Vintage bikes given new lease of life in Da Lat

Vintage bikes given new lease of life in Da Lat

The Central Highlands resort town of Da Lat is offering a glimpse into the past with an exhibition of 20 antique scooters and mopeds.

Visitors can find various kinds of scooters, made between 1946 and 1960, which were once popular in Vietnam.

One of the spectacular models on display is a VeloSolex moped, built by Velosolex America about 60 years ago.

The bike resembles a bicycle with an engine at its front wheel.

One of the organizers, Nguyen Cao Son, said guests also loved seeing the unique Maico-Mobil scooter, produced by German manufacturer Maicowerk A.G. in the 1950s.

From the front, the scooter looks like a plane. It used to be called the “two-wheeled car” and is now only sold in small numbers in Europe.

The vehicles are some of the 100 antique bikes that belong to the Da Lat Scooter Club, Son said.

The exhibition will continue until January 2 at Blue Moon Hotel, 4 Phan Boi Chau Street.
