Rieju

In 1934, Luis Riera Carré and Jaime Juanola started a company to manufacture accessories for motorcycles. The name Rieju was created by combining their last names, as a way of celebrating their friendship.

In 1947 the company started creating motorcycles, marking this as an important year in the history of the company. The first models were small bicycles with french explosion engines attached to the rear wheel. This model rapidly evolved into model 2 in 1950, developed by the company itself, where the engine was attached with the clutch and gearshift.

In 1964 Rieju reaches an agreement with Minarelli for the production of engines under license, releasing the model Jaca. This model reached 3,5hp and a speed of 70km/h, that had to be reduced to 40km/h due to restrictions from the Law.

In 1994 they start exporting, which has kept expanding, representing 40% of total sales in 2006.

Currently, Rieju is a highly reputed manufacturer in Europe, with young people introducing themselves to the world of two wheels choosing models like the Rieju MRT and Rieju RR.
