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.

Thanks for the photos and words of colleague Mgr. Jiří Nedvěd.
In the photo (Svět motorů) prototype Druzeta – driven by designer J. F. Koch, behind him J. Nedvěd, then chairman of the Prague Čezeta Club.
ČZ 501 001 – scooter from the first series, with waterproof Prim clock and metal ignition box. The rear fork had rubber-metal issues, and bodies often cracked.
After being shown at the motor show, the scooter wasn’t produced due to a shortage of deep-drawn sheet metal. Greetings from J. Nedvěd.
