The Laura company in Holland had just sold the production rights and equipment-tooling for the M56 engine to Daelim Motor Corporation (DMC) in Korea. DMC produced the Laura M56 (1-speed automatic) remake engine, Kia Motorcycle Company produced the frame and chassis parts, Magura (Germany) made the controls, Bosch (Germany) made the magneto, CEV (Italy) made the lights and electrical. For the “snowflake”mag wheel Eagle model, Grimeca (Italy) made the wheels. The plastic side covers (floorboards) were produced in the USA. That allowed Trac to put an American flag sticker on the bike. Production began in 1982. In 1984 Trac added new models made entirely by Daelim. At first they had a kick start Daelim DM50 2-speed automatic engine. In 1986 Trac added pedal start models with Daelim DP50 1-speed engines. The components were all Korean made except the Domino (Italy) controls. After 1986 the Kia-made models with M56 engines were discontinued. Trac non-US models There were no Trac-branded bikes sold outside of the US, but there were many Daelim mopeds and motorcycles sold and used in Korea. ’83-90? Daelim Handy II (Korea model) ’86-90 Trac Olympic (US model) The Daelim-made US models branded as Trac were already being produced for the Korean market, and perhaps elsewhere, branded as Daelim. At right is a 80’s Daelim Handy II, mostly the same as a US model Trac Liberty. At left is a ’86-90 Trac Olympic, pedal version of Liberty. You can see it’s mostly the same as Daelim Handy. The Trac Olympic was named after the 1988 summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. . -- Last edit: 2026-03-14 00:15:00
