To drive around the city, in order to save time and money on fuel as much as possible, many people use two-wheeled vehicles. These are mopeds, motorcycles and scooters.
Of course, there are many modern models. But there are also developments that have been perfectly preserved since the times of the Soviet Union. Tulitsa is rightly considered one of these scooters. And remember that the emphasis in the name must be placed on the letter U.
This is a Soviet two-wheeled vehicle that is still used by many people to this day. And not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. At one time, the Tula Machine-Building Plant (TMZ) was one of the main manufacturers of two-wheeled vehicles.
It’s worth getting to know the Tulitsa scooter in more detail, finding out its history, and taking a look at the main technical characteristics.
A little history
There is no particular point in going into any historical details here.
As already mentioned, Tulitsa is a motor scooter that was produced during the Soviet era. The first copies rolled off the assembly line in 1979.
Tulitsa became the heir to an earlier model of a scooter called the Tourist. The new product was released mainly in two colors. It is a nice shade of green and light gray in color.
The model did not last long on the assembly line. Only 10 years since production stopped in 1989.
Compared with its predecessor, that is, the Tourist, the Tulitsa received a more powerful motor and a 12-volt battery instead of the previous 2 6-volt batteries. There was no longer a toolbox above the wheel, and additional louvres appeared on the left side of the hood. Tulitsa also received a new muffler, like on motorcycles. Moreover, the same solution was used on Tourist-M scooters.
It is worth saying that the engine design of Tulitsa was similar to that of earlier models. But the intake system has been modernized. Due to this, it was possible to increase the power.
Despite the discontinued production in 1989, many still living copies of the Tulitsa motor scooter have survived to this day. Therefore, many are interested in the issues of their design and technical characteristics in the current 2022.
Tulitsa-2. Parsing.
I have free weekends here over the next month. I decided that I could wait a long time for weather by the sea and that I needed to start doing at least something. Who remembers, I have a Soviet motor scooter Tulitsa 2, produced in 1987, lying around. Every time I see in Europe a huge amount of old equipment in excellent condition and, most importantly, on the move with frequent use. Immediately there is a desire to restore something of your own. In fact, I rather don’t like this Tulitsa outwardly. The previous model is much nicer, but this one has completed documents and is almost complete, so I’ll try to start restoring it and get my hands on it. For now I've taken up what I do best - dismantling a scooter
