Piaggio Zip Review

Piaggio Zip is one of the entry class scooters manufactured by Piaggio and has a smaller dimension compared to its siblings the Vespa LX 150e and LX 12% also the Piaggio Liberty 150.

Feel On the Scooter

Sitting on the seats felt quite comfortable, in addition our leg position is also ergonomically relieving. Moreover, the footrest deck is large enough to put the luggage, such as grocery bags but just don't put things too big in size.

Our foot can be easily rested on the ground because of the scooter dimensions that's tiny enough. What is certain, if you consider this scooter, I think it is better suited for women.

Speedometer on the handlebars is also easy to see and interesting although very simple. Its all just standard, only the pointer speed, turn signal indicator and the indicator lamp for gasoline. Strange isn't it? These scooters have a fuel indicator that only light that lights up when the petrol in the tank is running low.

Let's try running straight. Shortly after the turn of contacts and start the engine. The sound of 4 stroke 100cc engine was fairly quiet. Motor with power only 4.2 kW at 7,000 rpm is powerful enough. When gas is opened, it should feel a little bit jerky. But ... further on energy propagation will be smooth. Is enough to travel around the residential complex.

The Piaggio Zip scooter has moderate suspension and seems it will pamper any rider, suitable for comfort riding compared to Piaggio and Vespa LX Liberty. Piaggi Zip shock breaker got softer character. But for tight cornering, it will not comfortable. Shock breaker used telescopic model, its typical for scooter with a rear single shock breaker on CVT. The wheels has 10 inches diameter wheels used on the front and rear. Although small but thick tires, the tires has a size of 100/80 and 120/70, quite helpful to make a soft suspension damping.
