Lem

July 13, 2012

Lem made in Italy by Lem Motor Minarelli or Morini engines

Lem began in 1973, at Lippo di Calderara, near Bologna, Italy. They made mopeds, scooters and mini bikes. In 1983 LEM motor’s production plant was moved to the present location of Kola Predosa, Italy, another nearby town. Since the 1980’s, LEM, like Italjet, has specialized in off road and racing motocross motorcycles for children. Since the late 1990’s Lem has been the world leader in that industry.

1970’s Lem monotrave frames can be identified by the 45mm clamp-on pop-up gas lid facing the right, the shape of the rear rack bars, the style of shocks and shock mounts, plus the cone taper under the seat. The 1970’s Italtelai tubone frame, looks like the Lem but has no taper cone, allowing for a very low seat.

Lem Motor makes the F. Morini line, a trade name made by the importer and US distributor, Herdan Corporation, Port Clinton, PA. Long lasting Herdan (aka Hermy’s) is still in business importing Italian motorcycle parts and accessories. Note that F. Morini is NOT the engine maker, Franco Morini Motori, nor the world famous motorcycle maker, Moto Morini.

Motomarina

Motomarina made in Italy by Moto Meteora Morini M1, Minarelli V1,V1L,V1HL

Motomarina is the brand name of Marina Mobili Inc (MMI).

Motomarina Sebring: The old name was “Motobecane Sebring” in 1979-80, when it had a Morini MO1 or MO2 engine. See MB Sebring for that. The Sebring is one of the few Italian mopeds with 17″ wheels, most are 16″.

1987 Motomarina Raven made by Moto Meteora SNC

Motomarina Raven: This excellent step-thru frame moped is made in Italy by Moto Meteora for Marina Mobili Inc (MMI), in Moonachie New Jersey. MMI imported and distributed them to moped retailers throughout the USA. The Raven has high-quality Bernardi cast aluminum 16″ wheels with Grimeca 11mm axles, 32mm-OD “standard” Grimeca bearing cups, and 90mm drum brakes, same as countless other Italian mopeds.

While most Sebrings had the case-reed no-fan aluminum-cylinder Minarelli V1-L one-speed automatic moped engine, the Raven had the older piston-port fan-cooled iron-cylinder Minarelli V1 (late) one-speed automatic moped engine. The Raven carburetor points forward and the intake goes into the cylinder (piston-port intake). The piston keeps most of the air from flowing backwards. The Sebring carburetor points sideways and the intake goes into the crankcase via a reed-valve (case-reed intake). The petals of the reed valve keep most of the air from flowing backwards.

Before it was called “Motomarina Raven”, the same bike, imported from Italy by MMI, was called “General TE”. It had Italian spoke wheels. General was a 1979-1983 Taiwan made moped. MMI bought the General name in about 1984.

Motomarina Tri-Power made in Italy + USA Minarelli V1-LHE

Minarelli V1-LHE engine

Motomarina is a trade name made up by Marina Mobili Inc. (MMI). MMI imported the Italian-made Raven two-wheeler, and somehow got Pryer Motorcraft, 4563 State Route 235, Ada, Ohio 45810, to install their American-made rear end kits to make the Tri-Power three-wheeler. It is not known whether MMI bought Pryer, or if they hired Pryer to produce the Motomarina Tri-Power.

Notice how the rear end with molded body is the same on the Pryer and the Motomarina, even though the frames and names are different.

Motomarina Tri-Power components: Minarelli V1-LHE engine with electric start, Dellorto SHA 14/12 carb, CEV “pancake” headlight, CEV-Domino integrated plastic switches, right side with start button. Domino “80’s black” controls, CEV magneto with ring gear around flywheel, Grimeca front hub with 90mm brakes, special rear trike hubs with 105mm Grimeca brakes. See spec sheet below.

Malaguti

July 13, 2012

Malaguti made in Italy by Malaguti Morini MO1, M1 or MO2

Malaguti is a family-owned motorcycle company based in San Lazzaro di Savena, Italy, founded by Antonio Malaguti in 1930. Antonio Malaguti was a well-known sportsman and racing cyclist.

1976-77 Malaguti Commuter official photo
(from the 1977 book “Mopeds” by Paul Dupre)

Malaguti Commuter was a US-model moped, one of the many successful products Malaguti made in the late 1970’s. These machines were originally imported to the US by Malaguti of America, 1851 Post Road, Warwick, Rhode Island USA.

Around maybe 1982, when the moped boom was almost over, Marina Mobili Inc, in Moonachie, New Jersey USA, bought out the US inventory and the rights to continue to distribute the Malaguti Commuter mopeds. MMI continued the trade name “Malaguti of America”.

Malaguti is not in the 1981 Moped Buyers Guide. In the 1977 book “Mopeds” by Paul Dupre there is one model, the Malaguti Commuter. The photos on the internet have dates of manufacture consistent with 1976 to 1980. This is a typical date range for US model mopeds.

1976-77 models had a solo seat. 1977-80 had a long seat.

1976-78 models had a CEV 9350 large oval 1-bulb tail lamp, a CEV “bullet” large bucket head light with built-in speedometer, and CEV round chrome clamp-on handlebar switches.

Canada models had different lights, switches, wiring and generator coils.

Malaguti ID

1978 Malaguti Commuter 2

1979 Malaguti Commuter 1

The gas tank stickers always said “Commuter” without any “1” or “2”.

At first the floorboard sides said nothing. After early 1977 they said “Commuter 1” or “Commuter 2”.

The ID plate was red and did not say the model.

1979 Malaguti Commuter 2

1980 Malaguti Commuter 1

1979-80 models had a CEV 9400 rectangular 2-bulb tail lamp, a CEV small bucket headlight, handlebar-mounted Veglia speedometer, CEV black plastic sliding clamp-on handlebar switches.

1980 models had a black Morini M1 reed valve engine. It produced more torque, for quicker acceleration. It climbed hills and accelerated as good as the MO-2 two-speed did.

Malaguti floorboard is the same as Baretta. The carburetor hole has been cut to allow easy removal without disconnecting the throttle cable.

Morini MO-1 start cable versions, side-pull and forward-pull

The three left photos A,B,C are Malaguti Commuters with Morini MO-1 Gyromat “side pull” engine. The start cable goes through the frame and pulls sideways. It enters the frame through a large hole on the left above the flywheel. The conduit stops at a small hole on the right.

The two right photos D,E are non-Malaguti mopeds with Morini MO-1 Gyromat and non-Gyromat “front pull” engines. The start cable does not go through the frame. Instead it is “backwards” because the inner wire is fixed and the conduit moves with the start lever arm.

This also shows that some Gyromat branded MO-1 engines have side-pull type clutch covers, and some have forward-pull type clutch-transmission covers.

Malaguti components: 1976-79 Morini MO-1 Gyromat with side-pull start cable, or 1977-79 Morini MO-2 with internal start cable, or 1979-80 Morini M1 (black) engine with forward-pull start cable, Dellorto SHA 14/12 or 14/9 carburetor, Domino chrome levers/controls, CEV electrics, 2.25-16″ tires, Grimeca hubs and 90mm brakes, CEV or Veglia speedometer with LH driver.

1. Fantic History

Garelli was an major Italian motorcycle and moped manufacturer , founded in 1919 by engineer Adalbarto Garelli.

Agrati was an Italian scooter manufacturer, founded in 1958. Agrati produced the 70cc, 80cc and 125cc Capri, the Rex Monaco and the 48cc Como. In 1960 Agrati merged with Garelli and used the name Agrati Garelli until about 1978.

Fantic Motor was founded in 1968 by Dr. Mario Agrati of Agrati Garelli, and Henry Keppel-Hesselink, who was responsible for foreign sales at Agrati Garelli. Fantic first produced a line of mini-bikes, go-karts and mini-enduro bikes, branded as Broncco for the American youth market.

From cybermotorcycle.com
In 1969 the Lombard factory at Sede e Stabilimento: via Statale, 22061 Barzago (CO) launched the famous 50cc Caballero which immediately met success with younger riders due to its technical superiority and competitive pricing. In 1973 the first 125 appeared, powered by a Minarelli engine built specifically for Fantic.

Late 1970’s and early 80’s Fantic mopeds also had Minarelli engines built specifically for Fantic. See Minarelli engine scroll down to V1 engine fan versions and head versions. The Minarelli C2 also had Fantic coverings. Fantic engines were mostly made by Minarelli but always said “Fantic Motor”.

Broncco minibikes and enduro bikes were made by Fantic and sold by Engine Specialties, in Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania. The 1969 to 1970 TC-4, TS-4 and BC-4 models were made by Agrati Garelli and had Garelli engines. All other Broncco models were made by Fantic Motor. The 1968 Broncco logo is the same as Fantic, suggesting it’s hidden identity.

So Agrati, Garelli, Fantic and Broncco were connected in the late 1960’s and 70’s. Sources are Wheels of Italy, Wikipedia-Garelli, and Fantic Motor Heritage.

Concord is a brand of US model Fantic mopeds, 1978 to 1980. The US importer/distributor was Wheelsport, 2424 NE Riverside Way, Portland Oregon. Both Fantic and Concord brands were sold in the US from about 1976 to 1981.

Fantic was successful in enduro competition and won the world championship in 1981. After 1981 their logo said “world champion”.

Fabbrica Motoveicoli: European motorcycle makers were struggling in the late 1980’s. Many were forced into bankruptcy followed by government ownership and control. Fabbrica Motoveicoli S.p.a. began managing Fantic from April 1987.

Gary: Around 1990 Fabbrica Motoveicoli also acquired the Agrati Garelli brand.
The 1990’s moped was a modernized 1984-86 Garelli Basic, called Gary.
Gary models had Garelli horizontal one speed pedal, and 1 or 2 speed kick start engines.
See Garelli Models.

The Fantic Motor factory closed in 1995. Under new ownership production resumed in 2005.

Fantic in UK: (from Wikipedia) Fantic began exporting to the United Kingdom in 1972, as part of a wave of manufacturers who took advantage of “sixteener laws,” legislation that forbade sixteen-year-old motorcyclists from riding motorcycles up to 250 cc, as they had been used to. As a result, European and Japananese manufacturers exported their sporty and lightweight below-50cc engines, which had been common in Europe, to England also. Fantic produced a “sensational chopper moped” and a TI “Turismo Internazionale”, both of which became very popular quickly, with the reputation of being some of the fastest mopeds on the market.

Barron: (from Wikipedia) The Fantic Motor motorcycles were first imported into the U.K. in 1972 by Barron Eurotrade Ltd whose headquarters were based at 51 High Street Hornchurch, Essex… The Fantic T.I. quickly became a worthy contender with the rapid growth of a dealer network. The six speed gearbox was a strong selling point, and the perky Italian Minarelli 49cc P6 engine (6-speed with pedals) proved to be very reliable. Stories of the T.I. model reaching 70 mph were an exaggeration, as only just over 50-55 mph could be achieved, and in the right conditions.

Concord is the brand name of US model Fantic mopeds. The US importer/distributor was Wheelsport, 2424 NE Riverside Way, Portland Oregon. Concord is not in any 1976-78 USA moped books and guides, so it appears they began in late 1978 or 1979.

In 1978 there was one model, Concord XKE, a mono-tube frame type moped with Minarelli V1 engine. In 1980 and perhaps late 1979 there were 3 more Concord models; Invader, Shadow and Freedom. In the 1980’s Los Angeles CA area there were only Concord moped dealers and no Fantic. In other states and all other countries there were only Fantic dealers and no Concord.

1981 was the first year of mandatory VIN label and manufacturer requirements for on-road motor vehicles worldwide. To avoid or delay having to do that, many European moped manufacturers produced extra inventory in 1980, that was stockpiled and later sold in 1981-84. That, and their focus on off-road, is probably why there are no 1981-83 on-road Fantic models.

From Sheldons EMU: In order to offer a product at the height of modern technology, the Barzago company established a racing department which contributed significantly to the development of Fantic with excellent results; they won the 1981 enduro world title. After 1981 their logo said “world champion”. The 1980’s saw Fantic offer a substantial model range that included road bikes and numerous specialty off-road machines. In competition trials more fine results accrued with rider Thierry Michaud winning three world titles for Fantic. Despite the quality of the product and impressive sports results, by the late 1980’s the Lombard company faced considerable economic difficulties. Japanese competition contributed to the collapse of many European motorcycle manufacturers in the 1980’s.

After 1985-86 European countries, starting with Germany, stopped requiring pedals on mopeds. Many other countries and some US states soon followed.

From Sheldons EMU: In 1995 Fantic production ceased. The brand was auctioned and bought by industrialist Frederick Fregnan who gave new life to the famous Lombard marque, and from 2005 to 2017+ a variety of new models was on offer. Thierry Michaud became head of trials at FIM, and was such in 2017.

Today they continue in the same genre, though the names have changed to dual-sport and motard (supermoto), and they have not returned to the US market. Fantic launched in 2015 also new models of electric bikes, the Fat Bike.

Gadabout Parts

July 13, 2012

Gadabout (UK) made in England by Phillips

The word “gadabout” means wanderer. The Phillips Gadabout was a popular 1950’s – 1960’s English moped. That kind of Gadabout moped is not included here.

Gadabout (US) made in Italy by Moto BM Minarelli V1 engine

Moto BM was started by Mario Bonvicini in 1950. BM first made bikes with Ilo 125 -175cc engines, then later with Morini and Minarelli engines 50-125cc. Moto BM made Gadabout mopeds in Bologna Italy.

Minarelli: All of the US-model Gadabout mopeds have Minarelli V1 moped engines, limited power 50cc one speed automatic with internal pedals.

Holiday Rambler: One of the earliest Gadabout moped sold in America was the 1978 Gadabout MK IV by the Holiday Rambler Corporation, made in Bologna, Italy by Moto BM (Bonvicini Marino). It was originally sold on the back of Holiday Rambler RVs to be ridden around campsites.

Almost all of them have no stickers left, because they cracked and fell off. That was the only thing that Gadabout owners were not glad about.

Robcor: At some point later, the Robcor Inc. in Plymouth, Virginia USA sold Gadabouts, both two and three wheelers, in 1979-80.

Pryer is a trade name of Pryer Motorcraft, 4563 State Route 235, Ada Ohio 45810. Pryer is mostly known for their three wheeled mopeds (trikes). Four different two-wheelers have been used to produce three-wheelers, Puch (Austria), Tomos (Yugoslavia), Motomarina (Moto Meteora, Italy) and Gadabout (Moto BM, Italy). The European made bikes were converted into three wheelers by Pryer in Ohio USA.

Baretta

July 13, 2012

updated 2020-06

Baretta made in Italy by Piccoli Motori Minarelli V1 or Morini MO1
Baretta also made in Italy by Italvelo Morini MO2 engine

Piccoli Motori srl was near Bologna Italy, but is not in the Wheels of Italy Encyclopedia. “Piccoli” is an Italian surname that also means “smalls”.

Baretta of America: Baretta is a trade name made up by Baretta of America, 2904 S Figueroa Av, Los Angeles California. The Wheels of Italy Encyclopedia lists Baretta but has no information. When you search Google for “ciclomotore Baretta” you don’t see any, but for “Baretta moped” you see dozens. That suggests it was a USA-only brand name. The spelling of “Baretta” is that of the 1970’s TV series, with a detective played by Robert Blake, not the “Beretta” hand gun.

Italvelo: Italvelo was in Bologna Italy, but is not in the Wheels of Italy Motorcycle Encyclopedia. They made mostly bicycles, and also Aspes, Bianchi, Snark, Italvelo, and Velomec mopeds.

provided by Don Stenersen

Oct 77 Magnum

Model 22: The first Baretta moped was Model 22, in early 1977 or possibly late 1976. It was a step-thru type with a solo seat. It had a Minarelli V1 1-speed automatic moped engine. The first tank stickers were plain block letters. The stickers soon changed to the slanted stylized logo with green and red background. That sticker style continued through 1979.

Sport 44: This model had a Franco Morini MO2 2-speed automatic engine instead of Minarelli V1 1-speed. The frame was made by Italvelo rather than Piccoli. Not many were made evidently because there are no photos on the internet, except this one.

Magnum: This top-tank model was popular. Americans, especially young men, liked the big 2-gallon gas tank and the motorcycle look. The Magnum was also offered with cast aluminum alloy wheels in the style Razze Incrociate made by Grimeca.

Mags: Grimeca in Italy made the world’s first cast alloy production motorcycle wheel in 1974. US-model mopeds first had Grimeca cast aluminum alloy wheels in 1977. They are called mags or mag wheels because the first car alloy wheels were made of magnesium. The style Razze Incrociate (crossed ray) is nicknamed “snowflake” in America.

Baretta learned that Americans like long seats, compared to Europeans. By 1979 all models had long seats.

Baretta of America – 1977 Parts Catalog

This edition covers models 22, 38, 44, 45 and Magnum, but not Sport 44. There are no dates anywhere on it. In the mag wheel section it says “pieces that differ in mag wheels, as used in model 45”. That implies that only model 45 had mags at the time the parts manual was made. That dates it to mid-1977.

Baretta Floorboard
carb “hole” is original

Malaguti Floorboard
this one is “slotted”

The Baretta and Malaguti floorboards look the same. The only difference is the bulge for the V1 or MO-1 start lever. Also the Cosmo Colt floorboard is like these, but with a different carb hole location. Piccoli probably made them, since that was their business.

Baretta components: Minarelli V1 engine 20(1.0hp), 25(1.5hp), 30mph(2.0hp) versions, Dellorto SHA 14/12 (or 14/9) carburetor, CEV lights and switches, Domino controls and levers, Grimeca hubs and brakes, CEV 6932 magneto, CEV or Veglia speedometer with LH driver. Gas cap for monotrave/tubone is clamp-on pop-up, for step-thru and top tank is 30mm qtr-turn.

Demm

July 13, 2012

Demm made in Italy by Daldi e Matteucci Motori Demm 1-speed engine

The S.p.A. Fratelli Daldi & Matteucci motorcycle factory was at Ufficio Commerciale Moto, Via Pirelli 16/A, Milan, Italy.

1960 Demm Dick-Dick

Daldi e Matteucci Motori (DEMM) began in 1953 in Milan, Italy. Their mostly 49cc two cycle engines were used by other marques, such as Legnano and Testi.

Late 1950’s In the mid fifties Demm produced a 49cc model called a Dick-Dick. In the late 1950’s UK, Bert Fruin built his own motorcycles and used the Demm 3M engine in his racing machines. The “Fruin Dartella” bikes raced in the Isle Of Man TT and at many other UK circuits. The 49cc 3-speed manual grip shift highly modified Demm Dick Dick engine also achieved a speed record of 89mph, according to Sheldon’s Emu.

Dellorto carb (1980’s replacement)

70’s Demm Smily
Italy model

Demm fork: It can be seen from these photos that some things from the late 1950’s are also on late 1970’s models. The 1958 Demm fork with cast aluminum top yoke and 3-bolt handlebar clamp, is the same as on a 1977 Demm Smily, except for the curved headlight mounts are made straight. This short fork is only on Demm, and is unique. The way the fender is mounted is unlike most other 1970’s mopeds.

Demm magneto: The photo of the red 1958 Demm shows a Dansi flywheel-magneto-generator, the same as on 1970’s Italian mopeds. It might be an 80’s replacement, because most 50’s-60’s mopeds had cast aluminum flywheels, not stamped steel. In the 1960’s Demm mopeds had CEV 6080 magnetos, with internal spark coil and aluminum flywheel. In the late 70’s on US models, Demm mopeds had CEV 6933 magnetos, with external spark coil, external ignition ground, and stamped steel flywheel. See CEV magnetos.

Demm carburetor: In the 1960’s Dellorto carburetors on unlimited 50cc engines were bigger UA-type with side-mount float reservoirs that could rotate to any angle. In the 1960’s Dellorto carburetors on limited 50cc engines were smaller SHA-type with bottom-mount fixed float reservoir. In the mid-1980’s some of the metal parts (inlet banjo, carb top, float bowl) of the SHA carburetors became black plastic. That black plastic float bowl on the red 1958 Demm is obviously a 80’s replacement. The original carb was something like a Dellorto UA16S like on a 1965 Benelli Fireball.

Demm gas cap: The rare 1977 Demm Smily black plastic gas cap, with M50 x 1.5 external thread, is the same as on some 1960’s Italian motorcycles, such as some 1965 Aermacci (Harley Davidson M50), 1965 Benelli (Wards Riverside), 1970’s Fantic (Concord XKE). See Gas caps

Demm mopeds (US models)

1977 Demm Smily

ZSN: Demm was first imported and distributed in the US by ZSN (Zelloe, Sgro, & Neiner, Inc. 351 S Raymond Ave, Fullerton CA 92635 USA), from late 1976 to about 1978. The Demm Scout, with stainless fenders, came from an eastern US distributor, somewhere, possibly ZSN east, PO Box 3176 Annapolis MD 21403 USA. There was also a Demm Smily 2, with ape hangar handlebars and a high back solo seat.

Grycner: All of the Demms in California USA are the Smily model, with white gas tank and fenders. Some of those are labeled as “Grycner”. They were distributed by Grycner Leisure Group (aka Grycner Motors Corporation) 301 Tamarisk Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262 USA. Grycner is also a two or three wheeled Taiwan made moped with a Sachs or Minarelli engine.

1978 Demm Scout
Demm 1-spd engine

Here is the genuine excellent line drawing exploded view of the Demm one speed automatic moped engine. It is similar to a Minarelli V1. The piston assembly interchanges Minarelli but the individual rings do not. The clutch looks similar. The clutch shoes/weights are the one-piece-molded kind, like Benelli.

The rotation of the Demm flywheel (left side) is anti-clockwise, opposite of Minarelli V1.

Demm start cable

The start cable attaches in a backwards way, where the conduit stops at the moving lever arm, and the pinch bolt is fixed, opposite of Minarelli V1.

Demm Smily components: Demm 1-speed engine 1.5 hp, Dellorto SHA 14/12 carburetor #52 jet, CEV bullet headlight, CEV round chrome switches, Domino chrome controls, Grimeca hubs and 90mm drum brakes, CEV 6933 magneto, CEV or Huret speedometer with LH driver.
