Casalini Sulky SP50 | Fahrzeugportrait und Einführung 

Diese Bauform ist nicht mal so arg ungewöhnlich, bis in die 80er Jahre gab es das bei etlichen Autos so. Alternativ dazu gab es die Version, die den Luftdruck des Reservereifens zum Antrieb nutzt. Gerne genommen beim VW Käfer und mit einem durchaus signifikanten Designfehler ;)

und wenn die Luft raus ist, dann geht die Waschanlage nicht mehr und man sieht nichts mehr. Bevorzugt bei winterlichen Nachtfahrten auf der Autobahn bzw. Schnellstraße. Ich hab unseren Käfer deshalb zweimal fast in den Graben gefahren.

Müstest dir auch mal holen würden sicher viele feiern😆😆

Denke auch drüber nach...wie schnell ist er denn?

Fußraum und der Radkasten für das Vorderrad.

Nein, das ist nur der Platz für Beine und Vorderrad.

@@rollerchaos Ah okay! Trotzdem ein praktisches Fahrzeug.

FIN ist, zumindest bei diesem Exemplar hier, an der Spritzwand rechts im Beinraum eingeschlagen. In Deutschland braucht man selbstverständlich eine hier gültige Betriebserlaubnis.

There where versions with cvt (variomatic) transmission. To my knowledge those where availibley as steering wheel and handel bar alike, but they where fittet with Morini two stroke or a small diesel engine. The diesel version seem to bee more common, at least here in Germany. I never heard of a Piaggio powered Sulky with automatic transmision, even if this would be possible by the use of the engine out of a Vespa PK Automatica. But I think that the use of the Morini engine (which also was availibe with manual gearing in early Sulkys) was chosen for simplicity of use of existing components. There also was a four wheeled version that as far as I know was availible only with cvt and the diesel. Those automatic geared models are very late production and some sort of transition point to modern style microcars.

Ok, thanks for the info. I might be able to get my hands on one that I suspect has CVT transmission. I didn´t get to have a close look on it. Was there to look at an old moped, but the three wheeler was suddenly more interesting. I wished for one when I was 14-15 years old. They were given to elderly or disabled people here in Norway by social services and around 2000 they were taken in return and I was witness to several getting scrapped around that time. Would be cool to own one.

It is a 1990 vintage. Sat still probably since 1997 or some years before that, since the owner got too old to drive. Do you know what type/model Morini engine is in them? There is very little information out there. Wonder if there are any chances of tuning the engine or cvt a little bit.

The Morini engine used in the Sulky is to my knowledge a type M50. Those where used in a wide veriaty of vehicles over a very long time. In Italy most parts are availible, eBay should be a good source for those. I never tried to improve such a vehicle and I would not recomend doing so. Since parts are hard to come by the risk of damage in my opinon is to high. If the vehicle sat for for a long period I would also recomend a very carefull and sensitive aproche for it's recomisioning. Two stroke engines are very sensitive to damage throug disuse. They tend to rust from the inside in the worst case. They also suffer often from perished seals which can lead to problems. Therefore I would recomend to be very carefull and thorrowly inspect the vehicle before even trying to start the motor.

Thanks for the advice. If I get the hands on it, I know it has been kept in a dry and nice place, so I hope the engine is still ok. The brakes are out of function, master cylinder was stuck than dismantled, they told me.

Wie groß der Tank ist weiß ich nicht, aber es dürften kaum 10l sein. Vom Volumen her ist das eher einem großen Rollertank vergleichbar, also irgendwas zwischen 6 und 8 Litern. Der Motor ist identisch zu dem der Ape 50, dazu finden sich im Internet eigentlich alle nötigen Informationen. Auch WHB sind gut verfügbar.

Und wer soll da sitzen können? Ein Säugling? 😉 Das klappt rein aus Platzgründen nicht.

@@rollerchaos aber man dürfte es oder?

@@Felix-fy7ki beruhig dich halt Mal, als ob man nicht Mal mehr was fragen darf😂

Nein, das ist entweder an oder aus.

Depends on what you are looking for.

@@rollerchaos Blinkers :)

Those are standard off the shelf parts used by many lorries and agricultures vehicles. Casalini originaly used ones made by Hella, but they are available from other companies too. Basicly every tractor service garage should be able to suply them. The same with all other lights on the SP50 but the head lamps. Those are the same as the Piaggio Ape modells with two head lamps.

@@rollerchaos Thanks for letting me know. :)
