Product Description : Round Babetta Moped Bystrice Motorbike Pin Badge

Before I do my usual spiel about this badge I would like to turn your attention to the Jawa Moped Web Page a really professional looking enthusiasts site that has so much information you'll be reading for ages.

Much like CZ bikes, Babetta were formed from an armaments concern. In 1948 the market for guns was virtually finished and Povazske Strojarne turned their armaments concern into a motorbike concern.

PS sought a partnership with Jawa and in the 1950s produced their first bike the Manet. Then in the 1970s they produced the Babetta, a pedal started one speed motorscooter which proved to be very reliable and as a marketing exercise they drove them around the world and through very hostile terrain such as the sahara desert.



In 1972 using the name JAWA, the bikes with a 90cc disc valve engine won many prizes while taking part in the ISDT which took place that year in the United States. This success made the machines virtually famous over night, and created healthy export orders for Jawa 90, Jawa 90 Cross and Roadsters. These models while having been developed by JAWA in Prague, were manufactured by PS.



This pin badge is 1.5cm in diameter and has a stick pin fastener. The pin is a little different to the usual designs, it has the original 1950s logo in the centre but unusually displays the babetta model. and the name Povazske Strojarne and the town where they were manufactured in Czechoslovakia, Bystrice.
