Moto Rumi
A Brief History of the Italian Marque
The Officine Meccaniche di Vanzago company of Via Felice Cavallotti, Milano, built the Dik Dik 43cc micromotore per bicyclette which was mounted upside-down in the frame of a bicycle, above and behind the pedal crank, and drove the rear wheel by means of a friction roller.
It was produced from about 1950 to 1952.
The micromotor was marketed by COMITAR s.r.l. of Milan. Vangazo is midway between Milano and Legnano.
