The name of the company was chosen in honour of a snow leopard, a huge feline, inhabiting Central Asia.

First Irbis motorcycles entered the Russian market in 2000, driven by few bike admirers from Vladivostok, who decided to administer the sales of inexpensive equipment, equal to Japanese and European countertypes. Initially the firm was called “Vostokscooter” and in 2004 was renamed as “Irbis Motors”.

Scooter Z50R pioneered Irbis manufacture and immediately reached sufficient success in the market.
