Remembering Elio Marioni, Founder of Askoll

Elio Marioni, Founder and Chairman of Askoll Group, has passed away.
More than an entrepreneur: a visionary, independent, and tireless spirit. A brilliant mind who anticipated the future and envisioned electric mobility in Italy when no one else could see it.

The man behind the vision

He had the ability to see real opportunities where others saw only limits.
Mr. Marioni possessed the rare talent of imagining tomorrow and turning it into reality with courage and intelligence. When inspiration struck, it didn’t matter if it was six in the morning or a public holiday — his creative energy never rested.

It is thanks to this relentless drive that today we bring electric scooters to the road that are designed for real life: lightweight, easy to ride, and reliable. Vehicles born from a mind determined to simplify people’s lives. He was direct and sometimes disarming, yet deeply human, with a quality that is rare today: he truly knew how to listen.

A great Italian community

For those who had the privilege of working with him, Elio was more than a Chairman — he was a constant point of reference.
He built much more than a leading company: he created a true community, where everyone felt part of something extraordinary.

Two pillars defined his life: Askoll, his creation, and his family. His wife Elena, his daughters Monica and Alessia, and his beloved grandchildren, of whom he spoke with genuine pride.
On behalf of every person in the company, we extend our deepest sympathy and affection to them and to all who loved him.

Our commitment to the future

His innovative spirit will continue to guide us.
We will carry forward his legacy with pride and determination, holding his values as our compass. We will continue to build smart, safe, and accessible vehicles for everyone — honoring his vision every day.

Goodbye Signor Marioni, and thank you.
