The legendary Jawa 50 Pionýr was created based on the need to create an undemanding motorcycle in the lowest volume class, which would be an affordable means of transportation for the widest possible class. The Stump, as it was nicknamed due to its specific saddle shape, was produced in the years 1955-1958 in about 100,000 units. It was low-maintenance, economical to operate, and yet relatively fast.
