Imagine a world of Italian style, innovation and design, safety and respect for the environment. You're thinking of the world of Scarabeo; an inimitable style that transcends passing fashions and symbolizes a new way of thinking and riding.

Scarabeo 500 is the definition of comfort and practicality however long your journey is. Scarabeo 500 is the latest development of the "automatic motorcycle" concept that combines the safety, pleasure and performance of a motorcycle with the easy riding, comfort, protection and practicality of a scooter.

Scarabeo 500 stands out for its original and elegant design, with a clear family resemblance to all other Scarabeos but with even more appeal. A large headlight incorporated in the body and flush fitting direction indicators make Scarabeo more practical then ever, improve aerodynamics and steering and confer an unmistakable personality on this large wheel maxi scooter. Great attention has been paid to the choice of components and materials in line with the best Italian traditions.

Scarabeo 500 Power

The high tech 500 cc engine delivers plenty of power and exceptional flexibility, meaning instant acceleration for overtaking and high speed cruising. And Scarabeo's exceptional chassis allows you to make full use of the engine's generous power output.

Scarabeo 500's impeccable road holding and precision steering are only equaled by top performance motorcycles. Wide profile tires and 16" wheels guarantee a sure-footed grip on bends even at high speed. Scarabeo 500 gives you the sensation of riding a performance motorcycle. Its first class braking system features three disks (two at the front and one at the rear) operated by an integral braking system. Controlling Scarabeo's impressive stopping power safely and smoothly is child's play. The left brake lever (for the rear brake) also brakes one of the front disks. The integral system operates via a proportional control valve that distributes braking power to suit load. Scarabeo's unique riding position is the result of advanced ergonomic studies and combines the superior control of a motorcycle's riding position with the comfortable, protected and upright sitting position of a scooter.
