MZ Scooters

MZ Scooters was founded in 1922 in Zschopau, Germany. Initially, the factory was involved in manufacturing equipments for sports bikes. In 1928, MZ Scooters bought an old Audi factory and in 1929 they rolled out 60,000 motorcycles for sale. Since then, they have been producing various motorcycles and scooters. In 2008, the MZ Scooters decided to shut down its Zschopau factory due to the continuous losses sustained by their investors. In 2009, two former GP players reportedly bought that factory for 5 million Euros.
