The history of the brand

shortly after the 2nd World War, Mitsubishi produced a scooter with exemplary longevity. It seems that this one was inspired by an American scooter.
After a prototype in 1946, the machine was marketed in 1947 under the name 'Silver Pigeon'. It was powered by a 112 cm3 single-cylinder engine developing 1.5 horsepower. This Mitsubishi two-wheeler enjoyed an 18-year career on the market.
