A Brief History of the Italian Marque
Mopeds built at Via Menghini, 8, Budrio, near Bologna.
Manufactured by Odino Macchi Ciclomotor
An example pictured at mondo50cc.forumfree.it showed a lightweight two-stroke of probably 50cc sans pedale with small mag wheels. Another at subito.it is described as "...tubone prototype college Cambridge oemmeci o. M. C. Omc minarelli 4-speed from 1978" has conventional wire wheels, no pedals, vertical two-stroke engine, telescopic forks and swing-arm rear.
Oemmeci mopeds were built using Minarelli engines.
