The history of Malaguti starts in 1930 in a small factory employing 15 people, where bicycles were made, by applying ingenious patents, like the famous "pipes": unwelded joints obtained by using extrusion processed pipes. After the second war, a new figure appeared on the road: the motorbike. At Malaguti, the "Mosquito" lightweight frames were born, as well as the first production of chain drived motorbikes, fitting a german engine.
  The 1960 marks the beginning of its recent history. The first company decides to concentrate on the production of 50cc motorbikes that become in a short time an indispensable means of transport, because of their being economical and practical in the city traffic jams.
The model "Fifty" born in 1975 and called "the tubone" because the big tube of its frame was used as petrol tank, had the merit of carring on the Malaguti from the 70's to the 90's as a leader manufacturer on the domestic market and opening frontiers to exports.
