The 2012 MY Piaggio Zip 50 Special Edition 2-stroke is a scooter designed especially for the fairer sex among Piaggio fans, with graphics that appeal to the sensitive side. This version sports an ecological, air-cooled, two-stroke, 49cc, single cylinder HI-PER4 lump mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
