A Brief History of the Marque
Built in Poland between 1960 and 1990, these machines were exported to Hungary, Scandinavia and Germany, and probably a number of other countries. They were also marketed under the Neckermann marque.
United Bicycle Works in Bydgoszcz developed a moped structure with a simplified construction compared to vehicles from Zakrzów. The creators of the Komar moped were three engineers: Bronisław Kądziorski, Andrzej Kentzer and Józef Podlaski. Work on the design, testing prototypes and preparing for serial production lasted three years. Production began in mid-1960. The first production model had the designation type 230 and started a long development line of this popular Polish machine.
Models include:
Komar 230 (1960~)
49cc Romet Ogar 200 two-stroke, Jawa type 223 engine (1983-90)
Romet Kadet 110 Automatic
The parent company was Romet, which remains in business marketing, among others, the Pegaz moped.
