The Jawetta was introduced in 1958 but at that stage was called just the “Jawa Moped” and was designated model 551. This model was actually a Jawa product made at the Jawa factory in Prague, making it the only true Jawa moped. It was produced until 1962.
As some of the adverts show, the Jawetta was sold along side the Pionyr. The Pionyr, which didn’t have pedals, was marketed as a lightweight motorcycle. The Jawetta, with pedals, was a moped being “more suitable for women and juveniles” - their words, not mine. Although both had similar 49.8cc engines, the Pionyr had 2.2HP with a 3 speed gear box against the Jawetta’s 1.5HP & 2 speed box.. |
