Now owned by Autjann srl, a spokesperson for the company explained: “Moto Morini used to sell bicycles back in the 1970s, and now, 40 years later, we’ve decided the time is right for a comeback. Alongside other projects, we are celebrating 80 years of Moto Morini with the Limited E-Bike. As a growing company, we want to show we are up to date with the trends and needs of the market while still maintaining our cornerstones of high quality and craftsmanship – this is why we’re widening our business into the e-bike market.”
