1959 Čezeta 501 motorcycle
The scooter returned to our roads in the second half of the 1950's. It was now a vehicle designed with maximum emphasis on practicality and comfort, intended for everyday use. After the arrival of the scooter it seemed to many that the bell was tolling for the traditional motorcycle. However, development showed that the motorcycle did have a future. But it changed from being a means of transport to being a means for recreation and spending free time. The production of Čezeta scooters was discontinued in 1964.
