Piaggio History:

Vespa's timeless design comes from an equally timeless company - Piaggio has been a distinguished innovator in the field of transportation for nearly 120 years. Piaggio was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1884 by twenty-year-old Rinaldo Piaggio.

Rinaldo's business began with luxury ship fitting. But by the end of the century, Piaggio was also producing rail carriages, luxury coaches, truck bodies, engines, and trains. With the onset of World War I, the company forged new ground with the production of airplanes and seaplanes.

In 1917 Piaggio bought a new plant in Pisa, and four years later it took over a small plant in Pontedera in the Tuscany region of Italy. It was this plant in Pontedera which became its new center for aeronautical production (propellers, engines and complete aircraft).

During World War II, the Pontedera plant built the state-of-the-art P 108 four-engine aircraft, in both passenger and bomber versions. However, the plant was completely destroyed by Allied bombers due to its military importance.

Piaggio MP3: The two independent, tilting front wheels of the Piaggio MP3 re-define the very concept of ride stability to provide an unprecedented riding experience. Take on wet or patchy asphalt, cobblestone streets, train tracks and other tough riding conditions with more confidence and ease than a traditional two-wheeler.

With its compact super-scooter size and exceptional maneuverability, the Piaggio MP3 is at home in town traffic. It’s a cinch to park: an electro-hydraulic suspension locking system means there is no need to put the vehicle on its stand. The Piaggio MP3 is equally comfortable when heading out of town. Its road grip, cornering safety and tilt angle are unprecedented for a scooter, adding to the pleasure of riding different road surfaces at high speed.

Piaggio Typhoon: Sporty looks, a sturdy frame and responsive engine make Typhoon the ideal companion. Typhoon is perfect for darting through traffic or gliding the along open road. The Typhoon boasts a 50cc, single cylinder, two-stroke engine and thick 10-inch tires with alloy wheels to make for a powerful yet smooth ride. With a twist-and-go transmission, electric start, powerful halogen headlights and great under seat storage, the Typhoon is perfect for errands and short trips wherever you may roam.

Piaggio Fly 150: Modern, functional, and elegantly crafted, the Fly is designed for superior performance, style, and comfort. Technologically advanced, the Fly 150 inherits Piaggio's tradition of combining safety, reliability, and practicality with an eye-catching design. Light, compact, and agile, the Fly is easy to use, simple to park, and offers excellent power-to-weight ratio for enhanced performance. The 12" wheels and large, tubeless tires also contribute to greater stability and agility in traffic, and the low seat is perfect for riders of all heights.

Piaggio BV200 / BV250: Before you get in your car on Monday morning, ask yourself this: Are you looking forward to your commute? Get yourself a BV and you will. Twist the throttle and traffic disappears behind you. Powered by a Piaggio single cylinder, four-stroke engine with an automatic transmission, the BV is the ideal vehicle for stop-and-go situations. Front and rear disc brakes mean braking couldn't be easier, while the BV's 16" wheels and dual shock absorbers make for the smoothest ride in scootering. The BV carries you and a passenger with comfort and style. Underneath the plush, split-level seat is a lockable storage compartment.

Piaggio BV500: Ideal for navigating-and escaping-city streets. A scooter agile enough for the city with added power for "touring" capabilities. Perfect for long distance rides as well as getting in and around town with power and style. The BV 500 will give you the freedom to move in total comfort wherever you want to go.

Piaggio X9: The X9 Evolution 500 satisfies all needs. Agile, easy to handle and the most compact of all maxi scooters. Once out of town, it's able to shift character and open up to wide open spaces with remarkable ease.

The X9 Evolution 500 offers a level of superior technology, total comfort and is richly endowed with special features and accessories.
