Piaggio scooter insurance

These are just average prices. Your exact quote for Piaggio insurance will depend on a number of different things, such as:

• the Piaggio model you have, its age and its value

• your age and when you started riding a scooter – statistically, young and inexperienced riders make more claims, so their Piaggio insurance quotes will be higher

• where you live – theft is a bigger problem in some areas than in others

• security – you may get a reduced premium if you secure your Piaggio in a locked garage or add other security features

Piaggio has a history stretching back well over 100 years. Starting out in ships, railway stock and even aircraft, it wasn’t until World War II that the company launched its most iconic product. They are the makers of the Vespa scooter range, which was one of the first motor scooters, and is now a global phenomenon.

Thanks in part to the Vespa’s success, Piaggio formed its own independent two-wheel manufacturer in 1964. Its first machine was the Ciao – combining an engine and pedals, it’s considered the forefather of the modern moped.

While they are Piaggio scooters, Vespas are marketed as their own brand. The separate Piaggio brand allowed designers to step away from the Vespa’s iconic look. Unlike Vespas, today’s Piaggio scooters are mostly high-wheeled, designed to cruise over bumps with ease.

This variation also allows Piaggio to appeal strongly to teens, with a dynamic, aggressive motorbike-style look for some of the younger models.

Power on three wheels

The Piaggio MP3 is the first three-wheeled scooter, and it certainly made a splash on its launch in 2006. The impressive tilting ability of its front wheels gives it a futuristic vibe, and it packs an impressive amount of power.

Three years later the Piaggio MP3 achieved another world-first with its plug-in hybrid version, the first ever hybrid scooter.
