Post Sale Update: After 4 bids on eBay, this Italjet sold for $1,125.
In the 60s, Italjet produced a folding scooter called the Kit Kat. It was designed for pilots and sailors who found themselves at a destination without wheels. A couple of decades later, the Italian company modernized the idea with a scooter they called the Pack 2. It’s not what I would call the prettiest scooter ever made, but the clever design has earned it a place as one of only 3 motorized two-wheelers that are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
Can you guess what the other two motorized two-wheelers in the collection are? Find out if you’re correct by clicking this link. Italjet was clearly proud of this, so they added a plaque on the scoot:
The motor is a Piaggio 49.77cc 2-stroke unit that produced 1.4 horsepower. The Pack 2 rides on 13 inch wheels, and it weighs 85 pounds. It’s 38 inches tall with the bars up, or 23 inches when the bars are folded down.
This example has been modified as the pedals were removed and the rear brake lever has been moved to the right side. It does not have a title and because there is no odometer the mileage is unknown. The biggest flaw would be a crack in the plastic cover around the fuel tank. Find this Pack 2 for sale in Coram, New York with an opening bid of $999
