The Enfield MOFA is certainly one of
the odd machines coming out from the Enfield family. Enfield bikes are
generally classified as rugged, powerful bikes. Although historically it
has come out with the light weight 125 cc Royal Enfield WD/RE during
world war II for the British troops, the launch of MOFA a 22 cc shock
absorber less bike in the late 1980s was a significant deviation from
its established practices. The MOFA was a very light weight, fuel
efficient (almost up to 90 km a litre) bike. With a top speed of around
25 km/hr it was not really a vehicle useful for speeding across the
town. A MOFA did not require registration from a Road transport Officer
and for all practical purposes it could be called as a bicycle mounted
with an engine. With the advent of other low powered two wheelers, MOFA
subsequently lost out and it is no longer produced. But today there is
some interest in collectors about this bike because of its unique design
which has rarely been found in the two wheeler market !!
