Company History
Puch carried postwar Europe on small-displacement two wheels. The Maxi and its siblings defined the moped archetype: frugal, repairable, and tough enough for daily commutes in all weather. Puch’s engineering culture—clean castings, careful tolerances, and honest documentation—made its engines favorites for tuners and fleet mechanics alike. In sports, Puch dabbled in off-road and road racing, feeding lessons back into durable frames and improved ignitions. As car access grew and emissions tightened, the brand’s motorcycle presence faded and its name shifted across corporate structures, yet the bikes endure in clubs and courier fleets. Historically, Puch symbolizes mobility-as-infrastructure: machines that start after winter, accept roadside fixes, and turn long bus waits into short, dependable rides. A tidy Maxi still represents independence at a human scale.
