Piaggio's flagship scooter has had a few modifications for 2004, such as fuel
injection, sturdier forks and relocating the indicators to the back of the mirrors. The PICS comms system, adjustable screen and
electric stand are still standard fittings. Braking has been uprated also, but price remains the same so making it good value for its classification.

A practical yet sporty little number which has a racing pedigree throughout to be very proud of. Offering a far more exciting alternative to the standard Zip it’s equiped with Piaggio’s Hi-Per 2 Pro motor, which together with its light weight suggests that this should prove a very nippy ped once fully de-restricted.

The 125cc version of Piaggio’s flagship X9 super-scooter hides a four-stroke Leader engine beneath its body. Handling is sure-footed and the triple-disc braking system is linked so that both front and rear brakes can be partially operated from one lever. Gadgets abound. With a competitive on the road price, this could be a wise choice for small capacity cruising.

The EVT 168 should certainly turn heads as it glides through the traffic. The Leader 168 has a styling which is retro in the manner of the Vino or Habana.
Equipped with a boost mode switch to help with hill climbs and initial acceleration. Adorned with a large chromed headlamp and big dials this is an electric scooter with character. Comes with one-year warranty.
