It is an Alpi from Germany, made in the 1960s on a VW Beetle frame.

If you don't mind, since your picture is better that the other, I'll merge these two and add a back view  ;)

I still think it's an Alpi Roadster.
Simple, very similar ...

What name did you have? Perhaps Alpi is an abbreviation for the builder's name (Alfred Pi...?).
