OSA Scooters

A Brief History of the Marque

The Polish factory WFM (Warszawska Fabrica Motocyklowa) began designing scooters in 1952 to address the demand in countries controlled by the USSR. They built three prototypes in 1955-56, the best of which was named the Osa. Using the S-06 engine, a small batch of Osa scooters was built in early 1959 and production began in May of that year. The Osa M-50 had a 173cc engine and 14" wheels. A larger version was introduced in 1962, the M-52. Production was halted in 1965 after a total of 25,000 scooters had been built.

The factory also built WFM M06 125cc motorcycles.

Good morning to you all
My name is Jack (Jacek) Horbal. I apologize in advance for my Polish, but I've been in the States for 62 years. I have a request. I'm looking for a WFM Osa M50 or M52. I'd prefer the M52.
Are these scooters available?
If you know anything, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you very much, and best regards.
Jack
