When you think of classic Italian mopeds, one name immediately springs to mind: Piaggio Ciao. At the Motor Bike Expo (MBE) 2026, the stand of the
Ciao Club Italia was an absolute must-see for all fans of narrow tires and pedals. We mingled with like-minded people for you and captured the unique atmosphere at the stand.
More than just a moped: The passion of the Ciao Club Italia
The Ciao Club Italia is much more than just an association of owners - it is the guardian of Italian moped culture. In the video, you can find out first-hand who is behind the club and how passionate the members are about ensuring that the legendary Ciao will still be an integral part of the streetscape and the tuning scene in 2026.
Exclusively unpacked: the welcome kit
What do you actually get when you become part of this close-knit community? We were able to take an exclusive look at the new Welcome Kit. From high-quality patches to club merchandise, it contains everything the heart of a true "Ciaisti" desires. A must for every collector!
Spectacular conversions: From series to high-end
The highlight of the stand was, of course, the machines on display. The range was impressive:
- Original collector's items: Ciaos in perfect factory condition, with every screw in place.
- Custom gems: Individual paintwork and loving details that show how much aesthetics there is in this simple frame.
- performance monsters: We looked at rare and spectacular conversions that technically get everything out of the small engine - including optimized cables and reinforced setups for maximum reliability.
Screwdriver's tip: The same applies to moped tuning: A properly tuned carburettor and the right ignition are the be-all and end-all. Check your breaker contacts regularly so that the Ciao always starts on the first kick!
