Designed and built by Rinus Bruynzeel and Nico Groenerdijke of the Netherlands and Bernhard Neumann from Germany shortly after WWII, the M13 has a disc-valve controlling the inlet and was well ahead of its time.
The design came by way of DKW, for whom Neumann had worked, and from Holland it made its way to the UK where it resurfaced as the Cyclemaster.
Berini engines include:
In 1961 a new factory was established in Emmen, but this was closed after only two years due to problems with both supply and organisation.
Production ceased in 1964 when the company became bankrupt.
In 1967 the factory contents were bought by Anker Kolen Maatschappij and the Berini marque was re-established. Anker built the engines and Gazelle constructed the chassis, and some of the original model names were retained, for instance the Berini M48. In the the 1970s Berini mopeds were fitted with both Anker and Suzuki engines.
At various times mopeds were supplied to Union, Sparta, Locomotief and Simplex - the latter two having become part of Gazelle at the end of the '60s.
Berini had a branch in Germany which marketed the Berini Pluvier in the 1960s, BERINI-VAF GmbH Düsseldorf Siegburger Strasse 3.
In 1981 the Berini brand was sold to a South Korean firm which produced Berini mopeds for local consumption for many years. The marque returned to Dutch hands in 1999 and production was moved to China where 50cc mopeds were built with names like "Bella Milano" and "Dolce Vita", along with scooters.

Berini
F71 supersport
Hello,
I have a Berini model F71 (I think) supersport.
This one is to restore, because last time I ride with this was in 1985.
I began the restoration in the 80's and then I drive it for approximately 1000 Km.
Now, I do not know his value, and some one give me 100 euros for this, but I refuse completely, what do you think about it?
I have no photo for the moment, I'm sorry
The page on Motorcycle Valuations may prove helpful.

Hello Berini-Fans,
I own a Berine M13 engine which is presently mounted on a German Panther bike.
The nameplate on the engine says: Manufacturer: Werner Motorenbau at Verden/Aller. Verden/Aller is near Hanover in Germany. Does anybody know if Berini subcontracted this and other engines to other manufacturers? What is the collector's
price of this engine?

Hello there,
Something about Berini!
In fact an engine manufacturer, started in 1959, and went down in about 1964. Only moped engines, and one boat engine. A complicated story, later I will send more!

Berini started production in 1950 stopped in the sixties
I am owner of 2 berini's, the first berini m21 from 1955 is ready and restored it looks brand new again. The second berini m13 (the egg) is form 1951 (still restoring, it has to fit on a bike from 1927) Difficult but I'm sure I'll fix
the job.
The price of the egg in 1951 was 195 dutch guilders (without the bike of course)
The never made Berini motorcycles for the market. first a "hulpmotor" ( the egg) to fit on a bicycle later only mopeds (bromfietsen)
Only one time they made a 50cc racer in the early 60's
In the years after the war people lived here in poor conditions. So a moped was the first thing they cold pay when conditions went better. First berini production was in a factory at Parkstraat 91a in the Hague with 40 people on 180 m2 in 1951 they moved production to Rotterdam in a factory at Sluisjesdijk 109 with 80 people on 1000 m2 so thing went better.
The bike on your site is a Pluvier 130 with m13 motor made by Pluvier motorenfabriek at Sluisjesdijk. It's 32,5 cc 0,6 hp carburetor amal 308 / 1 or zenit 10 ms (encarwi is also possible)
Congratulations with it, It looks its in good condition!
I sent you some pictures before and after the restourationproject.
Vriendelijke groeten

I have just bought a Berini and I am interested to find out more about it to enable me to restore it. Any information that anyone can provide will be most useful. The license plate details suggest that it must have been made before 1952. Is
this correct?
