Motobic was founded in Eibar, in Guipúzcoa, in 1948 by Lorenzo Zabala, a mechanic aged just 18, who began by fitting an auxiliary engine of his own design to his Orbea bicycle. The name Motobic, a contraction of ‘motorbike’ and ‘bicycle’, says it all about this original vocation.
Eibar is a town with a long tradition of metalworking and industry, and Motobic naturally became part of this heritage. The brand enjoyed its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, producing a varied range of mopeds and light motorcycles from 49 to 100 cm³, including the famous Saeta, its most iconic model. Its mopeds were so reliable that they were adopted by the Spanish Post and Telegraph Service as well as by the forest patrols of the Guardia Civil – a major accolade for a modest-sized company.
1971 was one of the very last years of Motobic’s moped production. The brand would cease production of two-wheelers for good the following year, in 1972, to switch to the production of industrial engines under the name Minsel. A 1971 model is therefore one of the last remaining examples of a production line slowly coming to an end, an end-of-series model, built by a manufacturer that knew its time in the motorcycle industry was running out.
