A Brief History of the Marque
HMW machines produced by Halleiner Motorenwerke in Austria from 1949 to 1964 included the 49cc Fuchs bicycle engine, a range of mopeds and other lightweights, and two rather nice scooters, the Bambi and the Conny.
Glockner mopeds, also from Austria, used Halleiner 50Z engines, as did RWC of Austria and the Dutch Centro marque of the 1950s.
Other HMW powered machines included Avada, Delta Gnom, Vesting, Typhoon, Gazelle, Maxwell, Sarolea, l'Avenir, Salira, Cimatti and Gresvig.
Manufactured 1957 - 1961
HMW 50 SS/2, 2-speed, air cooled
HMW 50 SS/3, 3-speed, fan cooled
It is thought that around 14,000 of these were constructed.
NEW LIGHTWEIGHTS FROM AUSTRIA
The H.M.W. "Conny" THE Conny, star of the HMW range, was given a press party during the Motor Cycle Show and we were able to get a closer look at this 50 c.c. scooter.
It is a handsome machine, very much "made for the job" and not a modified moped. The specification includes 3-speed gearbox, 12 inch wheels and whitewall tyres, leading link front suspension and swinging arm rear. The tank holds 7 pints. The price of £96 17s. 6d. is for the machine exactly as illustrated, including the carrier and tool kit.
We asked the Concessionaires whether they were sure that a 50 c.c. engine was adequate for two people. They are absolutely confident that it is declaring that on the continent Connys are already doing plenty of pillion work. HMW machines are made by Halleiner Motorenwerke at Kottingbrunn, near Vienna. Austria like Britain is a member of the "Outer Seven" as opposed to the "Six" of the Common Market. For this reason Austrian machines will enjoy increasing trade advantages here.
As typical of the backing they are able to give the HMW range, the Concessionaires quote their "round the clock" spares service. The Concessionaires are the Atlas Motor Co. (London) Ltd., Atlas Wharf, London, E.9.

Selling engine
HMW 1957 50cc moped
Hello,I have had this engine for over 20yrs and decided it would best be used by one that wanted to complete a 1957 hmw moped project.I didn't realize how old this was until I got a good look at the tag on it 1957!! The Yr I was born! I would like to get $350.00 for it.
If I were able to find the rest of an HMW moped I'd build it myself.This engine has ZERO carbon deposites in the exhaust port.I know 2-strokes from racing them for Years and this one looks to be bench tested from the factory. It would be great for this to wind up in the right hands.This is the first time I've contacted anyone about this engine and if anyone you folks are probably the best Ave. For information as to step# 2. Hope you can help somehow,Thanks,Mark.

BTW, I just looked at the HMW page (I had a HMW Supersport before the Lohner), and noticed my very
first Moped wasn't listed as a user of the Halleiner motor. It was a small bicycle builder in my district of the
city, by the name of Delta Gnom, who built a very sporty looking moped with HMW motors. I had one in
silver, with a tiny standard fairing on it, and a swing fork in front.
I found an old photo of my Delta Gnom with the HMW motor.
My buddy on the right is riding a HMW Supersport.

Itom in the forum needs identification. Can anyone help?
Judging by the valanced guards, it appears very similar to a '59 model but slightly earlier. Possibly a first model Astor SuperSport of 1957. Ed. ........
The answer to the question dated september 2nd on the Itom page is, that it' s not an Itom !
The moped shown on the photo's is a HMW Super Sport from 1960. They were made in Austria.
Have a look at http://mo-ped.se/mopoja/hmw.htm
