Aprilia has presented its new Scarabeo scooter range for 2009, with four new models: Scarabeo 300 Special, Scarabeo 125 i.e. and 200 i.e. and the Scarabeo 50 4Valvole. We’ve been testing the new models and will give you an insight into how these scooters run over the next couple of days.

The Scarabeo 300 Special is an elegant, sports scooter model that is totally new for the range. The Scarabeo 125 i.e. and 200 i.e. are the first “multi-mapped” scooters in the world and they are equipped with a new electronic ignition system. The Scarabeo 50 4Valvole has the great performance, but with reduced fuel consumption and emissions, of a four-stroke, four-valve 50cc engine.

With a new range of colours, Aprilia is proving that its Scarabeo range is one of the best around, with a number of options making for a complete offering. The release is part of the Piaggio Group’s expansion in Italy, with increases in the numbers of scooters on the road. Piaggio experienced a sales increase in the month of May, showing the scooter market, at least, is healthy.

The Piaggio Group has experienced overall growth across its range in May, compared to the same month last year, with increases of between 0.4 and 2.7 percent in the various scooter segments. The Piaggio, Vespa and Scarabeo ranges have had five different models declared to be in the Top Ten for the Italian market.
