Generation

The Optima 50 replaced the 3S in 1993 with Sachs 505/2 power. Ignition and finish changed within this short series, so use the type plate and wiring loom to establish whether it is an early transition bike or a later 12V Iskra version.

About this model

About the Hercules Optima 50

The Hercules Optima 50 is a German 50cc Mokick from the final Hercules/Sachs period. It succeeded the Optima 3S in 1993 and combines an air-cooled Sachs 505/2 two-stroke with a two-speed manual gearbox and chain drive. During its short production run the ignition, mudguards and finish changed, so the exact version matters more than the tank badge alone: early examples and the later 12V version require different parts.

The Optima 50 suits enthusiasts who want a simple, light classic moped whose maintenance is easy to understand. Prefer a complete example with the correct Sachs engine, Bing carburettor, exhaust and electrical system. A test ride should show clean cold starting, a non-slipping clutch and calm gear changes. Also verify legality of any restriction or cylinder changes; non-original exhausts and sprocket choices are common on these bikes.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Verify the type plate, frame number and whether it is an early 1993 version or the later 12V version; ignition, bodywork and parts differ.
  • Check the Sachs 505/2 engine, crank seals, cylinder compression, Bing carburettor and 1:50 premix for cold starting and stable hot running.
  • Test the two-speed gearbox, clutch, chain and sprockets under load, and look for non-original gearing or cylinder/exhaust conversions.
  • Check all lighting and charging voltage; the later contactless 12V Iskra system in particular should be complete and correctly wired.
  • Inspect telescopic fork, rear shocks, spoked wheels, brakes and frame for corrosion, bends and crash repairs.
