  ## Mopeds
  
  Alongside Tunturi, Solifer was one of the significant moped manufactures in Finland from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s. From 1958 to 1984, around 175,000 Solifer mopeds were manufactured, of which over 20,000 were exported outside Finland. Solifers were distributed by AB Bensow Oy.
  
  With approximately 1,200 registrations in the first half-year of 2010, China-manufactured Solifer BT49QT was the most registered moped in Finland at that time.
