The Italian manufacturer [[Aprilia]], now part of the [[Piaggio]] group, has been producing a line of large-wheel Scarabeo scooters (from 50 to 500cc) since 1993.

However, when we tested it we found characteristics typical of Piaggio Leader engines (which power, among others, the previous version of the Scarabeo). Relatively lethargic at low revs, its inertia doesn't really disappear until about 40 km/h (25 mph). On the other hand it becomes much livelier between 50 km/h (30 mph) and 100 km/h (60 mph) with reassuring acceleration, even in the fast lane. Its top speed is probably around 110 km/h (70 mph), with average fuel consumption of 4l/100km. | However, when we tested it we found characteristics typical of Piaggio Leader engines (which power, among others, the previous version of the Scarabeo).
