Genuine Scooter Buddy 50 History & Generations Source: Wikipedia
1985

. McCaleb relaunched it as Scooterworks, which grew into the largest U.S. importer of vintage Vespa and Lambretta parts through a nationally distributed mail-order catalog.

1999

That arrangement collapsed. McCaleb responded by going directly to an old Piaggio manufacturing licensee: LML of India. Both parties retained rights to the PX design. Genuine worked alongside LML to adapt the platform for U.S. specifications — higher-quality brakes, improved mirrors and grips — and rebranded the result as the Stella (Italian for "star").

2003

. McCaleb purchased from LML (Lohia Machinery Limited), an Indian manufacturer that had been a licensed producer of the Piaggio PX through the 1980s and 1990s.

2006

With PGO Scooters, a Taiwanese manufacturer. As with the LML arrangement, Genuine participated actively in product development and specification alongside PGO, rather than simply importing finished vehicles.

2010

Genuine introduced a redesigned Stella with a 150cc four-stroke engine compliant with California Air Resources Board emissions standards. A further variant — the Stella 125 Automatic — arrived

2014

Offering the first continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the Stella line alongside a new 125cc engine. The Stella was discontinued in mid-2017 after LML entered insolvency proceedings. With twin headlights, fuel injection, and matte military-green color options.

2018

Genuine launched Genuine Motorcycles, a sister brand separate from the scooter line. Its debut model was the G400C, a 400cc single-cylinder fuel-injected motorcycle designed as a lightweight, accessible entry-level machine for the U.S. market.
