Company History
Voskhod motorcycles were utilitarian tools: rugged two-stroke singles designed for rough roads, simple maintenance, and sidecar compatibility in some variants. They prioritized ease of repair with basic tools, generous clearances, and parts commonality. Paint and finish were functional rather than flashy, but the bikes started in winter and hauled people and goods through long shortages. In the post-Soviet era they became symbols of a time when mobility meant self-reliance and mechanical literacy, and when a motorcycle’s worth was measured in kilometers of work accomplished.
