So last weekend I got a chance to riffle through my score of Batavus
dealer manuals I won on Ebay. Here's what was inside:
Here's the awesome binder and some loose materials.
The set is mostly comprised of dealer price lists and communications
from the Batavus headquarters. I haven't gotten to read through it in
any real detail yet but there are some interesting bits. Inside there is
a large wiring diagram poster, M48 and M56 workshop manuals
and parts lists, Batavus service technician school notes for the
M48 and M56,...
... ads and clip art for the Batavus HS50, Regency, and Starflite,...
... accessories catalog featuring sweet Batavus jackets and tees,...
... scary / sexy sales brochure,...
... the Batavian and the defined origins of Batavus,...
... this amazing cover illustration of a mustachioed gent kicking back
on his lounge chair moped, smoking a cigar and watching tv.
I'll be filing through this stuff and archiving it somewhere on the internet
in digital form. If you need anything I'd be happy to scan it and send
you a .pdf. I also plan on vectorizing the clip art. Stay tuned for future
posts on this stuff.
Hey Mustachio! I just aquired a Batavus Regency Moped that I think has a M56 engine and am having trouble with the wiring diagram. Any chance in your 7lbs of goodness that you have one? It almost seems that the brake light bulb needs to be in place for the bike to work? Strange.
ReplyDeleteAlso, are you the same moustachio that participates in Moustache May every year??? If so I'm on there as Paragone --- cheers!
Mike,
ReplyDeleteI have a wiring diagram for the M56 engine. Here is one that is already on the web:

Sorry, I've never heard of Moustache May. Sounds interesting. Sorry it took me so long to see your comment. Hope this helps!
Holy crap that stuff is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCould you scan the pinups? The Mobat Vampiress deserves to be framed and on my wall.

Mr. Moustachio,
ReplyDeleteWell thanks for the link but unfortunately my bike doesn't have turn signals and the brake light wiring is all different. If you find a Regency wiring diagram without turn signals that would be awesome! thanks.
hey could you scan in the m48 manuals and school notes for me? It would be greatly appreciated
