On a Japanese page, this appears to be branded as American Moped, according to the engine cases. It's probably Chinese, as the engine is a copy of a Honda.



From somewhere in South America.

Edit: Vilar were Portuguese and were successful for a few years, so it's probably in Brazil.

From Japan again, a Suzuki Mini Free, "in it's own juice", as the French say. I think this one's gone off.

They don't make the Krasny Oktobr any more, so that means they don't make the mopeds that used them. Sort of Riga Mortis.
