Chic design and sophisticated technology
The numerous moped models from Piaggio are among the best-selling mopeds of all time. One reason for the popularity of the racy mopeds is the Italian engineering skill that characterises the Ciao, Bravo and SI mopeds in particular. The Italo mopeds owe their legendary robustness and astonishing performance to this art. A particular finesse of the Italian engineers was to consistently equip the mopeds with V-belts. This drive technology is a tried and tested alternative to the usual chain drive on mopeds, it is significantly quieter and requires less maintenance. The Italian vehicle manufacturer also attracted attention with other innovations in the golden age of the moped. The older Ciao and Bravo models, for example, were delivered from the factory with a plastic tank, which was an almost revolutionary innovation at the time and saved a lot of weight, even if not everyone was visually convinced. Innovative design and advanced technology were and still are an absolute Piaggio trademark to this day.
From shipbuilder to the largest manufacturer of two-wheelers in Europe
Piaggio can look back on a long company history steeped in tradition. When the vehicle manufacturer was founded in Pontedera, Italy, in 1884, there was no sign that the company would one day become world famous, as its beginnings were extremely modest. Initially, they laid the keels of ships, later constructing railway carriages and aeroplanes. After the terrible caesura caused by the destruction of the Second World War, the vehicle manufacturer concentrated on building means of transport and two-wheelers. The idea was to develop inexpensive individual transport vehicles, as the development of the public transport infrastructure initially came to a standstill in post-war Italy, meaning that the demand for inexpensive vehicles was huge. Unfortunately, the first vehicle was not a moped, but the Vespa, which was soon followed by the famous Ape three-wheeled cargo vehicle.
The Ciao moped rolled off the treadmills from 1967 and was built almost unchanged until 2006. The first versions were comparatively spartan by today's standards, but this Piaggio gem in particular was an immediate hit with young people. Further series of this popular moped followed until production was unfortunately discontinued in 2006. Piaggio's more recent company history is characterised by growth and numerous company takeovers. One of the most prominent companies taken over by Piaggio was certainly the Austrian moped manufacturer Puch, which the Italians acquired in 1987. Unfortunately, Piaggio no longer produces mopeds, but is Europe's largest manufacturer of scooters.
