Turysta (prototype)
Constructors from Zakłady Metalowe in Wrocław - Zaikrzewo have developed a two-seater moped, which is a variant of the already produced serial Ryś MR1. The prototype of this vehicle called Turysta was exhibited at the XXVIII Poznań International Fair in 1959. The moped uses a two-seater bench seat, as well as a small trunk mounted on the rear mudguard. The rear suspension uses a reinforced central spring. The shape of the steering wheel was changed, which provided a better driving position. The other units of the moped came from Rysio. Serial production of this vehicle has not been undertaken.
