Puch (sounds like spook) is an Austrian small-engine motorcycle company that existed from 1903 until 1987, when it was bought out by Piaggio, maker of the Vespa. In 1934 it became the group known as Steyr Daimler Puch. It produced the famous Twingle engine and the Maxi, Newport, and MK mopeds popular from during the late 1970s and early 1980s
Steyr Puch still exists next to the Piaggio division, which took over production of mopeds labeled Puch in 1997. Steyr Puch manufactures parts for four-wheel drives.
