The Maico Club is a long established Owners’
Club and can trace its roots back to the late 50’s. Originating from the
heyday of Scootering in the 1950’s when there were many one-make
clubs, the SURREY MAICO CLUB, as the club was then known, soon built up
a large membership in the 1960’s.
As scooter
sales declined, and most of the one-make clubs folded, only the
SURREY MAICO CLUB and the MAICO CLUB G.B. Still survived. By the end of
the 60’s, it was decided to amalgamate both clubs and hence the MAICO
OWNERS CLUB was born.
Although the roots of the Club
lie with Scooters, the new Owners’ Club soon catered for all types of
MAICO. However, over the years the motor cycle side suffered a decline
in that today almost all of the very early machines and those built in
the 50’s and sixties have been exported. Club exists but caters only
for the “Mobil” & “Maicoletta” scooters. Thankfully some of the original
Members are still in the Club today and it is through their knowledge
that the Club can help new Members.
The
MAICO CLUB is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of MAICO
scooters. The Club also endeavours to be the platform by which all
like-minded enthusiasts around the world can keep in touch with each
other.
