A Brief History of the Italian Marque
1934-1973

Doniselli moto d'epoca

La Fratelli Doniselli S.A. era specializzata nella costruzioni di veicoli per trasporto a due e tre ruote.

La produzione inizia con piccoli motocarri mossi da motori Triumph 175.

Poi realizza anche dei motofurgoncini elettrici.

Nel dopoguerra la fabbrica milanese costruisce fino al 1973 ciclomotori a due e tre ruote impiegando diversi motori: Alpino, Demm, Ardito, Sachs, JLO, Jolly, Morini F., Minarelli.

Vengono anche costruite biciclette equipaggiate con il motore ausiliario Asso, nei modelli Giove per uomo e Dalia per donna.



Fratelli Doniselli S.A. was founded in 1919 by three brothers who, after many years building bicycles, began making commercial three-wheelers.

The production began with motocarri powered by a TWN Triumph 175, and then an electric motofurgoncini.

From shortly after the war until 1973 the Milan factory built two-and three-wheel mopeds using a variety of engines from the likes of Alpino, DEMM, Ardito, Sachs, JLO, Jolly, Franco Morini and Minarelli.

They also built bicycles equipped with an Asso auxiliary motor, the Giove for men and the Dalia for women. Their Vedetta scooters were powered by 49cc DEMM two-strokes.
