Motorbikes
[edit | edit source]
In the 1970s they produced the offroad motorbike Moto Zodiaco Tuareg. With large balloon tyres it was intended as a dune buggy.
The Moto Zodiaco was powered by a two-stroke single cylinder 227cc motor with 20bhp, (normally found in snowmobiles) and a pulley transmission (normally found in tractors).[3] The top speed was around 100 km/h.
The bike had a yank cord start but an electric starter was optional. It was available in colors: sunshine yellow, alpine white and red Verona.
All Cars
[edit | edit source]In 1978 Autozodiaco sold the rights to construct a three-wheel micro car, renamed the All Cars Charly. It was similar in appearance to the Bond Bug and was powered by a 49cc moped engine.[4]
