You’ve seen the cars that are in Cuba. It’s like a time machine. Well, same goes for their scooters apparently. Check out this mustard-n-ketchup Czeta with sidecar.
When I see a Czeta, I don’t know whether to shutter in disgust or give it a big hug. Gloriously ugly.
Thanks to snapawayyoungman for sharing!

Hi, it is historic from Czech.
ČZ 175 type 502 Čezeta made in years 1960 – 1964. This bike was popular and had nickname “PIG”. It has engine from Jawa-ČZ 175 “kejvačka”.
Czechoslovakia was under comunism (1948-1989) so a lot of their motorbikes were exported to other comunism states as Cuba.

Cool Krata! Thanks for the brief history lesson. Sounds like you’re the local ČZ expert!

You guess right Steve!
I´m czech motorcycle fans. But I ride on Japan motorcycle :-)
I am sorry to say, but classic czech motorcycles brands (Jawa, ČZ and Praga finished with production bikes) don’t have money on develop new motorcycles. So they present bikes are strange as china licence bike (Jawa).
Now the famous czech manufacture on motorcycles is only Blata with their minibikes.

Hrm… The Blata minimotard is kinda cool, but the Jawa is NO Cezeta! It’s sad to see the outlandish designs disappear only to be replaced by something bland.
