Company History
Tomos mopeds carried generations across Europe and into the U.S., prized for tough engines, easy parts, and frugal appetite. The factory refined small two-strokes for decades, balancing emissions constraints with the lovable snap that makes a moped feel alive. Deliveries, school commutes, and beach towns ran on Tomos because shops could stock rings, clutches, and cables cheaply. Styling evolved gently—pressed-steel frames, practical racks, chain guards—while reliability improved through better ignition and coatings. Even after production shifts and contractions, the Tomos name remains shorthand for simple freedom: a machine you can fix on a kitchen table that turns errands into breezy rides. Historically, Tomos embodies mobility at human scale—independence powered by a small cylinder and a big parts bin.
