Iso Isoscooter, 1952, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All the factories that survived WWII, after the military orders stopped, had to radically<\/strong> reorganize their production.
\nDespite the competition, one of the most restless sectors was the cheap mobility<\/strong> one: these are the years when Piaggio<\/strong> launched the Vespa<\/strong><\/a> and Innocenti<\/strong> the Lambretta<\/a>.
\n<\/strong>Isothermos,<\/strong> heater and refrigerator maker, was not long in coming and started studying its scooter, called the Furetto,<\/em> that did not reach the performance expected though, being replaced in 1949<\/strong> by a new project, the Iso 125,<\/strong> commonly known as Isoscooter.
\n<\/strong>It was powered by a split-single cylinder engine <\/strong>inspired by Puch<\/strong><\/a>, 125 cc<\/strong> of displacement, that produced 7 hp,<\/strong> a higher power output than the rivals.
\nHigher was the price too, reaching 175.000<\/strong> lire, a number that did not stop the commercial success of the Isoscooter. A “naked” version was also made, without fairing, called Isomoto.
\n<\/em>In 1952<\/strong> the company name changed into Iso Autoveicoli SPA<\/strong> for the imminent launch of the new\u00a0Isetta<\/strong><\/a>, microcar that didn’t have much success in Italy but it will in Germany, built under license by BMW.
\n<\/strong>In 1957<\/strong> the production of motorcycles and microcars stopped to focus on the new production of GT cars<\/strong><\/a> with the Iso Rivolta<\/strong> brand.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
