I think these things were referred to as 'Twingles'. Also sold in the US as Seers (sold from the Seers catalogue). A friend owned a nice one here in Melbourne about 5(?)years ago. Dont know who picked it up.

I was talking to an old bloke at CD5 who told me about the Puch twingle he raced at the old Moorebank track in the mid 60's. Apparently he'd fitted the motor to a B40 BSA roller and it turned out to be quite a handy piece of kit in the 250 class. Frank Stanborough remembers a few Puch Twingle powered specials back in the day and reckons it was a good engine although a tad slow until you hotted 'em up.

A few years ago I bought a pile of Maico stuff from a bloke in Blacktown and remember having to move about four of these Puchs out of the way to get to the Maico stash. They're probably still under his house .
