presentation of the Power Free 1952
In 1952, Suzuki decided to launch a motorized two-wheeler. The start of a great adventure. The company's first creation was the Power Free. Not quite a motorcycle yet, but the brainchild of Shunzo Suzuki, son of the brand's founder.
After prospering in the loom sector, Suzuki had to diversify to survive, as the loom market was shrinking. Michio turned to his son, who came up with the idea of adding a motor to a bicycle - the winds of the region made it difficult to use a bicycle, and a motorized aid would be much appreciated. Suz designed its own 2-stroke engine, then installed it in the vehicle. The Power Free was born.
This first block cubed 36 cm3 and developed 1 horsepower. Transmission was by belt. This is not the only propulsion system, as the Power Free retains the pedals in case of engine failure. This moped was a huge success, launching Suzuki into a large-scale motorized dimension and a multitude of machines, some of which have become legendary. The Power Free was sold for 25,000 yen. By the following year, production had risen to 6,000 units per month.
