Did you know that Tomos builds 40,000 (yes -forty thousand) frames a year for BMW?:rob

That must be a good reason for them to have their own section on here!:thumby:
 
I'm not an expert on the subject but I think they build about a third of BMW's annual needs which could be anything from a complete frame to just parts like side and centre stands. They build the scooter frames and the rear sub frames for the GS. I'm not sure if that was just the old ones or if it includes the WC's
 
Oh! And if you think the mopeds look like the Puch's of the 70's you'd be right! Before the emancipation of Slovenia, Tomos was owned by Puch and Daimler.:thumb

My first 'bike' was a Puch Maxi and the Tomos is so similar in every respect :thumb2

Nice one Rob, such cool looking bikes and prob a bit more practical than a Tomos as it'll have a bit more grunt :)
Are you having to import it?

Sorry Mean't that they will be on their way here soon , I have not bought one ....................yet . I am looking for a mint Mk 2 T Max at the moment , hard to find , but they were built in Japan as opposed to Spain where all the Mk 3 onwards have been built . Had a Mk 1 +2 + 3 T Max and for build the 2 was best .

Ah, fair enough - lovely looking bike though isn't it!

Oh, and you wanted to know if the seat was adjustable on the Tomos - yes it is, by a good 2 inches above the position in the photos on this thread.

Good review HERE :D:D:D

The timing is nice. They took away my high-spec Range Rover Sport with "ebony and ivory" interior and heated leather seats. Ten minutes later, this little fella turns up: a baby blue 50cc Slovenian scooter called Tomos.

Do they not know who I am? I'm a distinguished motoring correspondent, at a quality international news organisation. Yes, that Sam Wollaston. So! WTF?

It's obviously ridiculous to compare a Range Rover with a Tomos. But because the latter has replaced the former, it's hard not to. At 55kg he weighs 2.6% as much as the Range Rover. Cost, also expressed as a percentage: 1.6. Cost compared with the cost of the audio system on the other: 27.9%. That's right: this whole vehicle costs a little over a quarter the price of the Range Rover's radio! Perhaps now you can understand my slight shock?

Cue stories of 'when I were a lad'.............. :D

When I were a lad (14/15) a guy gave our little gang a Puch Maxi he had sitting in the bottom of his garden. Getting that bike road worthy was the start of my love afair with all things mechanical. Who knows, if it wasn't for that little Puch I may never have got into bikes, nor would I have learnt that increasing the size of the exhaust port top and bottom by a couple of mm is not condusive to a long lived engine........... :D ).
