Voskhod

Voskhod, a brand of motorcycles manufactured in the Soviet Union, bears a notable place in the history of Soviet motorcycle production. They remained a prominent choice for urban commuters and light off-road riders throughout the 1970s. This brand was part of a more significant Soviet motorcycle industry with many different companies.

Voskhod motorcycles had small engine displacements, typically with lightweight, two-stroke engines with a capacity of around 175cc. Their small size made them accessible and practical for urban transportation needs.

One of the well-known Voskhod models was the Voskhod 3M. It had a semi-automatic transmission that worked well for new and experienced riders. Besides that, the brand had other models like the Voskhod 2M, which looked like mopeds. These motorcycles were made to be easy to drive.

These motorcycles were designed with utility and simplicity in mind. Voskhod's reputation rested on the reliability of its bikes, appealing to riders seeking practical, no-frills transportation. Even though they're not made anymore, old Voskhod motorcycles are still sought after by people who love collecting them. They're valued because they have a small size and simple design.
