Company History
Generic is an Austrian-managed brand curated by KSR Group to deliver EU-homologated small motorcycles and scooters at accessible prices. The strategy blends global manufacturing with local compliance and support: source dependable engines and frames, align lighting and emissions with European standards, and back it with dealer parts pipelines. Popular models appealed to learners and commuters—sharp-looking 125s and trusty 50s that offered ABS/combined braking where required and practical features like under-seat storage or luggage racks. Generic doesn’t trade on racing pedigree; instead, it wins the daily math of urban mobility—cold starts, predictable CVTs or friendly gearboxes, and plastics that shrug off tight parking. Historically, Generic illustrates the power of a strong distributor to make budget bikes credible: documentation that saves shop hours, sensible tires and brakes, and support that turns first-bike anxiety into loyalty. In cities tightening emissions and parking, Generic helped keep two-wheel transport attainable for new riders who might otherwise default to crowded buses or aging used machines without safety updates.
