"Moped models/specifications
The power plant of all Batavus models is the Laura M48 motor, a 48cc/2.4bhp engine (with the exception of the Mk 4S which is powered by a Sachs engine, and the Batavus Gran Prix which is powered by a Peugeot 103 engine,), and the Laura M56 48cc engine, which have a fuel consumption of approximately 150 miles per gallon.
Each includes a tubular steel frame, a suspension system of telescopic shock absorbers in the rear, and stainless steel fenders in both the front and back. Each comes with an illuminated speedometer/odometer, electric horn, lockable steering, drum brakes in the front and rear and 16-inch moped tires.
8 models with the Laura M48 motor were made available in the United States. The VA Standard, VA Deluxe, HS50, MoBat, Bingo, Badger, Bronco and some Starflites.
The VA Standard is available in four colors (red, yellow, orange, and violet), has a .95-gallon-capacity fuel tank, and originally retailed for about $429. The VA Deluxe model has all the features of the Standard, and it also has front and rear turn signals and a small battery attached to the carrier rack in the rear. The Deluxe sold in the 1970s for about $459. At the top of the Batavus line was the Model HS-50 that used the motorcycle style tank and seat design defying the more traditional step-through frame design seen in many other moped designs. The HS-50 can hold 1.3 gallons of fuel. Like the VA deluxe, the HS-50 is equipped with turn signals in the front and rear, and it has a rack-mounted battery. The HS-50 is available only in red. All weighed in at about 105 pounds.
Some of the U.S. only models were equipped with the Laura M56 motor. which was powered by a toothed-belt and dry clutch. The Regency and some Starflites came with this motor. The Regency is known for it's extremely large top-tank gas tank that holds just under 3 gallons. The M56 is known for being slightly faster than the M48. The piston, reed valves, and certain clutch components are interchangeable between the M48 and M56 motors, otherwise, the motors are completely different.
The Batavus Gran Prix mid-80's top-tank model, and the Mondial step thru model were equipped with a Peugeot 103 variator motor."
