Montesa Cota 49 trials
Moped; being sold as a restoration project; The vendor informs us that the bike

paperwork
The Montesa Cota 49 is a
lightweight, almost full-sized mountain moped intended for 16-year-old riders,
rather than a miniature trials motorcycle. Similar in concept to other mopeds
designed to comply with legislation requiring pedal propulsion, the Cota 49
features a shaft running through the engine cases, originally accommodating
bicycle pedals on either side. On this example, only one pedal remains,
reportedly serving as a kick-start.
Powered by a 49cc two-stroke,
single-cylinder engine with Dell’Orto carburettor, three-speed manual gearbox
and clutch, the Cota 49 offers an interesting alternative to conventional
vintage mopeds.
The vendor informs us that the machine was running a few
months ago, although we have not attempted to start it since its arrival on
site. It is offered as a restoration project and will require inspection and
recommissioning before use.
Please note that the bike is offered without
paperwork.
