Motom Moped VL

1945 - 1971

Motom Italiana S.p.A. manufactured motorcycles and mopeds in Milano, Italy, from 1945 to 1971.

Motom's first day of their launce was at the Geneva Motor Show in 1947. The debut there showed the first creation of Motom, the Motomic (Atomic Motor). A modern legend was born, a light and robust bike with a single-cylinder 4-stroke engine, with incredible performance and low fuel consumption, this immediately guaranteed the popularity of Motom.

Motom stared to build the first multiple production motorcycle in 1948, this is a very original bike, with which it was anticipated that at least a decade of trends would support the technology of frames manufactured by pressed sheet metal bike structures. The frame consisted of a main truss at the front of the motorcycle that incorporated the gas tank, while at the opposite side it divided the form of the two arms with rigid tubes that allowed room for the wheel.

In 1950, they presented the Dolphin 150, with a single cylinder engine tilted forward to a 147 cc head and valves with a four-speed transmission. The engine is housed far back, almost under the saddle, in a frame formed by the 'grand chamber' pipes.

In 1952, the 150 was replaced by the Delfino 163 cc with an increased power of 8 hp and speeds reaching 90 km/h. In 1953, the third model, the Motion Touring 98, with a frame formed by a central truss presses sheet metal that incorporated the gas tank. That same year, the GG 48 cc model was added to the lineup. In 1962, the Motomar Junior 100 was born, with same general features of the Motomar 92, but with a 99.8 cc engine. 1964 came the moped 48 D with three gear transmission and the same year, Motomar Peugeot went into production, built in collaboration with the French company Peugeot. The Nova is the 1965, with a two-stroke engine and, on request, the automatic clutch. A year later, he entered in the Junior Cross, off-road bike for 98 cc, followed by the Sport 50, with an engine of 48 cc. In 1967, this is the moped Daina, with two-stroke engine and automatic clutch, now flanked by Daina Matic automatic with variable speed. Thereafter, the Motomar because of financial difficulties, was forced to cease its motorcycle production.
