Don't know much about Austrian Puch but I don't think they ever produced anything similar to the front traction French Solex (which is what shows in the bottom picture picture). I'm familiar with Solex because my mother's cousin owned a few of those, he lives in France.The one on the bottom is a Puch. If you wanted to ride it as a bike, you would flip the lever to lift the engine off the front wheel. I did not care for it as a bike or a moped. As a bike it was just OK for flat surfaces but too heavy. As a moped you had to take an easy in the turns and keep a good grip on the bars for obvious reasons.
