling off the assembly line by the end of 1978.

Myrons Mopeds does not have any AMF/McCulloch parts, except for a few random bits, and things used on other mopeds, like piston rings, bearings, gas cap, fuel hose, spark plug, crank nut, etc. The above parts list says there are different reed valves for the D and E engine versions, but gives the same part numbers for replacement parts. The reed valve and carburetor are the only things that are different on those more powerful engine versions. When the details of this become known, you will read about it here.

AMF 140/141 Parts

AMF Model 140 and 141 are identical, except for the Minarelli engine. The long seat option must have began in late 1981 or 1982, because only a solo seat AMF 140 is listed in the 1981 Buyers Guide. After 1980, the 110, 120, 130 rear engine models were apparently not made, because all of the 1981 and later AMF’s pictured on the internet are the Model 140/141 Minarelli-engine kind. The Minarelli AMF lasted until 1983-84 when sales were way down.

The End of AMF Mopeds

By the mid-1980’s, falling gas prices, new state moped laws, and the craze for Japanese scooters, ended the demand for mopeds in the US. Sometime around 1984, AMF sold their remaining moped and parts inventory to “E-Z Rider”, also known as K.E.Z. Industries Inc, 430 E 16th St, Paterson NJ 07514. KEZ sold AMF Roadmaster parts to moped dealers across the US, starting in 1985. They only sold the frame parts, not the McCulloch or Minarelli engine parts. By the late 1980’s there were not many moped dealers left in business.

1979 Wards E-Z Rider made in USA by Dialex
Minarelli V1 engine

Is this E-Z Rider the same one who, 5 years later, sold AMF parts to moped dealers?

There seems to be a connection between two E-Z Riders. In 1979-1980 there was an American made moped called E-Z Rider, made by Dialex Industries, Inc. 123 S. Newman St. Hakensack, New Jersey 07671. Like AMF, it was sold by Montgomery Wards department stores. Like AMF, it had a Minarelli V1 engine with a mix of American and Italian components. The Dialex E-Z Rider had a plastic gas tank with this logo embossed on it. Notice how both E-Z Rider logos are spelled the same and both companies are from New Jersey. Most likely Dialex Industries either became, or was bought by, KEZ Industries.

Myrons Mopeds does not have any actual AMF moped parts for sale, except for the many things that are the same as other mopeds, and maybe some random bits and pieces. This collection of information is here for several reasons: 1) artwork and history for your enjoyment, 2) to help find what parts go where or what might be the same, 3) to refer to particular parts by name, number, illustration, or photo.

Here are links to Project Moped Manual for AMF Moped Manuals. This is a 1979 AMF Roadmaster Owners Manual. The rear McCulloch engine is separate, 1978 McCulloch BHE900 Engine Owners Manual. These download in a minute or two, in PDF format.

AMF Tires

For the friction drive models 110/115/120/125/130 the original Carlisle (made in USA) tires are labeled “2 – 16 moped”. But 2.0 – 16 size tires are difficult or impossible to get. Most mopeds with 16″ rims have 2.25 -16, or 1/4 inch wider. The front Carlisle 2 -16 with zig-zag tread is 2.0 inch wide, but the rear tire with the smooth flat top is actually 2.20 inch wide. In front there is plenty of room for a 2.25 -16 but in the rear there is barely room for the original tire that is 2.2 inch wide. A 2.25-16 is also 2.20 (or 2.25) inch wide. It might not rub if the axle is spaced to center it, but otherwise it would rub.

Considering that, it is better to use actual 2.00 – 16 tires, or the equivalent 20 x 2.125 bicycle tires. There are 20 x 2.125 bicycle tires with a smooth top, but rounded. Those would be best. Worst would be a knobby style. The smooth top lasts longer.

Exerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_Motors

Hero Motors is a former moped and scooter manufacturer based in Delhi, India. It is a part of multinational company Hero Group, which also currently owns Hero Motocorp (formerly Hero Honda) and Hero Cycles, among others. Hero Motors was started in the 1960s to manufacture 50 cc two-stroke mopeds but gradually diversified into making larger mopeds, mokicks and scooters in the 1980s and the 1990s. Noteworthy collaborators and technical partners were Puch of Austria and Malaguti of Italy. Due to tightening emission regulations and poor sales, Hero motors have discontinued the manufacture of all gasoline powered vehicles and transformed itself into an electric two-wheeler and auto parts manufacturer.

Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_MotoCorp

Hero Motocorp Ltd., formerly Hero Honda, is an Indian motorcycle and scooter manufacturer based in New Delhi, India. The company is the largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world. In India, it has a market share of about 46% share in 2-wheeler category. The 2006 Forbes 200 Most Respected companies list has Hero Honda Motors ranked at #108. On 31 March 2013, the market capitalisation of the company was INR 308 billion (USD 5.66 billion). Hero Honda started in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycles of India and Honda of Japan. In 2010, when Honda decided to move out of the joint venture, Hero Group bought the shares held by Honda. Subsequently, in August 2011 the company was renamed Hero MotoCorp with a new corporate identity. In June 2012, Hero Motocorp approved a proposal to merge the investment arm of its parent Hero Investment Pvt. Ltd. into the automaker. The decision comes after 18 months of its split from Honda Motors.

Excerpt from http://www.majesticauto.in/aboutus.html

Majestic Auto Limited (MAL): The company was originally incorporated as a private limited company on 23.4.1973 under the name “Majestic Gears (P) Limited”. It was manufacturing various bicycle components for M/S Hero Cycles Pvt. Ltd. It was promoted by Sh. Satyanand Munjal, Sh.Brijmohan Lall Munjal and Sh. Om Parkash Munjal of Hero Cycles Limited. The company, having understood the requirement of Indian markets of two wheeler industry, decided to go in for producing of a suitable moped in the year 1975. This company converted to a public limited company on 2nd April,1977. The name of the company had been changed to M/s Majestic Auto limited and a fresh certificate of incorporation was obtained on 9th August,1977. In 1978, the company diversified into the manufacture of 49cc mopeds under the brand name of “Hero Majestic”. The Company has since then recorded a phenomenal growth, every year, in its production capacity. The Company became full-fledged public limited company on 29th October 1985.

Handy Bikes Corp. in Columbus Ohio was the US importer of Hero Majestic mopeds, from about 1993 to 2005. They also sold many bicycles, and imported Hercules/Sachs mopeds, Sachs engines and sold certain 70’s-80’s new moped models in the 1990’s, like Colombia “Open Road” aka “Mopet”, with a large monotube frame and a Solo (not Sachs) engine. Their phone number 614-299-0550 and location at 1055 W 5th Av Columbus Ohio, has been the same since at least the 1970’s. In the early 1990’s Bill Cummings was their national sales executive. Bob Jones (BJ) was their main moped expert until 2012 when he retired. BJ helped 1000’s of people with moped parts and service, for several decades. Everyone salutes them!

In 2013 Handy Bikes liquidated the moped parts inventory and became strictly a bicycle-only store. At least two other stores do, or did, sell Hero Majestic mopeds:

Puch Remakes Not Puch

Puch remakes: After Puch went bankrupt in 1987, the Puch name and the equipment and “recipes” needed to make mopeds were sold. There were four Puch re-makers:

Piaggio (Italy) around 1988. Piaggio made the Puch Super Maxi.

Maxwell (Turkey) about 1988. Maxwell made a Puch Super Maxi.

Manet (Slovakia) around 1994. Manet made the Puch Korado.

MAL (India) around 1990. MAL made Hero-Puch, TVS and Yumbo.

2000 Hero Puch Automatic

2001 Hero Puch Automatic

Myrons has serviced a few Hero Puch Automatics that had things made imprecise, or off-center (like the clutch drum), or with poor quality materials (like the fork rubbers). So many of them, perhaps only some of the ones exported to the US, have excess engine vibration from the imbalanced large rotating things, like the clutch drum and the flywheel.

Here are some Hero-Puch reviews: http://www.mouthshut.com/review/Hero-Puch-review-qotusnnslm

2005 Hero Puch Turbo Sport is a beautiful bike. Thousands of people use this machine faithfully in India, where it is called Hero Puch Shakti.

1985 Puch Austro Daimler, a technologically advanced pedal moped, made in Austria, designed by Porsche.

1998-00 Hero Puch Maxwell (made in India)
While Porsche did help design the Austro Daimler for Puch in the early 1980’s, they did not help design the Maxi. The sign implies they did.

1985-86 Puch Maxi Sport LS 2-speed (made in Austria)
This was the last and the best “real” Puch moped. The first Hero Puch mopeds, made in India, were Euro-model remakes (1-speed kick start) of this (2-speed automatic).

5. 2000-05 Yumbo

Yumbo made in India by Hero-Majestic MAL engine

Yumbo was a brand name of kids motorcycles, ATVs, scooters, and mopeds, imported to the USA by Mod Cycles Corporation, 7547 NW 52 St, Miami FL 33166. These two mopeds were 2 out of about 10 models in the 2004 Yumbo sales brochure.

2005 was the last year for most 50cc US models

2005 was the last year of production for Hero and many other brands of mopeds and scooters intended for sale in the USA, because 2006 was the first year that US EPA required under-250cc on-road motor-driven-cycles to meet clean air emissions standards. While many of the 4-stroke engines were already clean enough, like the 100, 125, 150, and 200cc scooters, most of the two-stroke 49cc engines were not able to meet the strict standards. As a result most 49cc US-model mopeds and scooters stopped selling those non-EPA-compliant models. Some switched to four stroke engines. Some, mainly just Tomos, were able to “clean up their act” and developed a clean two-stroke 49cc moped.

Myrons Mopeds does not have specific Hero, TVS, or MAL parts, other than things that are compatible with other mopeds.

Kinetic Mopeds

July 13, 2012

From I Love India .com:

Kinetic Motor Company Ltd. Kinetic Engineering is credited with bringing in India the concept of personalized transport. It is a part of the Firodia Group of companies, one of the pioneering groups in automobiles sector in India, founded in the year 1972 by Mr. HK Firodia, known as the doyen of the Indian Automobile Industry.

1972 Kinetic Luna, from Narendra Kumar Firodia

Kinetic Motors introduced the concept of personalized transportation in India in 1972 when it launched Kinetic Luna. Thereafter, it has been continuously serving Indian automobile industry.

In 1984, the company entered into a Joint Venture with Honda Motor of Japan, to produce advanced scooters in India. Both the companies introduced in collaboration a gearless scooter with advanced features like TLAD suspension, auto choke and auto fuel cork. In 1998, Kinetic bought the controlling stakes from Honda becoming the first Indian JV partner to buy out the foreign majority shareholder.

Kinetic has a dealership network of more than 400 dealers and authorized service centers across the country. It is a leading exporter of vehicles across the globe with thousands of vehicles exported to the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Australia. It has bagged the Exports Excellence award nine consecutive years.

The company acquired Italiano series of scooters from Italjet Moto. The acquisition involved all global distribution rights as well as relocation of total production lines to India. Kinetic also has partnered with SYM Motors of Taiwan to produce some two wheeler brands.

Kinetic produces a complete two-wheeler portfolio which ranges from mopeds, scooterettes, scooters to bikes. Manufacturing plants of the company are at Pithampur (for scooters), Ahmednagar (for scooterettes and mopeds) and Koregaon (for bikes).

Kinetic Products:
Bicycles: Comet, Aquila, GF series, Stryker, Boss, Velocity
Scooters: Blaze, Zoom, 4S, Nova series, SYM Flyte
Mopeds and Scooterettes: Kine, Zing 80, Luna
Load Carrying Vehicles: V2, King

Soni 2

Soni 2 was an early 1970’s moped sold in the USA, made by Kinetic. The non-USA version was called Luna. It is a remake of a 1968-69 Vespa Ciao C9E, with 19″ tires.

Soni 2 did not have the 1972 USA DOT equipment like the 1972 Vespa Ciao C7E did (tail light that shines to the sides, and a brake light that does not dim the headlight).

1968 Vespa Ciao (C9E)

1974 Kinetic Soni 2

1979 Kinetic Soni 2

Paul Soni of America: Not many Soni’s were sold in the US. Photos and literature are scarce. One or two of these pink Soni 2 parts labels is all that identifies Paul Soni of America Incorporated as the importer-distributor.

Kinetic Engineering Limited was the manufacturer, in Ahmednagar India, the label says.

Soni is not listed in any of the mid-to-late 1970’s US moped hand books. Yet here is a photo of a 1979 Soni with USA lights and reflectors. On the ’79 the seat support is moved forward where the frame is stronger, the fork is telescopic not cantilever, and the lights and reflectors are USA compliant.

TFR

Kinetic TFR was a 1994-03 moped sold in the USA. The non-USA version was called Luna TFR. The TFR is essentially a Magnum but with a fixed drive pulleys instead of variable “V-Drive”.

Cosmopolitan Motors was the importer to the US, in Hatboro Pennsylvania. During the 1990’s Cosmo also had a sales office in Los Angeles. This flyer says the address: 10850 Wilshire Blvd #400 Los Angeles CA 90024.

Thousands of Kinetic TFR’s were sold in the US, especially 1995 models. They had 12V lights and several colors, including purple, but black or red were the most common.

Magnum

Kinetic Magnum was a 1993-2000 moped sold in the USA. The non-USA version was called Luna Magnum. It had a variable (two speed) belt drive instead of fixed (single speed)

Mar-Cel Company was the importer to the US, in Clinton, North Carolina. The Kinetic Magnum has a stamped sheet frame and a Piaggio remake engine and drivetrain with 12V lights. It is similar to a 1980’s Piaggio Si.

The 1993 Kinetic Magnum in the sales flyer below does not have any USA-required lighting and safety equipment. It’s a two-person moped that says “V-drive” on the left (drive belt) side.

Each of these Magnum photos shows a bulge in the left rear side cover. That identifies a Kinetic or a Piaggio as a variator model. Single speed models have no rear bulge or not as much.

TFR-USA

Kinetic TFR-USA was a 1999-05 moped sold in the USA, imported by Cosmo. The non-USA version was called Luna Magnum.

Kinetic TFR-USA is a partial remake of a Vespa Si, with a variator (variable-diameter v-belt pulleys) drivetrain and 12V lights. That and an improved exhaust (longer header) allow a TFR-USA to take off faster and climb hills better than a non-variated TFR.

Angel made in Taiwan by TYM TYM engine

Angel was made by T.Y.M. Industrial Co. Ltd, 554 Chung Cheng Rd, Yongkang Hsiang, Tainan Hsien, Taiwan, ROC. The owners manual uses this address: T.Y.M. Industries Co., Ltd. No. 2-26, Yeng-Hang, Yong-Kang, Tainan Hsian Taiwan, Republic of China. TYM made motorscooters and mopeds, including the Speed Bird brand of moped. The importers were the Cham Company, 11853 E. Telegraph Rd, Santa Fe Springs CA 90670, and Enersav, Inc. PO Box 964 Winona MN 55987. The engine, made by TYM, is a copy of a Laura M48 (Holland), but the clutch and reed valve are different.

Angel AP48: The early version had stamped sheet metal frame and an old fashioned cantilever fork.

This is obviously a remake of a 1974 Honda PM50. Most PM50 parts should be the same, but not all.

Some time around 1981, the General Moped Company, Inc became a distributor for Angel mopeds and parts. This very late Angel was given the model name “5 Star” by General, because that was their “line” name in the early to mid 1980’s. This later BP48-S had a bullet headlight holding a bigger Tatung speedometer.

There was also an identical bike, TYM BP48-S, called “United” likeley imported by United Moped in Fountain Valley CA.

When the head light burns out, the engine looses spark, unless the headlight switch is turned “off”. If the head light switch is disconnected, the engine will not run, because the pinkish brown wire is not grounded. Ground it at the engine to restore spark.

NVT, Scorpion and Mizer

July 13, 2012

NVT history: Condensed from Wikipedia:

NVT was a British motorcycle manufacturer from 1972 to 1978, formed by the British Government.

Triumph had been owned by the BSA Group since 1951, but by 1972 the merged BSA-Triumph group was in serious financial trouble. British Government policy at the time was to save strategic industries with taxpayers’ money. They decided to bail out the company, provided that to compete with the Japanese it merged with financially troubled Norton Villiers, a subsidiary of British engineering conglomerate Manganese Bronze.

The merged company was created in 1973. As BSA was both a failed company and a solely British-known brand (the company’s products had always been most successfully marketed in North America under the Triumph brand), the new conglomerate was called Norton Villiers Triumph.

NVT inherited four motorcycle factories—Small Heath (ex-BSA); Andover and Wolverhampton (Norton); and Meriden (Triumph). Still short of development cash, the company was restricted to launching developments of existing products, most notably around the popular Norton Commando. With its classical parallel twin probably by now overdeveloped, from March 1973 the Roadster, Hi Rider, and the Interstate all began to use a new 828 cc engine. Later NVT also produced the Easy Rider moped including a “sixteener” version with a Morini engine and pedals, and the NVT Rambler 125/175 cc with Yamaha engines.

NVT was eventually liquidated in 1978. Even though Norton Villiers Triumph is no more, motorcycles bearing the Triumph name are still being made; the marketing rights to Triumph were sold to the Meriden workers’ co-operative in 1977 and in 1983, sold on to a new Triumph Motorcycles Ltd company situated in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

From The Empire Strikes Back, by Mark Daniels http://www.icenicam.org.uk/articles5/art0086.html

The first Eazy Rider ER1 and ER2 step-through automatic models were introduced in March 1976, and were assembled near Birmingham, at Shenstone in Staffordshire.

There’s some speculation that NVT made the chassis, but seems unlikely since the swing-arm and pressed steel chain guard appear on other, variously branded, Italian-built machines which are generally credited to Bianchi/Italtelai manufacture. The NVT frame however, never appears on any other Bianchi/Italtelai made bikes, though tube sizes and some forms are fairly similar, so it seems possible that Bianchi/Italtelai could have made the chassis to Bob Trigg’s specific design, so maybe the Easy Rider range wasn’t quite a totally bought-in machine assembled from off-the-peg components.

Scorpion

Scorpion history: From The Empire Strikes Back, by Mark Daniels http://www.icenicam.org.uk/articles5/art0086.html

Towards the end of 1977 NVT announced the securing of export orders to the USA of 1,000 Easy Rider mopeds per month. Export market American mopeds were mainly sold as either NVT Easy Rider or, from August 1977, as Scorpion SC1 (step-through frame, single-speed auto), SC2 (step-through frame, two-speed auto), and SC-2X Scrambler models (sports styled, two-speed auto). Frame plates indicated these machines as ‘Manufactured by Scorpion Inc. Crosby, Minnesota’, a snowmobile manufacturer established from 1959, who marketed the mopeds as a product diversification.

US model NVT mopeds were imported by Scorpion, Inc. Box 300B, Crosby Minnesota USA. Before August 1977 they were sold as NVT, and after that they were re-branded as Scorpion.

Mizer

In 1978 Fred Zak began selling Scorpion mopeds in his shop “West Side Recreation” in Little Falls Minnesota. Little Falls is 48 miles from Crosby, MN the home of Scorpion. Zak sold 100 Scorpions in 1979. Gas was high $0.79/gal and Americans wanted things like mopeds that save gas.

Sometime around 1980-81 moped sales slowed, and Scorpion sold its snowmobile and moped business to Arctic Enterprises. Arctic did not want to dabble in mopeds, so they stored all of the Scorpion moped parts inventory in a warehouse.

In 1982 Fred Zak purchased the Scorpion inventory from Arctic Enterprises and formed Falls Mopeds, Inc. The Mizer was born! Fred with sons Bob and Fritz assembled 30-40 Mizer mopeds, made out of individual parts, not assemblies. The frames and frame parts were painted and Mizer stickers and stripes added.

Casal

made in Portugal Casal engine

1980 Casal Mopeds (US models)

Metalurgia Casal started in 1953, in Aveiro, Portugal, making mostly agricultural engines. Business leader João Casal met representatives of Zündapp at a trade fair in Hanover in the early 60’s, and then started to build mopeds with Zündapp engines. From 1966-on he made his own engine, the Casal engine, which is a modified copy of the Zündapp, to be built in a many variants. In the 70’s Casal exported their products to UK, US, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and others. Car production was also planned, but not realised.

HuVo Casal record bike
50cc went 139mph

Casal had always done 50cc racing, with the Dutch company HuVo, but in 1980-81 they did some world record setting with Dutch riders. In 1980 Jan Nijhuys took the standing start 50cc 1/4 mile record with a Casal Sparta Plompen, 15.26 seconds. Then in 1981 Jan Huberts rode the HuVo Casal 50cc streamliner to an astounding 224kmh (139mph). Sadly, as the increased purchasing power in their home country Portugal, their most important market, slowed down the sales of mopeds, bankruptcy was a fact in February 2000. In connection with this, unfortunately, parts of the company’s archives were destroyed. Today it operates as a Suzuki representative in Portugal (adapted from Wikipedia).

Cosmo

July 13, 2012

Cosmo made in Italy (’77-82) or India (’99-02) various engines

Cosmo is the trade name of Cosmopolitan Motors, formerly in Hatboro Pennsylvania USA. In the 1950’s they were the US importer of Jawa CZ. In the 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s they were the US importer of Parilla, Capriolo, MV Agusta, Bimota, Benelli, Bianchi, Montesa, Garelli, and Beta motorcycles. In the 1990’s they were the US importer of Kinetic mopeds, made in India. Some of their current products are electric bicycles. Visit their website at http://www.cosmotor.com/. Cosmo also distributed Italian motorcycle parts and accessories, Pirelli, Tommaselli, AGV, Sidi, Grimeca, Domino, Regina, Dellorto, Marzocchi, Costa, Baruffaldi, etc. and their own line of mopeds and mini-cycles.

Here is shown and explained the complex family of Cosmo branded mopeds, US models, with different makes, models and year ranges:

1977-1980 Cosmo Colt, Colt 2, Blazer, Blazer 2

These were top-tank (Colt) and step-thru (Blazer) mopeds with Morini MO-1 or MO-2 engines. The Cosmo Colt 1 chassis is the same as a Baretta Magnum. The Cosmo Blazer is the same as a Malaguti Commuter. The chassis is the same as a Baretta 38. They are all made by Piccoli Motori in Bologna, Italy. See below.

1981-1982 Cosmo Colt 3, Colt 3A, Colt 4, Colt 4B

These were top-tank tube-frame mopeds with Morini M-1 or M-101 engines. The 1980 Cosmo Colt 3 is the same as a 1978 Malaguti Pilot. They are both made by Malaguti in San Lazzaro di Savena, Italy. See below.

1980-1983? Cosmo Amico Scooter

This was a scooter-like pedal moped, with a Minarelli V1 engine. It had small tires and a fully enclosed body like a scooter. It is the same as 1970’s Testi Amigo (Euro model) except for lights. See below.

1999-2002 Cosmo Stinger

This was a top tank pedal moped, with a Garelli remake engine, made in India by Monto Motors. The Cosmo Stinger is the same as an Avanti Supersport, both with a Garelli 2-speed remake engine, 35mph. See Avanti.

Safari

July 13, 2012

made in Italy by MZV or Rovet
Minarelli V1, V1H, V1L, C2, P4 engine

Fox made in Italy by Rovet Zanetti front engine

1970 Zanetti Bicizeta

1960’s Zanetti motor

Safari is a trade name made by Motor Bike Imports, Inc (MBI), 6005 S Route 130, Pennsauken NJ 08110. MBI began in 1964-65 as First American Bicizeta, Inc, importing the popular Italian motor bike Bicizeta, a front engine, friction drive, pull start, 50cc automatic, made by Motori Zanetti of Bologna Italy.

Most Safari mopeds were sold at eastern US moped shops, mostly New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida. Almost none were sold in California, so Myrons Mopeds has no Safari literature or Safari-specific parts.

1979 Safari Super Scat

Scat: In 1968-69 MBI contracted MZV of Bologna Italy to produce mini-bikes and mini-cycles using the Zanetti engines. They were given the brand name Safari Scat. Apparently the Safari Scat mini bike line of the early 1970’s included or became street legal full size mopeds with off road tires and fenders by around 1979. There are currently no pictures or details of those early Safari Scat mini bikes. There is only this 1979 Safari Super Scat.

Rovet: In the early 1970’s MBI went in partnership with an Italian engineer and started their own bicycle manufacturing company, named Rovet. In 1975 Rovet made the Safari Rovet, using the Zanetti front engine. Unlike the Bicizeta that was a folding step-thru frame, the Rovet was non-folding. It produced 1 hp, went about 19 mph, and was DOT approved for US streets.

Safari Rovet

1975 Safari Rovet

The Rovet gas tank was the main frame tube, with a petcock down near the pedals. The fuel tank is lower than the engine, and so a fuel pump is required to supply fuel to the carburetor. A supply hose from the petcock goes to the pump. A hose from the pump goes to the carburetor. The Dellorto SHA float type carburetor only lets fuel in when it is needed. The excess fuel supplied by the pump is returned back to the fuel tank. So a return hose goes from the carburetor to the top of the fuel tank.

Ridget and Super: In 1975-76 MBI began to import complete mopeds, made by MZV with Minarelli V1 engines.

1975 Safari Ridget

1975 Safari Super Extra

They were called Safari Ridget (no speedometer, painted fenders, no rear suspension, solo seat), Safari Super (stainless steel stripe fenders, F and R suspension, solo seat), and Safari Super Extra (speedometer, stainless steel stripe fenders, chrome rear coil springs and motorcycle type fork). Early Safari Super Extra had a solo seat. After mid-1977 they had a nicely sculpted long seat.

Fox: In 1976 the front-engine Rovet became the Fox. Two thin frame top-tubes were added. That made it no longer a step-thru frame.

Safari Super Minnarelli V1 stripe metal spoke wheels Domino step-thru

Safari Super Extra Minnarelli V1 stripe metal spoke wheels Domino step-thru

The heavy DOT tail lamps were too much for the thin stainless steel rear fender. The fender would eventually break at the tail light mount holes. To fix this, Safari had the 1977-later frames made with a large 1″ x 2″ steel washer welded to the back frame bar. The tail lamp was relocated there.

Super Extra by B. Small

These early Safari’s, from 1976 until mid-1978 all had the Minarelli flattened can type exhaust, nicknamed “pancake exhaust”. Most were the 40kph (26mph) speed version for Italy, which was OK for either 25 or 30mph US states. Some were 20mph versions with a different piston, a smaller carb, 9mm instead of 12. After mid-78 they had long exhausts, which upped the speed from 26 to 29mph.

New Safari models for 1978 had motorcycle style top mounted gas tanks. New model names were 300 MT and 400 MT (for Motorcycle Tank). The motorcycle tank models were more popular, in the US, than the step thru versions.

1981 Safari Commando

1983 Safari Variomatic

New for 1983-84 is the Minarelli C2 “continuous two speed” engine, on the Safari “Variomatic”. It has a variable belt pulley system, where one pulley gets bigger while the other gets smaller, continously. It is called a CVT continuously variable transmission. The result: quicker take off and better hill climbing!

1985 Safari 300MT Turbo

1985 300MT restored by Bill Small

1984-85 began the newer Minarelli V1-H engine, improved with an aluminum cylinder and more cooling fins. This eliminated the need for the fan and the fan shroud. The V1-H still had the piston port intake design of the older V1. The case ID has a cast “V1”, plus a stamped “H” after it.

With the floorboards on, the Minarelli V1-H looks exactly like a later V1-L. But look under the floorboards and you can see the intake goes in to the cylinder, not into the crankcase, like on the V1-L “case reed” engine.

Safari 300MT Turbo Minnarelli V1-L stripe metal spoke wheels OSL top-tank

Safari 400MT Turbo Minnarelli V1-L black plastic mag wheels OSL top-tank

Safari Commando Minnarelli 4-speed black plastic mag wheels OSL top-tank

1990 Safari 300MT

1991 Safari 300MT

1990 Safari 300MT

The V1-L one speed case reed engine had more take-off power and torque to climb hills than the V1-H piston port. So there was less need for all the complexity, extra cost and extra weight of the Minarelli C2 two speed engine.

Note that Safari mopeds did not say the model name anywhere. As a result, many people call their Safari mopeds the maker name, MZV, since that is the only other name on the frame. Also the model name MZV is used because it is what Safari’s are called in Italy and Europe. There is very little information about MZV in the Wheels of Italy pages, or anywhere else.
