Ducati Mototrans Piuma

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Ducati Mototrans Piuma was an open-frame touring moped, presented by Mototrans at the Barcelona Trade Fair of 1963 as one of the first two mopeds the company marketed, beside the sportier 48 Sport. It had a 47.6 cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine with three gears changed by a twist grip and a Dell Orto T4 carburettor, and the makers claimed 1.8 horsepower at 5,800 rpm. The frame was open, with working pedals, and the styling was aimed at relaxed everyday riding rather than speed. The later Rolly was described as similar to the Piuma but with an automatic transmission. Sources differ on whether Mototrans built it or first imported it from Italy.
