Moto Guzzi Tipo U

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Moto Guzzi Tipo U was a motocarro of 1942, an improved version of the ER that was built to government requirements. It had forced air cooling with a fan, but without the usual wind tunnel around the cylinder. A reduction stage in the final drive gave a high and a low gearing, so that the three-speed gearbox combined with the two final ratios to give six forward gears and two reverse gears. The fork and chassis were reinforced, and the payload rose to more than 1,000 kg. The Tipo U belongs to the wartime generation of the Moto Guzzi Triporteurs, designed with specific military tasks in mind, and it was followed after the war by the heavier Ercole.
