The moped is a domestic development of the V. A. Degtyarev plant. This lightweight sports road motorcycle (enduro) managed to gain respect not only among many novice motorcyclists, but also among hunting and fishing enthusiasts.
The unpretentious “Mokik” Zid 50 Pilot is designed quite simply. We can say, according to the principle, the simpler it is, the less it breaks. Conventional 50 cc air-cooled engine, front and rear drum brakes, starting system - kickstarter handle.
Despite its simple design, the ZID 50 Pilot moped shows pretty good results on any road surface. Light weight and high ground clearance enable its owner to move over various obstacles and curbs without experiencing any difficulties. Low-maintenance 50cc engine. See is gaining momentum quite quickly, but under one condition: ride it alone. Maximum load 100 kg. makes itself felt.
The ZID plant engineers did not stop at developing this version of the motorcycle. Based on the Zid 50 moped, a cargo version called mokik ZID 50 02 cargo
and
moped Zid Lifan
.
This plant also produced (currently discontinued) another version of the motorcycle - ZID 50 Active
, the main difference between this moped and the Pilot is the oval plastic fairings. We will talk about these models in more detail in the following articles.
Not to say anything about tuning the Russian moped Zid 50 Pilot. Almost any part of this motorcycle can be improved, from boosting the engine to replacing the brakes. Therefore, the maximum speed recommended by the manufacturer of 50 kilometers per hour can easily be increased to 80-90 km/h without much damage to the engine. Fortunately, our engineers provided us with such an opportunity. But is it worth doing this when you can buy something more powerful, for example, from the 125cc or 125cc motorcycle category? Only you decide! But the fact that at the moment in Russia you do not need to have a license to drive motorcycles and mopeds speaks for itself.
On the Internet you can find many interesting articles on tuning this model, which will allow you not only to add a couple of horsepower to your “iron horse”, but also to achieve a more comfortable and safe ride.

Plant named after V. Degtyarev, better known to us as ZiD, was founded during the First World War. It was then that the first buildings of the Kovrov Machine Gun Plant began to be erected in Kirov. Many years later, in 1946, he began producing motorcycles. Many probably remember the legendary K-125, Kovrovets and, of course, Voskhod. And the very first small-capacity motorcycle from the Kovrov plant came off the line only in the nineties of the last century. It was a ZiD-50 Pilot model.

For services to the development of Russian motorcycle production JSC "Plant named after. V.A. Degtyarev" was repeatedly awarded diplomas and memorable prizes at Russian and international exhibitions. "ZiD-50-Pilot" in 1999–2000. became a bestseller in the Russian market and, based on the results of 2001, was included in the top 100 best products in Russia.
The first swallow
The ZiD-50 “Pilot”, which appeared on domestic roads in 1995, became the first moped of this plant. And four years later, another batch with a raised wing in front was released in Kirov. It was called "Active". And although it was, like the Pilot, two-stroke, there was a significant difference: it differed from its ancestor in the presence of an original plastic body kit in the style of cruisers. In 2004, this version was slightly improved by creating the ZiD-50-01, which was equipped with a four-stroke Chinese Lifan engine with a power of 2.72 horsepower.
It is noteworthy that this model used a semi-automatic clutch, as a result of which its handle disappeared. Like the ZiD-50 “Pilot” moped, it was also intended for tourist and business trips. The vehicle was also suitable for walking on a variety of surfaces.
History of Zid-50 mopeds
History of the Plant named after V.A. Degtyarev (ZID) in the city of Kovrov began during the First World War: on August 27, 1916, the construction of the first buildings of the Kovrov machine gun plant began. In 1946, the first K-125 motorcycles began to be produced in Kovrov, and in the 50s - “Kovrovets” and “Voskhod”. Well, the plant’s first small-capacity motorcycle appeared only in the 90s.ZID 50 Pilot (1995-present)
ZID 50 Pilot became the first moped of the plant. It first appeared in 1995 and was equipped with a 3.5 hp 50 cc 2-stroke engine. It developed 50 km/h and consumed 2.2 l/100 km at a speed of 30 km/h. The small moped weighing 76 kg had a three-speed gearbox combined into one unit with the engine. In 1999, a batch of mopeds with a raised front fender was released. In 2004, an improved version of the ZiD-50-01 appeared with a 4-stroke Chinese Lifan engine producing 2.72 hp. Interestingly, they used a semi-automatic clutch, so the clutch handle disappeared.
ZID 50 Cargo (ZDK-2.404) (1995-present)
In addition to the two-wheeled moped ZID 50 Pilot, they also produced a three-wheeled cargo model ZDK-2.404. It received the same 50 cc 3.5 hp two-stroke single-cylinder engine, but its top speed reached only 40 km/h. Fuel consumption – 3 l/100 km at a speed of 30 km/h. Weight – 112 kg. In 2004, the ZID 50-02 version appeared with a 4-stroke Chinese Lifan engine with a power of 2.72 hp. Moreover, such a moped could be supplemented with a rear differential.
ZID 50-01 Active (since 2000)
In 2000, another version of the ZID 50 model appeared, which was called “Active”. It was equipped with the same 2-stroke ZDK-50 engine, and its main difference was the original cruiser-style plastic body kit. In 2004, simultaneously with the ZID 50 Pilot, the Active received a Chinese 4-stroke Lifan engine.
ZID 50-05
More recently, the Degtyarev plant began producing a licensed copy of the Chinese Lifan moped under the ZID 50-05 brand. The lightweight and extremely cheap moped is equipped with a 4-stroke air-cooled LIFAN, 1P39FMA carburetor engine. The same is installed on all other models of the “50” family. The two-seater scooter weighs only 82 kg.
ZiD-36 “Bird” (1997-2001)
In 1997, the plant presented its new development - a tiny folding mokik ZID 36 Ptah. Its folding steering wheel and lowering seat made it possible to transport it in a regular passenger car and store it on the balcony. In 2001, the plant began serial production of Ptakh. It was equipped with a ZDK-36 engine with a displacement of only 36 cm3 and a power of 1.5 hp. Maximum speed – 35 km/h, fuel consumption – 2.8 l/100 km. The gearbox is two-speed with foot shift. The bird weighed only 35 kg. Overall dimensions - 1400x650x1100 (950) mm. Despite the interesting design, Ptah turned out to be economically unprofitable, and production was discontinued in 2007.
ZID 50 "Arkan" (ZDK-2.501) (2000-2003)
In 2000, the Kovrov plant produced its first scooter, the ZID 50 Arkan. He immediately became a sensation at all Russian and even international exhibitions. “Arkan” was made on the already proven chassis of the ZiD 50 Pilot moped, which has already become a bestseller on the Russian market. The scooter absorbed all the most innovative things that were available at the factory at that time: a battery, an electric starter, a neutral indicator, a fuel level indicator and an insufficient oil indicator. An important detail is the separate lubrication system, which simplifies refilling. There was one “but” that distinguished the Arkan from its foreign analogues: the gearbox here was also from the Pilot, i.e. three-speed manual, not a CVT, as on all foreign models. In the spring of 2001, the plant produced the first pilot batch of mini-rollers in the amount of 50 pieces. But the moped went... In total, until 2003, no more than a thousand of these machines were produced. "Arkan" and Vyatsko-Polyansky "Strizh", although they were cheaper than new foreign roller skates, were not in demand. And the main reason was precisely the lack of a variator in the design of scooters.
Conceptual models
ZID Alpha-50
In the early 90s, plant engineers began to think about replacing the Pilot. This is how the promising Alpha-50 model with a very original design appeared. The engine on the Alpha-50 remained the same, 50 cc with a power of 3.5 hp, which allowed the moped to accelerate to 50 km/h. Consumption remained the same – 2.2 l/100 km at a speed of 30 km/h. Weight – 76 kg. But such a moped did not go into production, and the plant still produces outdated Pilots.
ZID TURBONE-50 (1993-1998)
From 1993 to 1998 at the Plant named after. Dyagterev, along with the successor to the Pilot - Alpha-50, was developing a moped equipped with a CVT. The Mokik was called TURBONE-50, had an interesting innovative design and could become very popular. But, only 11 pieces were produced. One of the surviving mokiks is in the private collection of Nikolai Tubaev in Kovrov.
ZID 50 Arkan Prototype (1999)
In 1999, a prototype of the Arkan scooter was made with an original plastic body kit. The entire technical innovation was similar to the ZID 50 Pilot mokik.
Rusak (1999)
The Rusak custom moped was a prototype of a moped in the style of American cruisers. The entire technical basis was borrowed from the serial ZID-50 Pilot.
Nika (2000)
In 2000, a prototype of Nick's moped was released, which was a ZID-50 Pilot in enduro style. Mokik received an appropriate body kit and reinforced suspension.
ZID 80 Arkan (2000)
The model of a promising mokik was created by designer Alexey Bobylev. It received a five-speed gearbox, a front wheel disc brake and a separate lubrication system. Was in the factory museum, after the disbandment of which it was sold into private hands. Currently in the collection of Vladimir Myachin.
ZID 80 Arkan Custom (2000)
Another promising mokik created by designer Alexey Bobylev. What distinguished the Arkan from the ZID 80 was its body kit in the style of American cruisers.
ZID 50 Arkan with CVT (2001)
As already written above, the main reason for the failure of sales of the ZID 50 Arkan scooter was the lack of an automatic transmission in the design. But in 2001, the plant produced a prototype of the Arkan with a CVT, which, unfortunately, never went into production.
ZID 80 (2001)
The model of a promising enduro-style mokick was created by designer A. Kabaev.
ZID KM (2002)
In 2002, a prototype of the ZID KM motocross motorcycle with the ZDK-50 engine was created.
Quad "Double" (2006)
When things in the ZiD motorcycle production were so bad that they were ready to build anything just to get cash, comrades from St. Petersburg turned to SKB. And they asked me to implement their long-standing idea - to build a double moped so that you could ride with a passenger, and at the same time not worry about maintaining balance (an ideal option for drunk drivers - you don’t need a “licence” for fifty dollars). We took the “Pilot” as a basis, using a number of components from our “Tarpan” all-terrain vehicle.
The front suspension turned out to be especially original - independent, on trailing arms. No one in the world had anything like this, as well as a way to “fix” a passenger - holding onto a motorcycle-type handlebar. The ATV was powered by a Chinese Lifan engine with a power of 2.72 hp, the same one that was installed on the Pilots. The customer took the device, called “Double” without much imagination, paid generously, and took it to St. Petersburg. The further fate of “Double”, unfortunately, cannot be traced...
Sports models
ZiD-50-SMB (1998-1999)
The sports mokick ZID-50-SMB for motoball was a ZID-50 Pilot with a full motoball hitch and gear shift on the steering wheel. It was intended for athletes aged 11 to 16 years. A small batch went to clubs around the country, and European clubs also showed interest, but things didn’t go any further. Overall dimensions – 1700x980x750 mm. Wheelbase – 1150 mm. Weight – 76 kg. Carburetor two-stroke engine ZDK-50-01 with a displacement of 49.9 cm3 and a power of 4 hp. Gearbox – 3-speed.
ZiD-50XL-Cross (1999)
The prototype of the children's mokik ZID-50XL-Cross was created in 1999. It had the same ZDK-50 engine with a power of 3.5 hp. and a 3-speed gearbox from the ZID 50 Pilot. The matter did not go beyond the production of prototypes.
ZID-50 Cross (2000)
Option of a sports body kit for the ZDK-2.103 chassis. Was released in a small batch.
ZID Ptakha-NRMF (2003)
A prototype of the sports children's motorcycle "Ptah" was manufactured by ZID by order of the National Russian Motorcycle Federation in 2003 in a single copy. The technical characteristics are identical to the standard mokik ZID 36 Ptah.
ZID Pilot 80 NRMF (2003)
A prototype of the children's sports motorcycle "Pilot-80-NRMF" was manufactured at ZiD by order of the National Russian Motorcycle Federation in 2003 in a single copy.
ZID GAS-GAS (2003)
“ZiD-Gas-Gas” was a combination of the chassis of the Spanish mock GAS-GAS EC 50 Rookie and the Kovrov ZDK-50 engine. Mokik was made by order of the Russian dealer Gas-Gas. The characteristics of the Pilot engine were similar to the original one, but they were still different - three gears instead of six, air cooling instead of water cooling and the absence of an electric starter.
ZiD-50 “Pilot” - technical characteristics
It is equipped with a two-stroke 50cc engine with 3.5 horsepower. Small in size, it reaches a maximum speed of up to 50 km/h, while consuming on average up to 2.2 liters per hundred km. This moped weighs seventy-six kilograms. Initially, it was equipped with a three-speed gearbox combined with the engine into one unit.
Judging by the reviews, the ZiD-50 “Pilot”, which is still not uncommon on our roads today, is most suitable for short trips. It is preferred by those who like to feel the adrenaline and whistling wind. ZiD-50 “Pilot” is suitable for all age categories. It is simply indispensable for those who want to gain initial skills for riding two-wheeled vehicles with a motor.
In addition, the ZiD-50 “Pilot” is very unpretentious in repair. It is equipped with rearview mirrors and turn signals. Thanks to the engine capacity, you can ride this legendary moped without a driver's license.
ZID 50 “Pilot”
Was released in 1995. It was equipped with a fairly powerful two-stroke fifty-cc engine. The lightweight moped turned out to be very powerful, and could reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour while consuming only 2 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
The three-speed gearbox was integrally connected to the engine. Four years later, a model with a raised front wing was released. And later the plant pleased us with the powerful ZiD-50-01 motorcycle, equipped with a Lifan engine; this model used a semi-automatic clutch.
Based on the ZID 50 “Pilot” model, the ZDK-2.404 cargo truck was later produced. It was three-wheeled and weighed only 112 kilograms. All technical specifications were the same as the previous model. Fuel consumption was 3 liters per hundred kilometers. The already well-known Lifan engine was installed on it. The model was complemented by a rear differential.
Since 2000, the plant has produced ZID 50-01 “Active”. There were no significant differences from previous models. A fairly powerful Chinese-made Lifan engine was used. The model was distinguished by a beautiful and stylish plastic body kit, similar to the trim of cruisers.
Flaws
Like any other vehicle, the ZiD-50 “Pilot” is also characterized by both its advantages and disadvantages. Its very first disadvantage is the weak shock absorption and not very strong frame, which are especially noticeable off-road and when jumping on potholes.
In addition, the headlight of the ZiD-50 “Pilot” is intended only for detection on the road. And also, according to some, the shape of the seat is not entirely comfortable: after a long ride the body becomes very numb.
Mokik ZiD 50 02 cargo is presented in the form of a three-wheeled vehicle with a body on a strong frame designed for transporting goods. Mokik pilot ZidD 50 is a workhorse that is capable of moving on roads of any quality, including dirt roads. The model is very unpretentious in operation, and the price more than pays for the technical characteristics.
Appearance and shock-absorbing qualities of Mokik ZiD 50
Mokik ZiD 50 in its front part differs little from its two-wheeled counterparts. At the rear, the frame is a frame for a spacious body, installed between the rear wheels. The seat is long and allows two people to sit comfortably. The engine is located under the seat. The gearbox, which allows you to move in reverse, is placed between the rear wheels.
Mokik ZiD 50 02 cargo is presented in the form of a three-wheeled vehicle with a body
Fenders above the rear and front wheels, mirrors on the steering wheel arches, a chrome fork, a large square headlight in the fairing, stylish turn signals - all this gives the moped a serious and expensive look. It compares favorably with its counterparts (cargo mopeds) in style and catchy appearance. The bright, red coloring of the body and body only emphasizes the shape and pleases the eye.
For comparison, one can recall the gray-green appearance of the old “Ant”, truly a workhorse that causes despondency.
Model range overview
The lineup consists of the following models:
Zid 50. The Mokik ZiD 50 carburetor creates a power of 2 horsepower. However, there are modifications that depend specifically on the number of revolutions and, accordingly, power.
The moped model range has several options
- ZiD 50-01 with carburetor Mokik ZiD 50 01.
- ZiD 50-02 with Mokik ZiD 50 02 carburetor.
- ZiD 50-02 with an engine power of 2.7 hp.
In general, the models are the same. The mass of each mokik is 112 kg, the load capacity is 100 kg. The speed does not decrease, remaining within 45-50 km/h.
Owner reviews
Nikolay, Yekaterinburg. My review of the cargo Mokik ZiD 50 02. I bought a moped for work. But it turned out that the declared load capacity of 100 kg was not enough for me. Fortunately, the engine is being well modified; larger diameter pistons can be installed. After upgrading the power unit, the load capacity increased to 150 kg, although the maximum speed remained at 50 km/h. But overall, everything is fine now.
Alexey, St. Petersburg. The presence of reverse speed in a moped is very convenient. You can immediately park your vehicle at a loading ramp, for example in a store, for unloading/loading. The gasoline crisis with this bike is not terrible - fuel consumption is minimal, only 2.2 liters per 100 km.
Andrey. Saratov. My company operates 10 units of Mokik Pilot ZiD 50 and 50 02 cargo trucks. In general, there are no major comments on the quality or price of service. We buy spare parts through an official dealer, the prices are quite reasonable, and besides, they are not often required. The trikes were purchased online, the product arrived in perfect condition without any delays. All my drivers have a license and wear helmets, although this is not mandatory for this type of transport.

ZID 50-05 or ZID Lifan 50
Later, the ZID 50-05 model was produced at the Degtyarov Plant. It was a licensed copy of the famous Lifan 50 scooter . The Russian model was similar to its Chinese counterpart. Its main advantages include:
- powerful four-stroke Lifan 1P39FMA engine;
