AUCM MMB3 Folding Bike
Hi...I am researching a folding bike made in Belarus and has the Stork medallion along with MB3...I had read in one forum that it was Russian. I have been unable to find any info. Is anyone familiar with this bike? Thanks...

I sometime see an MMB3, but never call it Russian. They are/were built in Minsk, firmly located in present-day Belarus.
What we see as MMB3 is really a short form of their name in their Cyrillic alphabet, where the '3' is actually a capital letter. In Latin letters it would be Minsk Motovelo Zavod, and in English Minsk Motorcycle and Bicycle Plant
I still sometimes see their classic blue Minsk motorcycles, but rarely these days even though I don't live far from the Belarus border. I think they still make motorcycles, but I have no idea whether they export them and where as the political situation there is 'difficult'.
