Aprilia Scarabeo 50

With the classic insurmountable and iconic style that has conquered scooter riders of all ages since 1993 (its debut year), the Aprilia Scarabeo is a market leader in the 50cc as confirmed by data released this week by ANCMA.

Aprilia has updated its mythical 2-wheeler with extreme caution, allowing the Scarabeo to evolve without making any radical changes.

That is the philosophy that distinguishes the 2007 Model Year. Although it received important upgrades, it didn’t betray the philosophy behind its iconic status. The rear light is completely redesigned with LED technology to increase rear visibility. The indicator lights have adopted white glass with a glazed structure. The front light has also been changed and the steering wheel is improved. An elegant front fairing improves the aerodynamics of the 4-T. 

In the perfect Scarabeo style, even the new instruments are completely redesigned and extremely thorough.

All versions of the 2007 Scarabeo (both in the 2 and 4T) share the same design. For the 4T Scarabeo, that means a true return to its origins with a more slanted posterior area, a new seat (in eco-friendly leather for the 100cc version), and a definitive look that is more in-line with the Scarabeo philosophy.

The new wheels are even more captivating with a design that improves performance thanks to the lightweight design and slight inertial direction. They are also equipped with a more generous rubber area, guaranteeing perfect stability.

The two-cylinder theme is unaltered in all three versions, the 50 Street, the 50 4T, and the 100 4T. The Scarabeo 50 Street, the leading seller in Italy, is the go-to version of the grand Scarabeo family. It is the youngest with a minimalist design and a brilliant 2T engine. The Scarabeo 50 4T is ideal for urban movement in terms of safety and comfort while enjoying extremely economic consumption, boasting of optimal performances, and moving smoothly in traffic.

The 4T version is destined for those who want to increase performance. Compact like the 50, it offers a winning take-off at traffic lights and is capable of confronting any situation without problem (even outside the city) thanks to the brilliance of its 100 ccs. The scooter is in accordance with the Euro3 regulations.

What all versions have in common are extremely refined mechanics that, together with the unmistakable design, epitomize the Scarabeo’s success. The frame is reinforced with highly-resistant steel tubes for incredible manageability and an unwavering stability in addition to a tele-hydraulic front fork with an 82 mm diameter. Worthy of mentioning is the braking system that guarantees absolute safety in any type of situation. The anterior 220 mm braking disc adopted a caliper with a double contrasting-piston (Æ 30 mm) while the posterior brake cylinder (with a large diameter of a solid 140 mm) allows for precise and modular braking.

The scooters are already available at Aprilia dealerships for a price of euro 1999 (taxes included) for the 50 Street, euro 2249 for the 50 4T, and euro 2449 for the 100cc. The 2007 Scarabeo is available in enjoyable and personal graphics: Rosa Make Up, Rosso Shine, Bianco Glam, Nero Aprilia, and Azzurro Opalescente. Available in the 50cc are, Blu Couture, Nero Moka, Rosso Shine, Grigio Piombo, and Verde Unique in the 100cc.
