Scooters Manet and Tatran

The Manet and Tatran scooters represented a solitary "scooter" episode in the history of Považské strojírny, as did the Čezeta scooters at ČZ. The design solutions of the scooters were completely different for both companies, both in terms of vehicle concept (frame vs. self-supporting body), as well as individual components (14" wire vs. 12" pressed wheels, engine specially developed for scooter use vs. modified motorcycle engine, etc. ) Precisely because these are interesting machines in design, which were comparable to foreign competitors in their time, we should not forget them.

In this book you will find a brief overview of the history of Považské strojírny and the production of motorcycles in this plant, a mention of their first motorcycle Manet M-90, but mainly all the information about the construction and technical data of the scooters Manet and Tatran (of course, there are also adjustment values, some practical advice for owners and renovators and last but not least, some extra trivia). Do you know the tricycle called "Boiler"?
