The launch took place at the Milan Bicycle and Motorcycle show but all the other exhibitors, but without success, demanding the exclusion from the event claiming that the aggressive low pricing was a maneuver by the Fiat group, owner of Viberti, would damage the motorcycle market. The launch of the moped Loud was accompanied by a huge advertising campaign and purchase terms that were very favorable to resellers. Despite everything, the results of the sales were not sensational.
