About Kasinski

Abraham Kasinski

Company History
Kasinski entered Brazil’s market with the aim of localizing dependable small and mid-displacement motorcycles, leveraging partnerships to deliver accessible pricing and credible quality. Early on, the brand distributed and localized platforms that balanced performance with ease of service, giving Brazilian riders options beyond the dominant Japanese incumbents. A pivotal moment came with Zongshen’s investment, which expanded capacity and parts pipelines while stirring debate about identity. Regardless, Kasinski focused on the basics—EFI compliance, braking upgrades, and dealer coverage that kept ownership costs sensible for commuters and small businesses. The lineup spanned city scooters, standards, and approachable cruisers. Historically, Kasinski reflects Brazil’s blend of domestic assembly and global sourcing, making two-wheel transport available to a broader swath of the population. The badge’s legacy is practical: shops with spares, bikes that survive cities like São Paulo and Recife, and financing that turned aspirations into morning commutes.
