Vesting

Otto Dik founded his bicycle firm in Haarlem and built mopeds in the 1950s, constructed with HMW engines in Paperino frames. Another of his machines was the 1956 Vesting Corsa with a Demm engine - it was a rebadged Demm.

His Galletti scooters were fitted with Demm and HMW engines. (Benelli also marketed Galletti scooters)

The Vesting Corsa 1956 had a 49cc Demm engine block.

N.B. The Vesting logo is a fortified castle. The English translation of vesting is fortress.
