LMZ MP-043

Мопед МП-043

MP-043 is the first two-speed moped created at the Lviv Motorcycle Plant (LMZ) in 1967. It is unified with the scooter MV-044 in terms of the undercarriage, and with the “Riga-3” in terms of wheels and engine. The Kovrov Plant established production of engines for it.

The moped was developed in 1966. After successful road tests in Serpukhov, it was recommended for serial production.

The moped was conceived as an intermediate model between the “Verkhovyna” moped and more modern analogues. However, the MP-043 was never put into production.
