Founded in Bologna in 1937 by Gemma Parrini, and named for her husband Marco Cimatti (1913-1982), a champion cyclist. The firm initially produced only bicycles.
Built lightweight motorcycles, scooters and mopeds commencing in 1951 using engines from Franco Morini and Minarelli, and later Garelli. They also used Bauer 250, Demm 125, F.B.M. 160 2-stroke and 175 4-stroke engines, along with those of HMW.
Cimatti was very active in competition trials in the 1960s, with several successes in the Italian 50cc championships. During this period the firm expanded, moving to new facilities in Pioppe di Salvaro, 20km south of Bologna.
Enrico, their son, joined the firm and helped expand the market to France, Scandinavia, Tunisia and the United States. In 1972 Enrico Cimatti became the sole director of the company and it was subsequently renamed to Cimatti Enrico S.P.A.
Sales in the US were quite strong with machines marketed as City-Bike and Town-Bike by Gambles Hardware Stores.
Production ceased in 1984.

The massive flockup that is Brexit brought about, as evidence suggests,

You'll need to take it to a bikeshop to get it running, I expect, but there is quite likely very little wrong with it as it appears to be in fine condition. Yes, you would have no trouble selling it, but I cannot put a value on it.

Fuel Mixture
1977 Cimatti 50cc City Bike
Anyone know what the fuel mix ratio is on these 2-cycle bikes?
Conneaut, OH USA
Modern Minarelli engines use a 50:1 mixture, according to http://www.scooter-freaks.nl/persoscoots/viewperso.php?id=4448
Earlier models almost certainly use a higher ratio - I would guess that a 25:1 ratio would be a good starting point, and you could certainly go leaner with a synthetic oil.

I bought a brand new red Cimatti city bike in Santa Cruz, CA in 1978, right at the beginning of the moped craze. Tricked it out with the aux. gas tank that made it look more like a real motor bike. I had test driven many bikes and thought
the Cimatti had the best combo of price, looks and reliability. Heavy as hell, though. It rode much better then a Puch, had hardly any vibration. I rode that thing into the ground, had lots of fun. It finally conked out after 2800
miles or so. I Left it parked in a crawl space under a house in Santa Barbara in 1983, it may still be there. It was a great bike, wish I still had it. -- E Payton, Goleta CA -- espayton at impulse.net

I was young when we got a Cimatti but I still learned to ride on it. My uncle who was in the Merchant Marines brought back several bikes from over seas new in the boxes, some Cimatti 50's that were cool they had twin pipes! and
ours the Cimatti 100 two stroke single street bike. Looking back the bike did pretty well considering we had to make our own parts or go with out it. I know I rode it many miles without any oil in the lower end due to the clutch
slipping and it never did have a trans problem!
I killed the bike learning how to work on it when I really didn't know what I was doing, and also making trails in the back 40 and riding MX on a streetbike.
When this bike was new it was a sharp looking bike deep burgundy and white. Now that I've grown up I own and operate a motorcycle shop and it all started on a Cimatti.
No special info here just came across your site and wanted to post about the good times I had.

I recently purchased a cimatti city bike -- moped -- (in very nice mechanical and appearance condition) at a garage sale. Starts and runs well, top speed seems to be about 30-35 mph-- the speedometer is not working. I hope it stays running
well since I really don't know where I might find parts or labor. If anyone comes across more information on this machine, I'd appreciate your sharing it with me. Thanks. -- Ralph Tarnasky -- tarnasky at

have any ideas' please e-mail me in return...thank you -- Bryan -- Latersk8or at aol dot com

My first bike was a 1967 Cimatti 160cc 2 stroke scrambler, made in Italy and distributed by Gambles Hardware Stores, if anyone ever comes across one I would love to get one to restore. -- Guzzi -- guzzi at
