Jawa Babetta 49cc Moped - 1992
Although they were marketed under the well-known Jawa name, Babetta mopeds were made by Jawa's business partner, Povazske Strojarne (PS). The first Babetta had been conceived to meet the demands of the Dutch and German markets, where legislation required bicycle-like mopeds equipped with pedalling gear and large (23') wheels. This was the Type 28, first seen in 1970; a version with smaller (16') wheels soon followed. Continuously developed and expanded, the Babetta family would turn out to be enormously successful in Continental Europe, selling by the tens of thousands. During the 1970s the Babetta was fitted with electronic ignition, a 'first' for a moped. Production quality dropped markedly following the break-up of the Eastern Bloc, with many exported examples being deemed unroadworthy. Production ceased in 1997.
Believed original and unrestored having been kept in dry storage, this Babetta displays a total of 4km on the odometer.
