Originally founded as a bicycle accessory manufacturer, Rieju is best known as a motorcycle manufacturer.

Rieju was founded by Luis Riera Carré and Jaime Juanola Farrés in 1934.

The name Reiju comes from the founder's name - the first three letters of Riera (RIE) and the first two letters of Juanloa (JU).

During the formative years, the Rieju brand's growth was halted by the Spanish Civil War, but Rieju eventually returned to motorcycle production in 1947.

Finding buyers was still difficult for the first ten years, but then in 1958, the 125 cc Jaca Sport rolled off the Rieju assembly line.

It was just what young Spaniards were looking for. Easy transportation and off-road fun.

It seemed very modern with its aluminum rims, swept-back handlebars, two-tone paint and air-cooled front brake drum.

It may have been what the young Spaniards wanted, but those extras made the price too high.

Rieju decided to pull the Jaco 125 Sport from showrooms but keep the more economical, street-focused, no-frills 125 because it sold 3, 000 bikes in its first five years.

It wasn’t until Rieju struck a deal with Moto Minarelli to replace the original AMC engine with Minarelli 125 engines that sales of the 125 Jaco Sport took off.

The new Jaca produced 3. 5 horsepower and had a top speed of 43 mph, but Spanish moped regulations limited that to 24 mph. The 125 Jaca Sport put Rieju on the map – not quite as much as Bultaco, Montesa and Ossa, but the future looks bright as their main Spanish rival GasGas was acquired by KTM in 2020.
