Italian manufacturer Aprilia had started it’s scooter production in a small town of Noale just after Second World War. Until 1968 the company had been producing the bicycles, but things had changed when Ivan Beggio, son of the owner of Aprilia Motorcycles Alberto Beggio, came into business to build, together with his colleagues, the very first Aprilia motorcycle with as much as 50 cc. The success was followed by production of first mopeds by Aprilia, Colibri and Daniela. And two years later, in 1970, the making of the very first Aprilia’s cross bike took place. The bike, Scarabeo, had been produced for several years with powers varied from 50 to 125cc. But the first real success came to the company with production of the next model, it’s first real motocross bike in 1974.
