Company History
Megelli appeared in the late 2000s with aggressively styled 125–250 cc singles aimed at new riders who wanted big-bike looks without the weight or cost. The UK team focused on design and chassis feel—trellis-style frames, tight bodywork, and compact ergonomics—while manufacturing partners delivered EU-homologated powertrains. The proposition resonated with A1/A2 markets: approachable pricing, credible brakes and suspension, and dealer networks that stocked common spares. Early feedback pushed upgrades to wiring robustness, fasteners, and fueling, which improved daily livability. Megelli’s story illustrates a broader pattern: European design combined with Asian scale to create learner bikes that feel special at stoplights yet remain easy to own. For thousands of riders, a Megelli was the on-ramp to trackdays and mountain passes—proof that style and support can coexist in the small-displacement class.
