| 1948 | 1948 Ducati Cucciolo T2 |  |
48cc Four Stroke engine, 2-Speed Pedal-change gearbox. The Ducati Cucciolo is the Rolls Royce of cycle-attachment engines. And as Ducati only started making their own motorcycles in 1948, this rare example is one of the first. The first prototype Cucciolo, the T1, is a wonderful ‘collectors item’ but the design was flawed and it’s not very usable. The T2 - the 1948 model used here by Oscar Egg - was the revised version manufactured by Ducati themselves and is a machine that can be ridden to its full potential.

During the war, aldo farinelli designed and developed a 4-stroke cycle attachment engine with 2-speed gearing. ducati joined another italian company, siata, to manufacture this engine as the cucciolo (little puppy). it was introduced in 1946 as an auxiliary engine in a box. ducati now owned the exclusive rights to the cucciolo. a new and original design, the t2, was introduced in 1948 and though it was similar to the original it was improved all round. a sports version was added, which could reach a top speed of 60 kmh. in the first 2 years an average of 240 units a day were produced. in 1948 ducati designed a new engine, the t3, with 3 gears and a grease-lubricated valve gear enclosed in a case. a new tubular frame with rear suspension was added in 1949. the sports version introduced in 1950 had a 65cc capacity, swinging-arm, and telescopic shock absorbers.
