Monarscoot was a scooter built by Monarch in Varberg, Sweden, between 1957 and 1969 .

The Monarscoot was designed by Sixten Sason and is one of the moped models that in terms of design distinguished itself at that time. The engine was originally a German ILO with pedals. 1961 the rule that stated that mopeds  must have pedals were  removed, so pedals were no longer a requirement and the Monarscooten got footrest and kickstart. From  1964 on the Monarscoot was equipped wiht Husqvarna engines.
