The Italian motorcycle manufacturer Gloria Intramotor manufactured bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds and tricycles from 1976-78. Gloria Intramotor mopeds with 50cc capacity included the Blanco, Dream, Kid, Scout, Super Scout, Mini Kid, Pinto, Verona and Gipsy, which were equipped first with Minarelli engines, and later with Sachs engines. Some models are equipped with a Verona engine. Models with 125cc likewise had Sachs engines (with 6 or 7 gear transmissions), like the 125cc Enduro and the legendary motocross Panther with 25HP. Most mopeds (including the Scout) manufactured by Gloria Intramotor have Morini Franco Motori or Minarelli engines, both of which are two-stroke. Source
Company History
In 1950, Vittorio Minarelli and Franco Morini set up a factory together FBM (Fabricca Bolognese Motocicli SrL) to produce motorcycle and moped engines. Sometime after that they decided to start their own companies in Bologna: Vittorio Minarelli under the name "Minarelli" and Franco Morini under the name "Morini Franco Motori". This last company was founded in 1954. The basic 50cc moped engine of both factories was nearly identical. Some parts could be swapped without any problem. GI was known as Intramotor-Gloria S.p.A, Verona, and later Arcole. Source
