Description: Founded in 1926 in Pfäffingen, Germany, Maico began as a manufacturer of small two-stroke engines before expanding into motorcycles that would become legendary in the world of motocross and off-road racing. Short for Maisch & Co., the company earned a reputation during the 1960s and ’70s for building brutally powerful, lightweight dirt bikes with exceptional suspension and handling. Maico motocross machines, especially the fire-breathing 400cc and 490cc models, developed a cult following among racers and desert riders who appreciated their raw performance and aggressive power delivery. Despite frequent financial struggles and ownership changes, Maico’s influence on motocross culture remains enormous.
