The Montesa Cota 49 is a small-capacity trials bike that was designed and built in Spain. Montesa, which was founded in 1944, has a long history of producing successful trials motorcycles, and the Cota 49 was one of its most popular models. Based off of the popular off-road moped from the same brand – dubbed the Fura – the Cota featured a 49cc two-stroke engine, a lightweight frame, and a low seat height to make it maneuverable and agile in off-road environments. These characteristics made the Cota a sought-after choice of transportation and adventure for many riders in the younger age groups.

Beyond the beginner-friendly aspects, the moped denotation enabled owners to bypass the need for a regular driving license, allowing teenagers as young as 16 to enjoy life on two wheels. Montesa continued to produce the Cota 49 until the late 1980s, and it went on to become a modern day cult classic.
