Casal 50cc trail bike
When I was 16, in 1980, I bought a secondhand 50cc trail bike. It was
a Casal, the only one anyone else in the, mainly biker, village had ever
seen. It would easily do 55mph (on knobbly tyres!).
I never did find out exactly what model it was. Any suggestions?
I remade the seat cover in black vinyl, and resprayed the tank in hite
with a blue flash each side - from above it resembled an 'M'.
Some joker put beer in the tank one night. From that day on I had to
carry a hammer, screwdriver and piece of wire. Whenever it sputtered to
a halt I'd jump off, put the screwdriver on the card bowl, and whack it
with the hammer to spin it off, then stick the wire up the jet to clear
it. I got it down to about 60 seconds in the end!
I sold the bike on when I upgraded to my CB250K4 (which I am currently
restoring after 25 years in the garage).
I can't remember the reg number, but the paint job was fairly distinctive.
I wonder if it's still around?

Hi, first sorry about my english. i´ll try to be simply in my
words, for everyone understand.Im from Aveiro the town where CASAL was.
Casal its closed a few years back, theres still some casal motocycles running
everyday in the area of Aveiro. I know that when they closed all the spareparts
of casal carina(and i bet most of all models) they where burned. Today
is very dificult get spareparts for carina. Casal 2 and Casal 4 Boss and
one with 6 chances. its the more usual to see running here. so if someone
needs parts for this models, maybe i can get it. This is my e-mail: re_gafdanazmsn

Hope this info was usefull.

Casal Moped - re note submitted by Croxster
Hi Croxster
I know a bit about Casal, they were/are a Portuguese maker of small
motorcyles that really only blossomed in the UK from about 1972 to 77ish,
during the "Sixteener special" period.
I had one in 1973 when I was 16, a K190 4 speed 5.3bhp. It was
bigger than an FS1E and faster. My Uncle Bob Gollner had a bike shop
in Denmead near Portsmouth and I bought it new from him for £157.
Insurance was £4 a year fully comp!!
They also made a K196 which was a 2 speed with hand change gears and
only 2.5bhp, whereas the K190 was a 4 speed foor change, with pedals that
folded into footrests a bit like a Fizzy. The motor was a Zundapp
made under licence, with a Bing carburettor, and it ran on 2 stroke pre-mix.
Needed decoking every 2 weeks.
The cylinder was all-alloy with a chrome bore. The gearbox was clunky
and a bit weak, and I had a new gear selector under warranty. Apparently
this was a common fault.
The 2 models were replaced by the S2 and the SS4, which were really
just restyled from the K196 and K190.
They then bought out the Phantom 5 and the ST50 cross before disappearing
from the market.
I think the company is still alive - just, but is not producing bikes
and may be insolvent.
There is a bit about Casal in the book Funky Moped by Richard Skelton
www.velocebooks.com
I would dearly love to find my bike RHO99M, but the DVLA no longer have
any records on it, so I guess it has been scrapped, probably years ago.
I'd be interested to hear which model you have found; They were
rare when new, and alsmost extinct now.
Hope this is of interest.

1975 casal boss 50 cc 2-speed
hey guys. i just got as casal a few weeks ago. i got it off of one
of the kids in the subdivision. traded it for a old 340 skidoo. as far
as i can tell it is a 1975. i didn't get any papers for it. the vin is
there but the plaque on the bike where the year is,is not stamped.
the body is slighty rusty and the paint is scratched and faded but
it has only 631 kms.
the engine is mint, first kick and it starts and it run very good but
was hard to shift gears. i decides to take it for my first drive.
the engine is strong (as strong as a 50cc can be) but it needs work
on getting everything to work well.
when i went to shift down into first, something let go and i couldn't
get 1st gear anymore.
so i just took it apart tonite and the shifter rod that is behind the
clutch pack that run from the gears to the shifter forks is broke and the
forks are bent and broken.
guess i'm going to have to visit a machinist or gear up something at
my friends garage. also i noticed that the inner most clutch material is
broken up. i have some pics if anyone wants. my email is barthelotte4@hotmail.com.
i and going to redo the whole bike and plan on riding it in the spring.
i'm going to take pics on the whole rebuild so that i can create some
sort of data on these bike which are very hard to find info or pics of
off the web.
if anyone it interested you know how to get a hold of me.
thanks
andre
anyway.

Hello!
Here is some information about Metalurgia Casal of Portugal.
The factory started up in the 60:s by Famel-Zundapp-engineers. The first
models where very much like Zundapp, but after some time they make their
owns. The Casal was most used in Portugal, but a small part of them where
exported, for example to Sweden, UK, USA. I have one of them, model: K-190
SW 1980 B-Type, 4 speed. My Casal is just restored. Nowaday they are very
rare in all countries where they sold.
In Sweden Casal was sold between 1975-1986, by Svenska Cykel fabriken
in Lomma Sweden.
In the middle of 1990 the manufacturing was stopped of economic problems.
Since then its very hard to find any spare parts. Addemoto in Malmö
Sweden has a little store of parts for the Swedish model left, but soon
all is gone. some of the parts maybe fits other models.
I have heard that Famel and Casal will try to start up the manufacturing
again, but they are still waiting for EU-money.
If you need information about Casal you can send a e-mail.
Regards.
Magnus Ollas Sigtuna, Sweden.

I purchased a Casal 75cc trail bike new in 1974 for its size it was
quite quick but it would continually die in the wet (not very useful in
the uk) and would break engine mountings at an alarming rate, does anyone
have any info or literature on this extremely rare motorcycle I would especially
like to know more about the engine. thanks Malcolm Healey. --

Just thought I’d let you know I had a Casal SS4 moped bought new August
1975.
I could attain speeds of 60mph. It would spew out oil from the two stroke
mixture first thing in the morning.
The petrol fuel cap leaked all the time till I found another make that
fitted perfectly (Can’t remember which one. Oh and the clutch lever cable
started to fray, that was replaced quickly before it snapped.
The spark plugs had a tendency to oil up.
I did 7200 miles on it and after I got to know these niggle it never
let me down.
From what I can remember it had comparable performance to my mates Yamaha
FS1E moped.
I swapped it exactly a year later for a Honda CB 200

Casal was a Portuguese brand that manufactured small motorcycles and
some small agricultural equipment with two-stroke engines (I have an old
Casal catalogue that shows all the products, along with a parts schematics
book).
They also made the Carina, the only Portuguese scooter. I have recently
discovered and bought the Carina that was owned by my grandfather and have
started a Carina section in my Vespa website. Check it out at
http://horta.web.pt
, follow the Carina link.
I will soon update it with new photos and would like to exchange info
with other Carina owners as I only know Vespas. I do know that the rear
axle on the Carina tends to break often!! J

I have been looking on the net, about a scooter I have it s a 1960's
Casal Carina scooter... needs to be restored, but can't find parts.....
what I have found out was I think Casal made some engines for Zundapp in
Germany and that my scooter is a clone of the Zundapp r-50... so maybe
if you look at your model and then look at what Zundapp had at the time
maybe that documentation would be easier for you to find... --

Casal motocycles were somehow less snappy than the German counterparts.
I myself had a Sachs 50cc as a teenager. It was a 5 speed, two cycle engine.
It could attain a top speed of about 60 m.p.h. Casal motocycles seemed
also to be prone to develop gear problems. Otherwise, they went along just
fine. The last casal I saw was about 15 years ago. It was sporty and light.
It was a 6 speed 50cc that seemed to run like a 50 Honda: slow going up,
fast going down. -- Claudia Schweizer -- c1942

Hi,
I have just tried to reply to Carlos and Rita who placed a message
on your site, however it would appear their email is now not valid. I am
desperately trying to trace any information leads regarding the Casal.
My brother has just started to restore his 50cc and is really struggling
to find anything out about them, do you have a contact address for the
company? Or do you know anyone who has?? -- Please help!

I am from the US and I acquired a Casal carina s 170 scooter a year
ago or so I am trying to get everything set up so I can restore it... but
I am having problems locating parts or some one who knows anything about
it. I really need a schematic or something like that so I can do
it up right. It is a 1964 greenish casal carina scooter s170 I have
found that the zundapp r50 is the same scooter... but I would rather have
the parts from a Portuguese bike there are a few differences...badges and
the frontcast steer tube cover. If you can help I would appreciate
it. -- MFrye -- MFrye at studio3architects
Casal - in the present it's still the biggest constructor. The
engines that they build are two stroke with 50cc and a few 125cc for motorcross
bikes.
motorcycles with 2, 4, 5 and 6 gears. Casal is in recession now,
and it's going to be hard to survive.
