Curiosità a Crema (CR)

[Gianluca]

[img]Oggi per lavoro mi sono imbattuto in un simpatico esempio di compromesso tra il presente
e il passato...

Avviamento elettrico (ma anche pedalina in caso di scaricamento batteria), gancio traino...
Il motore sembra quello mbk del booster...

Simpatico... [/img]

Who was the manufacturer? Empolini? - Ken

[Gianluca]

I think it's a MOTOFURGONCINO EMPOLINI S 72 50

Modified with the engine of a mbk booster 50...

the ignition pedal is useful in case of discharge of the battery ...



The engine is 2 stroke .. The gearbox is automatic as the scooter ... The weight is lower than that of APE 50 ..

Very interesting, I'll add the photos to the Empolini file in Motocarro World on my website. The photo of this one sort of led me to it. Ken

In your photo it seems to me that the floor is iron ...
what I saw I had the wooden floor ...



the picture is taken from a notice of sale on ebay...

Just an early model? Ford Model T's had wooden floors and when Henry Ford ordered engines/transmissions he specified they be delivered in wooden crates having provided exact measurements and specifications for the crates. The crates were then disassembled and the boards were used for floor boards in the vehicles he produced. Great Depliant. grazie, Ken
