About MBK
Founded in 1923 in Rouvroy, Picardy, France, MBK is a well-known French manufacturer of the scooter. MBK began its operation when Charles Benoit and Abel Bardin manufactured their first cheap motorcycle called Motobécane. The Motobécane has a two-stroke and 175cc engine with a single cylinder. After about ten years of researches and development, these two partners launched the second motorcycle with an engine of 250cc. With this advancement, MBK made its first appearance in racing competitions. The brand participated in the Ball D’or endurance race.
As a result of the Second World War, the manufacturer had to put a stop to its operation. MBK returned to the bike world after the war when it launched the D45. Immediately, the company launched the well-renowned Mobylette and Z46. Like other manufacturers, MBK experienced a decrease in the sales rate due to the production of cheap Japanese bikes at low prices with high performances. The 1970s was also another significant era in the history of this brand. MBK continued to produce two-cylinder 125cc motorcycles, which enjoyed an eminent success, especially in the local market. MBK decided to expand its production with the introduction of some two-stroke, three-cylinder 350cc, and 500cc motorcycles. This initiative leads to the creation of MBK Booster, a bike with a 50cc or 125cc engine, which turned out to be the most popular model in the market in the history of MBK.
In 1981, MBK was bought by Yamaha due to its financial problems, which continued. By 1984, Motobecane was revamped to name the brand MBK. Today, MBK is one of the leading companies in the motorcycle industry. Over the years, scooters from MBK have played a significant role in the European scooter boom. Besides being a market leader in France, this company has essential stakes in Belgian, German, Portugal, Swiss, Finnish, and Spanish, and the UK, Greek, and Austrian markets. In Italy, MBK is known to be one of the best-sellers of scooters. Today, MBK has participated in racing competitions, which include the Grand Prix tournaments.
