Origins
Origins

The first unit was put on sale in 1954, a 125cc model, emphasizing their functionality and quality of construction. Mechanical durability was ensured by the incorporation of Hispano-Villiers (Villiers manufactured under license in Spain) engines. With a conventional design, the make was highlighted by the robustness. During the first year the company produced only a hundred motorcycles, but in a short time the staff of employees exceeded the number of 100, to meet the demand. The JM model appeared in 1957, incorporating stamped sheet metal and four-speed gearbox. In 1959 the model Helix went on sale, with stamped metal construction again, and a protective grid on the rear fenders, probably to make it easier for women to sit aside on the motorcycle without the skirts been tangled with rear wheel. As a manufacturer of motorcycles, Cofersa activity ceased in 1962.
