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.[6] 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.[7]
