The history of mopeds from the Minsk plant MMVZ - they come across very rarely

Soviet motorcycles were offered in one class - road. But they were divided into three categories - light, medium and heavy. The first were the cheapest - rural youth bought them after a season of work on a collective farm. And this was in the role of assistants. Some managed to earn enough for medium motorcycles - Izh or "Java". But "Minsk" or "Voskhod" were better suited for young people. Firstly, these models are light, so that guys of a slender build could handle them. Secondly, the fuel consumption of motorcycles was pleasing. According to a popular rural legend that appeared in the 60s, "Minskach" is able to move on a glass of fuel all night. Maybe this is true - it depends on where you go. The main thing is to get to the village club, and then they will fill up with gasoline.

In addition to light motorcycles "Minsk", the MMVZ plant produced mopeds. Only in small batches, so few people remember about them. The manufacturer had an interesting model that turned a lot of boys into fans of two-wheeled vehicles. This is a pedal moped "Kokha". Unfortunately, they appeared already in the 90s, so they are little known in Russia. Although, initially it was also sold here - from the Krasny Oktyabr plant. D-8M engines were just being produced there. They were exchanged by barter for running gear of mopeds from Minsk. In general, "Krokha" is a child of cooperation between the two countries. But MMVZ also had other models. You can learn about them thanks to the author of the KrasMoto channel.
