different details, but using the same engines. Stayed in production until
late 1962, with front fork with rubber bellows. Then in 1964 same bike

1966.
Progress
-61, 191cc Sachs, 2-stroke single, 160kilo
Tempo tried to introduce a scooter, called the Progress, which came
from the Germany progress- werke, but it was a little too heavy and came
too late to catch the scooter-wave. The project finally died in 1961, even
though some were sold. The progress had a 191cc Sachs engine with
dynastart, 18" wheels and a weight of 160 kilos. |
