Piaggio Scooters
Piaggio scooters are produced by the Piaggio Company in Italy and USA. After World War II, the first Piaggio scooters to win the market belonged to the Vespa line, and they provide an alternative means of transportation. In Europe, Piaggio is the largest scooter manufacturer, while at the international level, comes fourth in the top of the best sold brands. Piaggio scooters are popular for their fuel efficiency, their stylish look and the superiority of the technology that enable users to enjoy a better mobility in the urban jungle.
600,000 Piaggio scooters are produced and sold every year, and unlike car sales, scooter sales have increased over the last twenty-four months. Given the deep economical crisis that affects countries worldwide, people are more and more interested in low-consume vehicles, to cope with the money shortage. Plus, the heavy traffic in any metropolis can be beaten more easily with a small vehicle that can enter areas that are inaccessible to cars because of their size. Add the reduced costs of maintenance, registration and insurance, and you’ll understand the success recipe of Piaggio scooters.
The interested buyer can choose from a very wide range of Piaggio scooters, as the models vary by price, design, features and power. There are lots of models in all the cc categories, with two or four stroke engines, with or without a cooling device, with or without an MP3 and so on. Even this cooling feature can differ, since some Piaggio scooters like NRG Power PureJet is water-cooled, while Zip 2000, Zip sp ’98, Zip sp h2o and several others use some other type of liquid. Besides the gas powered vehicles, you can also purchase hybrid Piaggio scooters that in addition to the regular engine include an electric motor as well.
The money saving possibility is thus higher for hybrid Piaggio scooters because the power is generated by both energy sources. An estimate of gas consume is 1.67 liters per 100km which is incredible if we think of the consume required by a car. Although fuel economy gets most of the credit, the designers of hybrid Piaggio scooters did not overlook performance, because these vehicles surely don’t lack power for their class. Thus, a hybrid scooter can reach 100 km/h in acceleration.
