 Avada Super Sport with headlamp
fairing.  Avada mopeds came from Alphen a/d Rijn
and the name is derived from that of the company's owner:
A VAn DAm.
 Avaros Ultra Sport.  Avaros (or
Avros,as a number of earlier nachines were branded), like a
number of Dutch marque names, is derived from the founder's name:
Ad VAn ROSsum.  The company was based in
Dordrecht.  Like most Avaros machines, the Ultra Sport is
powered by a Flandria engine.
 Berini M21 Sport.  Perhaps the
least sporting of Berini's sports-styled mopeds, since it was
powered by the single-speed M21 engine.
 Ducbock Sandrino four-stroke. 
Ducbock machines came from the firm of
Gé van Bockel in Rotterdam ans were powered by
Ducati engines.  The name is a contraction of DUCati and
van BOCKel.

 Superia Fullspeed.  Superia was a
counterpart to Flandria and, while Flandria machines had their
own engines, Superia used proprietary engines: Sachs, Victoria
and Pluvier.  The Fullspeeed was a Sachs-powered equivalent
to the Flandria Record.

and Kreidler parts.  As well as being a contraction of
ZÜNapp and KreiDLER, Zündler is also German for
firebrand.
