In the first place is the Cimera scooter, an eccentric and unique scooter from Valencia, Spain, made by a manufacturer founded by Don José Bolinches Bacete, an industrial from Valencia Spain.

It is known, how's he can founded the company to produce several microcars to scooters, it thanks to his initial bussines to export fruits, especially oranges, from Valencia to Belgium.

In the course of his business it turned out that Don José Bolinches encountered many obstacles in Spain so that the bureaucrats at that time did not give any permission to his company to make four-wheeled vehicles. Over the time, in the 1950s he succeeded in making several three-wheeled microcars and scooters.

The figure of the Cimera scooter made between 1952 - 1955 can be said to be an eccentric scooter because it has an unusual front shield shape that was not possessed by other scooters at that time. Then the Cimera scooter uses a 250cc 4-stroke engine combined with a 2 speed automatic transmission system for 2 riding conditions, normal and special such as during storms and heavy rains.

Besides producing two models of the Cimera scooter, it was also noted that the Don José Bolinches company had also built a scooter with the Boli brand in 1951. This scooter turned out to have a very special meaning. Because the scooter that was born in the dominant color of chrome with dark blue and gray paint accents was built special for his beloved wife. Ooh.. so sweet! But unfortunately manufacture ceased in 1955.

2. Montesa Fura (Ferret)

Then there is also a scooter made by a company from Barcelona, Catalonia called Montesa. Although only 2 units were made as prototypes in 1958. The idea behind making this scooter came from Pedro Permanyer, the company co-founders (with Francisco Bultó). At first he asked Bultó to design a basic scooter, but then instructed another company's engineer, Leoplodo Milá to complete it.
