Piatti
Piatti were scooters designed by Vincenzo Piatti and produced from 1956 to 1958.
It was a curious-looking machine with the mechanics hidden under the body, so that service was carried out with it laid on its side. It had a 124cc two-stroke engine and three-speed gearbox in-unit with the rear wheel. The assembly pivoted to provide the rear suspensiion and went under the pressed-steel frame of inverted-bath form.
This short-lived make was built and sold in the UK by Cyclemaster.
