A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured 1902-1956
Maino of Italy built limited numbers of motorcycles between 1902 and 1956, with several periods of inactivity. Early machines had Souverain 2.25hp engines from Switzerland, and they then built their own until about 1910. After 1945, Giovanni Maino built 38cc Mosquito powered mopeds, and lightweights with NSU and Sachs engines of 98cc to 147cc.
The firm was established in Alessandria in 1896 and is best known for its bicycles.
In the 1960s, Cesare Rizzato produced models using the name Maino Rizzato.

Maino Super Sport ...1960s?
Hi there, I am based in Holland and restore M72 motorcycles. I have just found your site via an Italian friend in Milan. My story is as follows: I couldn't resist buying this pretty cool looking bike, a Maino super sport Motorcycle in complete and original condition. It's been stored for over 25 years and the previous owner who had bought it in a job lot of 250 bikes, so he has no further information. I haven’t had any luck finding any information about Maino motorcycles except on the bicycles. So, I am looking for any information about the bikes, history etc? And of course, any information about my bike? year? CC? etc as I don't have the original log book. It has a frame number, but I am in UK at present, so can supply that later. I have added some photos for now. the bike is now registered in Holland and awaiting my restoration and will be for sale by end of this year. Kind regards, Ian
