Manurhin SM75 Scooter

The 1950s Manurhin SM75 is a rare French scooter that embodies postwar innovation and mid-century elegance, nearly impossible to find in the U.S. today. Produced by Manurhin—originally a precision arms manufacturer turned scooter pioneer—the SM75 was based on the German DKW Hobby and reengineered with French components, quickly rising to prominence as one of Europe’s top scooters. Its streamlined silhouette, powder-coated finish, and advanced belt-driven variator transmission offered a smooth, gearless ride well ahead of its time. With whitewall tires, pastel hues, and sculptural curves, the SM75 is both a design statement and a mechanical marvel, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of history, rarity, and refined craftsmanship.
