I used to ride one in the mid 70s and I would have to say this had to be one of the highest quality bikes I ever rode the power for what it was was amazing .
Oh yes, the Benelli Mini's were, and are, beautiful bikes, just like miniature motorcycles. Visit my Benelli Website/Shrine for my take on the distinction between ordinary "lawn-mower-engined" minis, and the Benellis. It's fun to tear around town on a Dynamo or a Volcano - they are SO SMALL and people just can't even imagine what you are driving. I saw some 70cc Honda Minis in Europe recently, but nothing as small as a Benelli Dynamo!
I got one of the similar madel called the Woods Bike, it was a stripped down version of the Dynamo as it had no headlight or Speedometer. The gearbox went bad and the entire motor was factory rebuilt and the original 65cc motor was larger because it was also bored. I don't know how much but it was at the factory. We clocked it on some open roadways and it would do around 60mph. Mine is Blue as I still have it and it is sitting in my basement and needs work.
Because the bike has not been manufactured or sold in more than 30 years, and is no longer supported by Benelli! You can buy parts and service manuals from Vintage Cosmo on E-Bay, and you can find parts also on E-Bay frequently. It is a vintage, historical vehicle.
I like very much this bike, recently I know exist, its like a Dax. Now I search info about this, possibly i made a replica of this. Have you a video on streets or routes?.
Cool!!! I just baught one earlier this week! Does the gear box take oil, or does it use the fuel mixture to lubracate the gears? Also would you know where I would be able to find a chain for it? Thanks for the Benelli films of the classic line up!!!
the gearbox has its own oil! Keep it topped up! chains very hard to find better get a parts bike or take measurements and find a generic italian (regina) chaikn supplier don't miss new volcano video

Mine sounds kinda the same, except mine is more rattle-y. I think the engine sizes are the same and they're both Benellis.

pretty rare but not especially valuabe!
ssalemi 4 years ago
are these things considered rare? or were they as popular as the honda mini trails?
suzukirm80 4 years ago
i like the old hondas too but I have a rule I can only buy Benellis
ssalemi 4 years ago
not that rare, Benelli/Cosmo sold a lot of these in the 60s and 70s -- Dynamos are possibly the least rare Benelli of all

great piece of vintage machinery

You're right! I have an Audi TT 3.2 Roadster (50K) and I end up taking the Dynamo to work on most days!!!!
