Gilera G

Machine-translated from the Italian article

The Gilera G is a range of scooters produced by the motorcycle company Gilera from 1962 to 1968, comprising the models Gilera G50, Gilera G50 T and Gilera G80. In 1959, the entry into force of DPR 956/58, better known as the New Highway Code, had defined the new category of mopeds, as motor vehicles without a licence plate usable without a driving licence, with the simultaneous abolition of the obligation to have pedals present in the previous category "Velocipedes equipped with an auxiliary motor". Conceived as a utilitarian means of transport, the Law set limits for the moped in terms of engine displacement, power, speed and weight which, in theory, should have focused the technological competition among motorcycle manufacturers on values of operating economy and comfort, excluding speed performance.
