Manufacturer Unknown. Year of production around 1926.
An expert in the field, Mr. Stanislaw Rolinski has identified a previously unknown Polish motorcycle. It was probably built in the years 1925-1926 and so far no mention of it has been found in archival materials and professional press from the interwar period. According to Mr Rolinski, the Wisla moped was equipped with a 2-speed 75cc Sachs engine developing about 1.5 HP (1.1 kW), fitted to a chassis of Polish production - a simple tubular frame with rigid suspension and the fuel tank between the two upper beams of the frame.
The use of low-pressure balloon tyres was to ensure greater driving comfort, and the red paintwork was an additional incentive to buy. Apparently a shop with sports and tourist goods on Traugutta Street in Warsaw offered Wisla mopeds, but did not find buyers. Perhaps the reason for the lack of interest was that the price was too high in comparison with imported machines and to the quality of the moped itself.
There is very little information, but it is thought that the Wisla moped was probably the first utility two-wheeler built in Poland.
