Company History
Starting as a bicycle shop in 1930, Malaguti evolved into a beloved Italian scooter and small-bike maker. In the 1990s–2000s it hit stride with sharp-looking 50–125 cc machines like the Phantom and F12, plus sporty commuters such as the Madison—light, playful, and well finished for their price. Economic headwinds led to closure, but the badge returned under new ownership, applying contemporary emissions gear, ABS/CBS, and LED lighting while keeping the brand’s youthful design language. Malaguti’s role has always been giving Italian style to everyday riders: plastics that fit, engines that start, and ergonomics that make city riding fun. Historically, the marque embodies Bologna’s knack for making practical things charismatic. Whether it’s a two-stroke 50 buzzing to school or a modern 125 slicing traffic, a Malaguti tends to feel sprightly and a bit cheeky—exactly what many urban riders want from two wheels.
