This engine was marketed after the Second World War to offer ordinary people the possibility of moving around, using it together with a simple bicycle. In the video, in addition to the restoration process, I will briefly delve into the history of these engines, illustrating the reasons for their birth and the context in which they emerged. While I will be restoring this engine, I will not be following a total restoration approach; rather, I will adopt a conservative method that will preserve its' lived-in appearance. The video will end with the completion of the engine restoration, while the second part will focus on its assembly on the bicycle and the related tests

    What a beautiful engine with an ingenious 3-speed gearbox! It is very special that people made such beautiful things at that time. Very good film of the restoration!

    what a beautiful little engine - why can't they still be made like this today. You have to admire the engineers who designed this in the first place - truly incredible.

    I ALWAYS LOVE EVERY VIDEO WHERE MACHINERIES GET OIL BATH OR GREASED .... LOVE FROM INDIA

    My God, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I had NO IDEA these mods were available when Roswell happened. How ahead of their time. 60cc on a bicycle is INSANELY fast !!!! I would've given up 1982 Christmas to have one of these !!!

    What a lovely little motor. What a treat to see a real mechanic fitting new bearings without a hammer
  • @SharkoonBln
    I´m impressed. Did not intend to watch the whole video, but I did. Very well edited. Those grease-shot alone are awesome 🙂
  • @rod0700
    Thank you for not ruining the engine by filling it with paint, you are a restoration hero!
  • @user-zo9dc1lu3q
    As Italian i can say only one thing : BRAVO !!! :face-red-heart-shape:
  • @peeps124
    Lovely! Very much looking forward to the next part too!
  • @aleksp.5742
    Всё шикарно сделано, за исключением одного момента! Нельзя класть столько смазки! То же самое- попробуйте наложить под завязку, в редуктор угло шлифовальной машины! Это приведёт к перегреву и повышенному износу ! Но в этом видео, главное «лайки», а не грамотность сборки!

  • @fredtracy1673
    I would love to see it fitted to a bicycle of the same time period! cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

    I like the blued/blacked fasteners, excellent touch. Not buffed, thank God.
