The lost Austrian 'Bambi' scooter

Rare ONES Wow, what brand of scooter is this? Where does it come from? These questions were raised when we first saw it on the internet. At first glance, the shape looks like a British-made scooter with the characteristics of a large front fender. But after we dig deeper and found that the scooter is one of the scooters made by Austrian manufacturer. This is shown an indication that the world's scooter trend of 1950s that occurred in Austria was quite booming, this can be seen by the presence of so many scooter brands that have been born from the country.

You will remember, some time ago, we submitted several articles discussing the 1950s scooters made by Austrian manufacturers, such as the Colibri from Josef Walter & Co or several scooter models made by KTM ranging from Mirabel, Mecky to Pony. Then there are several scooter models produced by Puch, then there are scooters designed by Otto Kauba that are made and also marketed into several other brands.

The scooters that will be discussed this time are less well known, and rarely known to scooter enthusiasts outside Austria. The Austrian manufacturer, Halleiner Motoren Werke A.G. (HMW) was founded by Ing. Anton Fuchs and Franz Hinterberger in 1946 and operated to 1962 had produce several products including the Fuchs 49cc bicycle engine, several mopeds and other light-class two-wheeled vehicles as well as several scooter models.

At the time the Hallein-based manufacturer was succes becoming the king in the moped market, with the HMW Fuchs built-in motor. But when the scooter fever hit the world, made the Austrian manufacturer was also interested in making it. And in the 1954 Vienna-held spring trade fair, surprisingly the company launched a prototype scooter called the HMW 75RG. The prototype scooter form is similar in simplicity to the early Kauba and Lambretta, but much prettier.

A year later, the HMW 75RG Bambi series model was presented at the same event. At first glance the scooter has a little similarity with the previous year prototype model, but is very beautiful and the Bambi is described as a work of scooter art features with big and wide fenders with a bullet-shaped headlight perched on it, then lush shield acompanied with compact dash, full engine fairing, big-sized spoke wheels.

It is not known why the scooter name is the same as a Walt Disney's cartoon series entitled Bambi produced by MGM Film. It is thought that the name was considered a form of appealing to consumers only. Finally, the name using was stopped altogether, after receiving objections from the company that produced the cartoon.

Unfortunately, the scooters sales figures in the market did not go according to plan, and the use of a 75cc engine was said to be the reason. As qouted of fahrzeuge.dorotheum.com, the engine was considered lousy to carry the 100 kg-weighted scooter for agile running on the streets, and even not to be better by the use of a two-speed manual gearbox.😏

In the first year (1955) it turned out that the Bambi model sold only 314 units and in the following year only 95 units. The often rumored 1,200 units sold numbers might fall into the fairytale category, even as some rebadged as the Cosmo 80 models exported to America ended up with the losing money.😒 It seems that the company has not given up yet on the loss in the scooter sales, it's still pushing its luck by producing the moped-scooter mixed two-wheeled vehicle models.

The company's next scooter product named the HMW 50 Maya of the 1957 and the next folowing year the company moved from Hallein to Kottingbrunn, and production of the Bambi scooter was stopped, thus Bambi as the name of the scooter model then disappeared. Shortly after in the 1959 that the Austrian manufacturer once again started production of another underpowered moped-scooter mixed two-wheeled vehicle named the HMW 50 Conny.

The manufacturer continued to produce mopeds until the 1960s, before actually ceasing its operations in 1962. It seems that the company's products have difficulty competing in the market, which has an impact on the company's financial which has deteriorated. Finally on May 16, 1962, the Austrian manufacturer stopped all production after producing approximately 128,175 units of two-wheeled vehicles of various types including mopeds and scooters.😭

That's it, and if the article above is still considered inadequate or inaccurate, or if you have additional information related to these Austrian HMW's unique-shaped scooters, please don't hesitate to let us know via the comments column below this article.

This is Norbert Riedel's unique scooter of the '50s

Rare ONES It is possible that the emergence of various scooter designs at the beginning of their development in the late 1940s to the early 1950s can be connected indirectly to the many aircraft designers and engineers who suddenly lost their jobs shortly after the 2nd World War ended. This is understandable because at that time many manufacturing industries were closed because many factories were destroyed during the war which then caused economic decline in a number of countries in Europe and even throughout the world.

Germany, which is known as one of the countries directly involved in the 2nd World War (and at the same time being the country that lost at the end of the war) has so many manufacturing industries which of course have abundant human resources to run the manufacturing industrial activities. And of the many German aircraft designers and engineers that existed at that time, one of whom is Norbert Riedel, who is known during the Second World War had managed to design a two-stroke starter engine for the first Luftwaffe fighter jet.
The German's Riedel Till scooter prototype while on role in the 1950 German's movie titled "Schwarzwald mädel" (The Bride of the Black Forest). (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3o8uq20)
When the war ended, reportedly that the American military was eager to get the jet engine starter motor then they supplied Norbert Riedel a number of production machineries to make it. And by using these machineries that allowed him to produce motorcycles later. At that time motorbikes were very easy to build because of the availability of material after the war was very large and cheap.

As quoted of Cybermotorcycle, the first motorcycle made by Norbert Riedel used a unique egg-shaped engine with a capacity of 98cc which was able to burst of power up to 4.5hp which was the result of his creation as well. Uniquely, the cylinder and head are one part plus the transmission system is also not equipped with neutral gear. In short, at Christmas 1947, The first Riedel's motorcycle was ready for road tests.

In 1948, Riedel founded a production facility named Riedel Motoren AG. in Immenstadt where he produced motorbikes under the his-owned brand 'Imme,' (a German word for 'bee') which was also reflected in the logo. Then in 1949, the Riedel Imme motorcycles began to build with only 80 units of Imme R100 motorcycles in the first year of production. Furthermore, production continued to increase during 1950 ranging from 400 units to 1,000 units per month.
1949 Riedel Imme R100 uses an egg-shaped single cylinder 98cc engine capable burst power up to 4,5hp. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3j5Yj2i)
Although the sales of the R100 motorbikes were quite good, the financial problems arose then followed by warranty issues which caused the production process should be stopped.😕 During those difficult times, Riedel designed a new 150cc 2-cylinders engine with a shape similar to his previous single-cylinder engine. He also plans to revive his business by launched an enhanced version of Imme motorbike along with the new scooter model.

Regarding the scooter model, it is closely related to Norbert Riedel's interest in the success achieved by many other scooter companies, especially the big brands from Italy (Vespa and Lambretta), and several other brands from Germany. Then in the late of 1949, he tried to design a scooter by making major changes to his minimalist Imme concept by using 8-inches sized wheels.
The 150cc 2-cylinder engined Riedel Imme motorcycle sat on display alongside the Riedel Till scooter at the 1952 Paris Motor Show (Salon de Paris). (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3j5Yj2i)
As quoted of Moto-Collection, there's a strange scooter was born in 1950 and named Riedel Till whose its prototype was said to use a 100cc single-cylinder engine and even had starred in a German movie entitled 'Schwarzwald mädel' (The bride of the Black Forest) in the same year.

The Riedel Till scooter model was launched for the first time in 1950 was driven either by an air-cooled single-cylinder 100cc or the new double cylinder 150cc engine (bore x stroke: 48 x 51 mm) fitted with a cooling turbine and the clutch is operated by hand or by foot pedal.
The 2nd version of the Riedel Till scooter uses a turbine-cooled 2-cylinder 150cc engine with redesigned bodywork and drawn by Daniel Rebour. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3cEYkJ4)
The Riedel's scooter use 8-inches wheels mounted on the overhang. The engine could be spew power of 6 hp at 5,000 rpm, and able to make the 80kg-weighted scooter run up to top speed of 80 kph with high operating flexibility. And reportedly, the Riedel Till scooter was made only 5 units during the period 1949 to 1950.

Unfortunately, the financial difficulties again became a major problem for the German company and had to end production again in 1951 after produced almost 10,000 motorcycles.😑 If the brand had no financial problems at that time, almost certain the Riedel Till scooter will be faced another complicated problem while in competition with the Italian duo scooters (Vespa and Lambretta) which are admittedly a little more attractive.

As quoted from Cybermotorcycle, it is known after that Norbert Riedel worked at Triumph Werke Nürnberg (TWN), a motorcycle manufacturer in Nürnberg and Victoria-Werke developed the Victoria KR21 Swing motorcycle and the 200 cc two-stroke engined Victoria Peggy scooter. Sadly, he died in an avalanche incident in 1963.😢
Besides his-owned brand, there are several brands associated with Riedel such as the Golbi, it was a re-badged Imme R100 which appeared at the 1949 Brussels Motor Show then disappeared without a trace. Then there was the Zircon, the R100-engined moped which appeared at the 1950 Brussels Motor Show but it was never produced at all. The last was the Stella 150 prototype scooter built by the Nantes-based company with the same name that famous for its bike products.

That's it, and if the article above is still considered inadequate or inaccurate, or if you have additional information related to the Riedel Till scooters, please don't hesitate to let us know via the comments column below this article.

Here's the two-wheeled artwork of PapnMam Modified

ONE-OFF The presence of various forms of artwork is like a magnet that can always attract enthusiasts to enjoy it. And works of art don't have to be present in general forms such as paintings, sculptures or others. Yes, works of art could also be realized in the form of motorized vehicles. This is like what was shown by a Semarang-based modification workshop called PapnMam Modified at the Kustomfest 2020 annual event which was held in December 2020 in then.

It's gorgeous, that is an expression that came out when watching this neat Honda GL-400 Custom motorcycle made by the Semarang-based modification workshop on display at the Kustomfest 2020 event at the Jogja National Museum. How's look? You could be seen a custom motorcycle figure comes with a minimalist design blend in a futuristic concept, making it appear like a modern contemporary work of art.
The Honda GL-400 Custom is built by the Semarang-based workshop called PapnMom Modified and from the Honda GL400 only the engine is taken, the rest is made by hand. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
As quoted from Otomotifnet, the only-one custom motorbike was built by the Semarang-based modification workshop for more than 1 year (1 year 2 months to be exact) since 2019, with the initial concept of a café racer, and over time many changes have occurred up to its final result carries a futuristic concept as seen today.
The Honda GL-400 Custom body and chassis made by hand and using the origami technique. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
The motorbike modification project began when the motorbike owner intends to build his Honda CB-400, then changed his mind after getting a hunk of the Honda GL-400's longitudinal configuration V-Twin engine unit. And Hendra Cahyono as the bike builder of PapnMam Modified gave a lot of design input to Noval Mustapha, the motorbike owner while working on the modification project.
The PapnMam Modified's Honda GL-400 Custom fuel tank uses a separate, futuristic chassis model. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
As for your information, the Honda GL-400 is a 400cc variant of the Honda GL-500 Silver Wing, a touring motorcycle that uses an innovative Honda CX500 engine with uncommon based technology and was rarely used in its time. Apart from adopting a longitudinal V-Twin engine, it is also equipped with liquid cooling, electric starter, shaft drive, modular rims and two CV-type carburetors which are set to reduce emissions.
The cafe racer concept clamp handlebar is the main controller of the PapnMam Modified's Honda GL-400 Custom. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
Then the machine is placed on a frame and chassis made with the 'origami' technique. The technique applied on the bike is not 'origami' in real mean (Japanese's paper folding art), instead by manually assembling the chassis made of metal plates one by one, which previously had made the patterns on the yellow cardboard on the scale of 1 : 1.
The Honda GL-400 Custom is installed with a Keihin Carburetor which is added with a custom square velocity stack. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
And according to the builder, the method will simplify the process to apply onto the real chassis. Only by transferring the cardboard motif to the metal plate then assembling it into one complete chassis. Then by using the same method also applied by the motorbike builder on the body making process. The work ranging from the fender, fuel tank to the radiator cover. The thin and hollow frame in the center creates a dynamic and artistic impression. Then followed by a stern that seemed to be seen only as a thin sheet.
Inside the Honda GL-400 Custom exhausts is embedded a handmade valvetronic system to help reduce sound. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
And the one off modified GL-400 bike is also equipped with axle drive as standard, that's seems to have its own difficulties while in the installing process. The distance between the engine holder and the arm must be made precisely, for the reason then the builder should be redesigned the default swing arm, and must not be made too long or short in order to be installed optimally.
The Honda GL-400 Custom has a plaque with the serial number 001/001 which indicates the motorcycle is only one in the world. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
The next difficulty occurred when the rear drum was made, because the original motorcycle used tires with a maximum size of 120 inches, while the modified motorcycle used 160-inch tires so that it was not possible to shift the axle. And the solution taken by the motorcycle maker is to shift the engine position about 1cm to the right. Besides the body, there many parts on the modified motorbike are no less eccentric, such the front and rear drum are made of T6 dural aluminum material which is combined with aftermarket rim spokes and wrapped by a pair of the slick tires of Dunlop.
The Honda GL-400 Custom used the redesigned swing arm and shifted the engine position 1 cm to the right so that Dunlop 160" slick tire can be installed at rear. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
The engine was left relatively standard, because according to the manufacturer when it was first received it was fully rebuilt and he only made a new pair of the chrome layered exhausts. To reduce the exhaust sound then the builder added an electronic valve or valvetronic. The exhaust's valvetronic system was made by himself with a servo that uses a car's power window dynamo whose its cover is made of metal so that it is heat resistant.
The Honda GL-400 Custom is built by the Semarang-based workshop called PapnMom Modified while on display at the Jogja National Museum in the Kustomfest 2020 annual event. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Mnr5PM)
When the modified motorbike is half-made with the engine installed, the builder done a series of the tests is carried out for 3 weeks to 1 month. The goal is to make sure all components are safe and working perfectly. As the finishing, the builder does not give the color to the body, only whitewashed with clear coat. As if proudly showing the metal lines on the body. As the result, the one off modified GL-400 motorcycle has became a star in the Kustomfest 2020 event and lots of compliments had been pointed to it during the show.
And maybe one day, this gorgeous motorcycle seen by the Petersen Automotive Museum to become one of the motorozed vehicle art works on display. In our opinion, this modified motorcycle has a high artistic taste that is reflected during the manufacturing process. And what do you think?

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of the two-wheeled monster and stay alive with true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops...... *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PAPNMAM MODIFIED

BMW R18 'Spirit of Passion' by Kingston Custom

Recently BMW Motorrad teamed up with one of the famous German motorcycle modificators, Dirk Oehlerking in one modification project over the BMW R18 known as most expensive BMW's motorcruiser into a work of art. As it is known that Dirk Oehlerking is a famous motorcycle modifier from the Kingston Custom modification house.

The Dirk Oehlerking's style of modification is unique and most of the motorbikes he modifies look like works of art instead of motorbikes. This can also be seen in one of his works made on the BMW R18, a premium motorcycle is sold all over the world with a pretty fantastic price tag, starting from the US. $ 17,495 (or approximately Rp. 969 million).

Indeed, the German motorcycle manufacturer deliberately asked Dirk Oehlerking to modify the most expensive cruiser motorcycle their made. As they also have asked to several other famous modifiers such as Roland Sands and Bernhard Naumann to do the same modification project over the BMW R18 motorcycle last year.

"When I accepted this challenge, I didn't make many modifications because the bike was already very beautiful and perfect," said Dirk Oehlerking. Indeed, he did not made much changes over the BMW R18 motorcycle. Especially in the chassis and body of the motorcycle. However, the most controversial is the Kingston Custom typical additional large-sized fairing.

The Kingston Custom typical fairing appearance is indeed close related with the art deco style. In order to give the BMW typical touches, Dirk Oehlerking installed the BMW typical kidney grille on the large-sized fairing in the front. An the end, the color choice of black makes a perfect blend between the shape of the motorcycle and the new fairing.

Another part that changed was the muffler. In this BMW R18 motorcycle modification project, Dirk Oehlerking uses his signature muffler to keep it in sync with the new big-sized fairing. In terms of design, the BMW R18, entitled 'Spirit of Passion' by Dirk Oehlerking is not too drastic compared to the modifications made by Roland Sands and Bernhard Naumann.

As we all know, that the French-famous motorcycle builder and modificator, Roland Sands notably transformed the bike into a special dragster bike called  RSD X BMW R18 Dragster while the Austrian modificator Bernhard Naumann made The Blechmann R 18. Well, from the appearance alone, the style differences between the three BMW R18 motorbikes already can be seen clearly. So what could you be said about the three creation motorbikes of them?
But it could be said that Dirk Oehlerking's distinctive touch was what succeeded in making people curious about this motorcycle. "BMW Motorrad's trust in me is the best thing I have ever felt until today," said Dirk Oehlerking at one of his statements.

The lost French's Stella scooter

It's GONE So far, automotive products have come and gone. Over time, if automotive products from the past can survive the journey through time, then make it something that is considered classic and has high economic value

However, there are also many automotive products that are only seen for a moment or cannot last after that, as if they just disappear. They then invite curiosity and curiosity from us or maybe other automotive enthusiasts.
The Stella scooter presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1951, and marked the brand's entry into the motorized world. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3iypUZL)
Like the
classic scooter figure that had aroused our curiosity. Does anyone know? What is this gorgeous scooter name? Some called it Stella, and said it was made in 1951 by French company. (In our sight) at first glance it is similar to the Aldimi scooter brand of Belgium.

Then we tried to find information about this unique scooter among scooter lovers on Facebook. And based on the information we received from Jean-do DuCreusot Et Jacotte, a member of the Scooters of Germany Group on Facebook, which stated as follow, '
A French prototype called STELLA , shown by STELLA, a bicycle-moped builder located in Nantes (west coast). Few informations of the Salon de Paris 1951, tells us that it must (should) be based on a German Till Riedel scooter, 150 cc twin Riedel engine, with French homemade elegant body.... just this prototype appears in the French scooter story....'
The Stella scooter is built based on the German's Riedel Till scooter. The Till scooter while on role in the 1950 German's movie titled "Schwarzwald mädel" (The Bride of the Black Forest). (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3o8uq20)
It didn't stop there, we later also managed to find information related to the scooter mentioned above on a site in French named the Moto-Collection.org. As they wrote, that's the Stella scooter shown off at the Paris Motor Show (Salon de Paris) in October 1951. It was a French company scooter creation built based on the German's Riedel Till scooter.

The only one scooter under the Stella-brand built by the Nantes-based company with the same name that famous for its bikes, as the French company attempted to enter the world of scooter. On the event, as we could be seen the Stella scooter shown off in front of the French's rooster symbol and the range of the brand's bikes.
The rear of the Stella scooter is adorned with a superb double tail, inspired by the American Cadillac cars. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3iypUZL)
It is assumed that all of its single-arm front and rear suspension chassis are taken directly from the Till and it comes with the choice of the Riedel 125 single or 150 twin engine. It could be said that's a fine exercise in style and an engine full of promise, with its elegant Cadillac-style double-tailed. But, the French scooter has no luck, it only live for the duration of the show. Since then no one know its existences. What a pity! 😞

That's it, and if the article above is still considered inadequate or inaccurate, or if you have additional information related to the French's Stella unique-shaped scooter, please don't hesitate to let us know via the comments column below this article. Wanna see another unique French scooter called Proto Delaplace.
