FROM LATVIA

comes this moped, a new Soviet construction with 1.6 HP engine, which is built in the Riga bicycle factory "Sarkana Swaigsne".

It got its name "Spiriditis" after the name of the hero of a Latvian folk tale.

Moped model "Spriditis" (sometimes spelled Spiriditis), which was the very first moped prototype from the Latvian factory Sarkana Zvaigzne (Red Star) in Riga. "Spriditis" was developed in 1958 in the then Latvian SSR as a response to the need for a new, lightweight means of transport that combined the features of both motorcycles and bicycles.

"Spriditis" is the name of the hero (equivalent to "Thumbelina") in a famous Latvian folk tale written by Anna Brigadere.

"Spriditis" was equipped with a 1.6 hp engine and had an engine displacement of 60 cm³. It weighed about 45 kg and retained pedals so that it could be used as a bicycle if necessary. The Spriditis was an experimental model. The experience from this later led to the development of the more successful and mass-produced Riga-1, which began production around 1960–1961.

The Sarkana Zvaigzne factory later became one of the largest moped manufacturers in the Soviet Union, producing the famous "Riga" series until the late 1990s.

Rīgas Rūpnīca (Riga Motorcycle Factory) in Latvia.

The Gauja, also known as Riga-2, was manufactured between 1961 and 1966 (1963?).

It was the first mass-produced motorized bicycle from the Riga factory. It had a rigid tubular frame, a bicycle-type pedal mechanism, and a pendulum front fork with spring shock absorbers. It was equipped with a single-cylinder two-stroke engine (models D-4 or D-5) of about 1 horsepower.

Factory "Sarkana Zvaigzne" the name means "Red Star" in Latvian. The factory was located at Lenina 193 in Riga, which is also visible at the bottom left of the picture. Originally it was the Gustavs Ērenpreiss bicycle factory (founded in 1927), but it was nationalized in 1940 after the Soviet occupation of Latvia. During its heyday, it was the largest moped manufacturer in the Soviet Union. The factory finally closed in 1998 after demand dropped dramatically after Latvia's independence.

Motorized bicycles and mopeds are the simplest, most comfortable, and

most economical motor vehicles.

The "Riga-1" moped is suitable for business and private use, as well as for

long-distance journeys in all climatic and road conditions.

Soft suspension of the wheels and good protection against road wear give

the moped exceptional riding comfort both in city traffic and on long journeys.

Operating the moped is simple and easily mastered by beginners.

The powerful engine and two-speed gearbox make it possible to develop

high speeds and conquer significant inclines.

Riga-1, the first mass-produced two-speed moped from the legendary Latvian factory Sarkanā Zvaigzne (Red Star) in Riga.

The Riga-1 began mass production in 1961 after extensive testing, with prototypes driven over 10,000 km in 50 days across large parts of the then Soviet Union. The factory, originally the Gustavs Ērenpreis bicycle factory, became the largest moped manufacturer in the region during the Soviet era.

The earliest models of the Riga-1 used engines from the Czechoslovakian Jawa (model 552), which contributed to the moped's popularity due to their reliability.

Engine is a 1-cylinder, 49.8 cc Jawa 552 cirka 1.5 to 1.6 horsepower.

Top speed: 40 km/h. Weight: 45 kg. Transmission: 2 gears with manual transmission
