Cavaliere Alberto Beggio founded Aprilia after the Second World War as a small bicycle production factory, in a small town in Italy called Noale. Years later, his son Ivano Beggio took over the company, and produced the first Aprilia moped bike with a 50cc engine. The first moped models were named Colibri, Daniela, and Packi. Ivano Beggio went on to truly transform Aprilia as he gradually introduced more Aprilia bikes. During the late 1970s, Ivano introduced a motorbike with an engine of 125cc, and with that he also entered the racing championships.

In 1977 he won the championship in Milan riding his Aprilia sports bike. Since then, Aprilia has never looked back and has made a distinctive space for itself in the moto industry using its cutting-edge technology and innovation. All the Aprilia bikes in India are sold under the Piaggio Group Premium brand called Motoplex. The cheapest model of Aprilia bikes starts at Rs 1,21,000 and goes up to Rs. 23,69,000.
