This motorcycle was presented at the 1950 Milan Motorcycle Show. A distinctive feature of this lightweight motorcycle was the ability to transform its scooter-like configuration to appear more like a motorcycle by attaching the fuel tank-shaped top case horizontally in front of the seat. Based on its license plate number, the model owned by the Leonardo Da Vinci National Museum was registered in 1952.
Questa motocicletta venne presentato al Salone del Ciclo e del Motociclo di Milano del 1950. Caratteristica particolare di questa motoleggera era la possibilita di trasformare l'assetto scooteristico in un'impostazione motociclistica, fissando orizzontalmente davanti alla sella il bauletto a forma di serbatoio. In base al numero di targa, l'immatricolazione dell'esemplare posseduto dal Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia "Leonardo Da Vinci" risale al 1952.
