Over the next week or so, we’ll be bringing you a scooter a day, with the 2010 scooter models available kicking off today with the lovely Piaggio Liberty and Liberty “Elle”.
Future model profiles will include scooters from Aprilia, Peugeot, Kymco and more.
The Liberty is a successful lightweight, high-wheel scooter for Piaggio, maintaining its 2009 looks and technology, and is available in 50cc, 125cc and 150 cc four-stroke versions.
There is also a 50cc two-stroke available.
The Liberty “Elle” 2010 version is designed specifically for women, with a lower seat height of 765 mm for the 50cc, and 775 mm for the 125 cc, which is 20 mm lower than the standard versions.
The Liberty Elle comes in pink colour, with a dedicated top case and “Elle” branded helmet.
The Piaggio Liberty has a tubular steel frame, and ten spoke alloy wheels measuring 16 inches at the front and 14 inches at the rear.
They are shod with 90/80 and 110/80 tyres.
The rear has a 140 mm drum brake and the front has a 240 mm front disc with a double piston calliper.
The Liberty engine range includes the powerful 125 and 150 cc versions with seven litre fuel tank, while the smaller 50cc versions are great for city riding for younger and female users, with the choice of either a two-stroke or four-stroke.
See after the jump for more Liberty pics and technical specs.
