Maico experienced some success in the 1950s with motocross and ISDT bikes, and, in consequence, incorporated ISDT Replica and motocross models in their range. Whilst greater success was ultimately to follow in the 1970s, these off-road models provided useful additions to the range in the late 1950s and 60s, at a time when Japanese manufacturers were just beginning to make inroads into the Western marketplace. This Maico 250 in scrambles trim is believed to possibly date from approximately 1962, and is an older restoration. We are uncertain if it began life as a scrambler or a road machine. Owned by the collection since 2005, it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
