Cigno Scooters

A Brief History of the Marque

Manufactured by Organizzazione Ambrosiana S.R.L, Milano, Viale Piceno 5. 1953-1954

Cigno-Ambrosiano of Milan built a small scooter using MAV "Jolly" 48cc engines.

The same ciclo motore also appeared under the Troto marque, with the same engine and "Cigno-Ambrosiano" clearly visible on the side panels. The Cigno name on the brochure was overstamped "TROTO".

A 1953 advertisement for a Cigno moped includes the phrase "CIGNO" con micromotre "Ceccato", and the bike is all but identical to the Cecatto Romeo Bicimotore.
