Brio 48 is the first scooter build by Ducati in 1963 and was presented at the Milan Exhibition. The power comes from a 48-cc fan-cooled two-stroke engine, while the three-speed manual transmission was manually shifted via the left lever. The angular body made of pressed steel had removable rear panels to allow access to the engine and the transmission system. One year after its launch, the Brio 48 was joined by a 100cc version.
