INESMO
Built bicycle attachment engines mounted within the bicycle triangle which drove the rear wheel by friction roller. It is not clear whether there was a relationship with Piatti, whose Mini-Motor was of quite different design.
The 77cc Moto Inesmo light motorcycle was offered in 1952.
Brand registered on February 17, 1951, by Mariano Berrozpe Fernández with SEMIMOTO INESMO.
(Boletín Oficial de la Propiedad Industrial, 03/16/1951 nº 1535 pag. 52)
The information above is a bit confusing as the Inesmo brand was in use from 1949, according to a Spanish museum and a knowledgable private owner.
