History of the Tomos Revival
A Dutch-developed Tomos
Tomos had built mopeds in Epe in the Netherlands since 1966, and the Dutch development team was responsible for introducing models such as the Colibri, Targa and Revival. The Epe factory produced for the Dutch market until 2009, when production was moved to the home factory in Slovenia. The Netherlands remained the strongest market for Tomos.
The A35 years
The Revival was one of the models powered by the A35 engine, which Tomos built from 1991 to 2006 as the successor of the A3. The A35 was an air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke of 49 cc with a bore and stroke of 38 × 43 mm; it produced 3 kW (4 PS) and 3.4 Nm at 3,500 rpm. The Revival stayed in the A35 range until the end of the engine’s production in 2006.
The last range
In the 2000s Tomos introduced new models such as the MC Off-Road Line, Revival, Streetmate and Arrow, and in 2006 the A35 was replaced by the A55. Tomos mopeds had been sold in the United States since 1976, and exports continued into the 2010s. The company went bankrupt in January 2019.
