I’m in love! I like this as much as the Scooterrot, tho that one pulls sligggghtly ahead with it’s two-tone color: http://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/wp-admin/post.php?post=88205&action=edit
Do have a photo of this restored? And do you have it with its matching trailer?
What year is this?
What year was that built? Very nice.
I am in love with this thing too…
This Ceseta 502 was built in 1963. And Allee, you will be pleased to know that this Cezeta is now fully restored and is two-tone — cream on top, and burgundy on bottom. The PAV trailer has a matching paint job. It is a fascinating machine as it has electric start — unusual for a two-wheeled vehicle for 1963.
Cezetas were made by Jawa and an important source of foreign currency for the Czech government during the cold war. The engineering is very good and robust and the ride very comfortable. In Eastern Europe during the cold war the waiting list for a Trabant care might be years but a young family might get a Cezeta in just a few months. So it was common for young families to get a Cezeta and a PAV trailer and tour Eastern Europe for summer holidays.
Love learning about this. I”m starting at zero on the subject but love these bikes of yours.
Pleeeease post photos of the paint jobbed, fully restored beauty.
~I am hunting around for a photo of the repainted Cezeta but running short on time. I fly out to California on Thursday and have lots to do….
The only thing i could find is a small video shot when the restoration was going on. In the beginning of the video you can see the PAV on the shelf..
