Once aboard your trusty Piaggio scooter, you can nip around town, safe in the knowledge that it's come from a European industry leader in design and manufacture. The Piaggio scooter is produced by the Piaggio Company in Italy and the USA.

The first Vespa rolled off the production line in 1946 and over the following 10 years over one million of this Piaggo scooter were sold. As popular today as ever, the Piaggio scooter is a stylish little form of transport and incredibly economical on fuel too. Superior modern technology now also enables riders to enjoy better and safer mobility on the road, particularly in the urban jungle. 600,000 new Piaggio scooters are produced and sold every year and scooter sales, unlike car sales, have increased over the last 2 years. With the current global financial effect as well as growing awareness of the importance of low emission vehicles, it's no wonder there is such interest in this growing market. Easy to maneuver rush hour traffic in cities, the Piaggio scooter is pure style and comfort. And you will also save on insurance, maintenance and registration fees. The Piaggio scooter designs are available to suit any taste, requirements or budget. All Piaggio scooters come with an efficient 4-stroke engine, water cooled in the larger models. There is also an lpg gas powered Piaggio scooter now available, and with a low carbon footprint in mind, there is also a hybrid Piaggio scooter that in addition to a regular petroleum engine includes an electric motor as well. To chose a Piaggio scooter for your runabout is to make a commitment to your pocket to spend less on transport, to your time management to spend less time sitting in traffic and to the earth to pollute less.
