The Jawa 50 type 555 was a model of the Pionýr series, which was produced by Jawa in Bystrica . She was a disguised moped with two-stroke - single cylinder engine . Sometimes it was delivered with a knee plate and running boards. The first Pionýr - Type 550 was produced from 1955 and was replaced in 1958 by the Type 555, which was produced in a number of 327,323 until 1963, before the two-seater successor type 05 appeared in 1962 . The Jawa 555 was exported to the GDR , among others .

technical description

The Jawa 555 was presented in the GDR at the Leipzig spring fair in 1958. Was maintained the lie, airstream cooled two-stroke - single cylinder engine , whose power has been increased from 1.6 to 2.2 HP which is primarily the attainable speed zugutekam, was now 60 km / h. Like the 550 type, the Jawa 555 was also a mokick with a foot-shifted three-speed gearbox. The square tube frame had outriggers to the rear, on which the (undamped) coil springs of the rear swing arm were supported and the seat and trim were held. The latter was more extensive than the previous type. The brakes have also been improved, now with a full hub design. The type 555 was mostly painted in the typical Jawa red.

properties

In the driving report of the KFT , the unfavorable gear ratio with a "hole" between second and third gear was criticized. On the other hand, a remarkable top speed of 60 km / h was achieved. The rear wheel suspension was found to be hard. Deviating from the manufacturer's specification, the average fuel consumption was 2.5 l / 100 km. The design of the Jawa 555 was praised as being successful.

New Pionýr

In 2006, the Pionýr 555 was re-released in a retro version limited to 555 copies in an almost unchanged external form. The Retro-Pionýr was also produced in series as a two-seater and some visual changes. A version with 125 cm³ was even derived from it.
