Rex Motorcycles of Munich

Rex-Moped-Verkauf GmbH., Braunschweig was founded by the brothers Bagusat.

After moving to Munich, between 1948 and 1964 the company built bicycle engines and complete mopeds. The two-stroke engines were of 31cc, 34cc, 40cc, and 49cc. In 1954 their promotional literature claimed that 750,000 machines had been sold.

The company history is rather tragic in that its resources were gambled away, leaving nothing to pay the suppliers or employees.

The last of their machines were built (or assembled) by Pantherwerke, also of Braunschweig.

1961 Rex Como
I just purchased a 1961 Rex Como today and am looking for spare parts to proceed with a full restoration. I am in need of a piston, head, chrome side covers that cover the carburetor, carburetor, left side cover, gas cap, source for key, seat cover and foam, and tail light lens. I am also in need of any information/history on this bike as well as parts manual/service manual.

1952 Rex-Motoren-Werk. Munchen 49cc
I had sent you a message earlier and then cancelled it, as I thought I found what I needed. I need a set of tires for this bike. I thought they were 21 inches x2.25. If you know what I need and where I can get them, it certainly would be appreciated.
