Italian scooters: new Aprilia Scarabeo 50 4T 4Valvole 2009

Here’s the final profile of the new Aprilia Scarabeo scooter range with the Scarabeo 50cc 4T ‘4Valvole’.
The unmistakable look of this smaller Scarabeo remains the same, with a classic style, while the new features have been reserved for the engine.
The Scarabeo 50 has new technology, making this scooter a legitimate choice.

Below is a full gallery of this stylish little scooter, that accompanies the Scarabeo 125 ie and 200 ie, and the top-of-the-range Scarabeo 300 Special.

After the jump are the technical specs and a word from Aprilia on its new snappy machine.
Beauty without compromise.
Scarabeo brings you unrivalled looks plus total functionality in the most advanced expression of two-wheeled urban mobility you can find, in perfect harmony with your needs and your sense of style.
Scarabeo is a source of infinite pleasure.
So start by choosing the colour that suits your personality, the colour you want for your very own Scarabeo.

Then choose the engine that best matches your needs.
Rest assured that whichever one you choose, Scarabeo technology is always ecological and environmentally friendly.
Choose the 50 Four Stroke if you want a silent running Scarabeo, and one that will keep on going for miles and miles on one tank, or choose the 100 Four Stroke if you want your Scarabeo to be just as light and agile as the 50, but with performance to spare.
