MBP stands for Moto Bologna Passione, the motorcycle marque created by Keeway Group through MBP Moto S.r.l. The company's own history dates its foundation to 25 October 2021 and places its commercial center and logistics operation in the Bologna area, where the name deliberately draws on Italy's motorcycle tradition. MBP's stated portfolio spans scooters, e-scooters, street motorcycles, custom machines and other two-wheel products, combining Italian-led design and market positioning with the wider Keeway/Qianjiang manufacturing network. Early MBP models were also reported to share engineering or production relationships with Chinese supplier brands, so a badge, design center and final assembly location should not be treated as interchangeable identities. The marque later became involved in the revival and acquisition of rights associated with Morbidelli, but Morbidelli's historic racing manufacturer remains a separate marque. The catalog consequently treats MBP as a 2021-founded contemporary brand and preserves its NHTSA model labels without inventing a longer pre-2021 history.
