Hi!
To get my Motom 98TS (or 98 T) registered in Sweden I need information (paper-copies) based on the producer of the Motom with chassie ID A*1929* and Engine ID A*1821*.
Do you have any idea how to get a contact for an investigation of the history of this motorbike?
Br Johnny E Perhaps contact one of the Swedish clubs, and also try the page on Moped Resources which lists a Swedish site - The 98TS is not a moped, but many other models were.

My sistrer just now shipped Motom to me in Ottawa, Canada It's totally stripped and the frame has been sanblasted and primed. I want to restore it to a "T" but I don't know much about it

Many Italian machines have the star - an asterisk, I think it is - but I don't know the purpose. It is often at both ends of the number. Ed.

Hutchinson Mnnesota

The ebay item number is 4611003726. I bought it. Is there not a direct link to the Company?

Motom ceased manufacture in 1964. There is no site for the company. Ed.

1957 MOTOM 60S at Ebay
Vehicle Description
 I am offering for sale an interesting MOTOM 60S that has been part of my 20 year collection of Italian motorcycles in Los Angeles. This model is a fairly rare derivation of the more common MOTOM 48 moped. The original 48 came with pedals which classifies it as a moped. The 60S was made as a proper little motorcycle and for some weird reason, known only to the factory engineers, had the cubic capacity increased to 51cc. This was done by fitting a different and quite bigger cylinder and thereby calling it the 60S , although the engine capacity actually works out to 51cc.

Overhead valve 4 stroke. 3 speed foot change. A proper little "Thumper" in good running condition once you have mastered the strange starting procedure! There are a few electrical glitches that I have not attempted to fix as I am hopeless with wiring. The aluminum chain case is cracked and poorly repaired (see photo) but this part is held on by 3 screws and Motom parts are still available in Italy. Sold new without speedo so actual mileage is unknown. Sold with Bill of Sale only...
