Did you know that Laverda made scooters? I sure didn’t. In 1959, Italy changed their highway code, allowing for riders without licenses to finally use ‘mopeds’ without pedals, as long as they were limited to 40 km/h. Laverda immediately started building a 4-stroke scooter with a 49cc engine.
In ’62, Laverda made the scooter longer and added a 60cc option with 3 gears. For more information on this rare scoot, check out Laverdino.de.
This example was stored for 40 years but it’s claimed to sound very good with the clutch and gearbox working as they should. The seller says the speedo cable and “carb cable” (I assume that’s supposed to mean throttle cable?) should be replaced. Find this rare Laverda for sale near Titusville, Florida for $1,125 here on Craigslist.
