A youthful, cheeky new style for the Scarabeo 50: introducing the Special Edition.
Since its first appearance in 1993, the Scarabeo has been synonymous with elegance and technology. The Scarabeo was instantly a huge hit becoming an icon that is just as successful today thanks to its remarkable ability to transcend fads and fashions while remaining the benchmark for the segment.
Scarabeo 50 Special Edition is created for younger users, which exploits the hallmark minimal, pure design of the Scarabeo to offer a wide choice of possibilities for personalising the scooter. In its standard matte black colour scheme, the Scarabeo 50 Special Edition adapts to any look and style: the stickers, available together with the vehicle, let every single user tag their Scarabeo to make it unique.
Scarabeo 50 Special Edition is the young scooter by definition.
Right from the first glance, the stylised writing on both flanks and the white motif on the front shield - which unmistakably cites the universal peace sign - emphasise the youthful spirit of the Scarabeo and instantly make it stand out from the crowd as a fun scooter.
The wide, comfortable saddle is all new and boasts a Tartan insert, making the Special Edition version of the Scarabeo all the more unique.
With its timeless forms, the Scarabeo has proven immune to the passage of time. Over the years, just a few skilfully measured touches have kept the design fresh, and the style of the Special Edition is one more step in this direction.
The luxury entry level. As with the rest of the family, nothing but the best will do for the Special Edition special edition of the Scarabeo 50: its sturdy reinforced frame in high strength steel tubing ensures class leading agility and unrivalled stability.
The frame is coupled with superior quality suspension components, for tackling even the worst city street with ease. At the front is a telescopic hydraulic fork, with 28 mm stanchions and a remarkable 78 mm of wheel travel, while the rear suspension boasts a sturdy adjustable hydraulic shock absorber with a wheel travel of 74 mm.
The ultra-light wheels ensure minimal inertial resistance for improved manoeuvrability and riding pleasure. The braking system ensures absolute safety in all conditions. The 220 mm front disc brake is gripped by a floating calliper, while at the rear is a generously sized drum measuring 140 mm, for precise, modulable braking in all situations.
Scarabeo 50 Special Edition is powered by a latest generation two stroke 50 cc engine with forced air cooling and a catalytic converter, to offer both performance and care for the environment. Sparkling performance, limited fuel consumption and ultra-low emissions make Scarabeo 50 Special Edition the perfect anti-traffic weapon.
