The company is growing and in 2002 started producing cheaper, small-engined motorcycles. In less than three years in this market, it has become the third-highest selling brand in Brazil, with 10 models ranging from 90 cc to 250 cc engines.
In China, Brasil & Movimento had a development office where it worked in partnership with two major partners, Qingq and Zongshen.
In mid-2011, due to financial problems among investors, and the Brazilian economic crisis, the factory went bankrupt.
