A Brief History of the Marque
Baretta mopeds are made by Piccoli Motori and are fitted with Morini Franco Motori and Minarelli engines.
Piccoli Motori was near Bologna Italy. Baretta is a trade name authored by Baretta of America, 2904 S Figueroa Av, Los Angeles California. The spelling of Baretta is that of the 1970s TV series, with an Italian detective, not the Beretta pistol. The Piccoli-made chassis for the Baretta Magnum and Cosmo Colt 1 and 5 are the same. The Piccoli step-through chassis for the Baretta 22, 38 and Cosmo Blazer 1 and 2, are the same. The Piccoli monotrave chassis for the Baretta 44/45 is similar to the Lem Pratikal, but the Lem rear lifting handle is straight, while the Piccoli is curved.

Baretta 45 45 and 1979
I have a great working 1979 Baretta 45. Everything works except it seemed the only way to start the moped is to pedaling it instead of kick start like the 2 Puch I had (77 and 78 Newport). It seemed very hard to find parts and not much info about this Vintage moped from websites like 1977moped, lucky2stroke, Treatland etc...For example, if you look this moped under MOPED TYPE, it does NOT appeared to be listed (non-existent) so I don't know what to look for when it comes to find parts/services. I'd love to get more info on this and in terms of pricing what would it be if I decide to sell in the future. I will send you pictures of my 1979 Baretta 45 later because I don't have them on this computer device. Thanks.

Moped for sale
Piccoli Motori Baretta 1978
1978 Baretta moped for sale in sunny Santa Monica, CA. The moped has been stored indoors and covered
for the last 3 years. In very good cosmetic condition with only minor flaws for a moped of this age. It
requires a good service or an enthusiast's attention to run again. Almost new tires and almost all the
original bright tomato red paint. The exhaust pipe could use a good scrub and a new coat of black paint.
Original seat is in excellent condition. Tank is beautiful and has all original decals and pin stripes.
I had a full restore/service about 4 years ago by Big Ass Motors (www.bigassmotors.com) which got the moped purring like it was new. A moped needs regular attention. I'd recommend taking it to Big Ass or maybe to Choke for some love.
1977 Baretta mopeds are rare, perhaps even vintage, and the parts alone are worth over $650. The moped is Italian made by Piccoli Motori with a Minarelli engine.

1978 Baretta Moped
Piccoli Baretta
I recently dug up my mom's moped. The tage by the handlebars says it's
a 1978 Piccoli. I have no clue how big the engine is all I know is the
sticker says Morini Franco Motori. I want to know about engine rebuilds,
performance parts, or any moped engines that will fit on the same bike.
Please let me know.

Information
Baretta Magnum
I have a top-tank moped manufactured in 1979 by Piccola Motor, I think.
The plate is damaged & difficult to read. It has a Minarelli motor.
Los Angeles Area
............
The bike was made by Piccoli Motori. My son wants to make a cafe racer
out of it, using an 86cc Minarelli VI speed kit. It was missing the speedometer,
so he replaced the headlamp housing with one from an old Cimatti Citybike
which incorporates a speedometer. He has also replaced the u-shaped handlebars
with slightly dropped handlebars. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet,
but the seller posted a couple of pictures on CraigsList. Also, there is
a picture of a black 1979 Baretta Magnum at Moped Army.
Cheers, Chuck
