Post-Listing Update: This Cezeta did not meet reserve with one bid of $4,500.
The Cezeta 50x series of scooters are some of the most interestingly-styled vehicles that have ever been built. This is an example of the 501, the first of the series made by the Czechoslovakian company.
The odd shape had its advantages – the fuel tank was stuffed up front so the underseat area is a large storage compartment. The large front also provided another surface for a luggage rack, as well. The 501 had a 175cc two stroke single that was capable of getting the scoot up to 55 miles per hour. What you may not know is that Cezeta is coming back with almost the exact same style – but an electric powerplant – with 100 examples of the “Type 506” in the next year or two:
This example (VIN: 147965) has just 382 miles and is 100% original, even the tires. The seller says the bike started when he brought it into his collection two years ago but it has since sat so it will need a carb cleaning, at the least. The seller is more into Japanese bikes, so he wants this to go to someone who will appreciate it – and then he’ll use the funds to restore a Rabbit Superflow!
