"Maserati bicycles were only
tangentially connected to the motor company. The bicycle branch was
headed by Alfieri Maserati (a grandson, I believe, of one of the
original Maserati brothers of automotive fame) but was a separate
entity from the car factory in Modena, Italy. The bikes were
imported and sold in the US by Elsco Corp of Jacksonville, Florida,
which was owned by Ed Hugus who raced Maserati cars and was a friend
of the Maserati family." from the Road & Track article about the
Maserati bicycle.
