Carda Micromotors

A Brief History of the Marque

Manufactured: 1946-1954

Built in Bologna, this auxilliary engine was a 43cc two-stroke mounted beside the rear wheel of a bicycle with direct chain drive from the crankshaft to a sprocket bolted to the hub. There is some question about the dates of manufacture.
