ČZ scooters
Czech scooters are an inseparable part of the 1950s–1970s – a period when they were a common sight on every street. After 1989, scooters and motorcycles returned to everyday transport, once again symbolizing freedom and style. These machines remind us of the era when Czech design and engineering stood proudly on the world stage.
