In 1948 Luis Iriondo founded IRIONDO Sociedad Anonima in Vitoria, Basque Country, Spain, been neighbour of BH and Orbea he had to fight for staying afloat, in 50' distributes and builts french motorcycles TERROT. Peugeot buys Terrot in 1958 closing it in 1960.
The clever Mr. Iriondo swaps the "e" and so Torrot is born. Torrot made hundreds of mopeds and bicycles until mid 80', most of them were workhorses reliable but not very refined. Closed in mids 80' they reopen in 2011 building electric mopeds, billing 13.000.000 euros last year.
