New Piaggio scooters: revamped high-wheel models, the Typhoon 125 and Aprilia SXR 125

The Pontedera Group is bringing the 2027 scooter range updates from the Piaggio, Vespa and Aprilia brands to Eicma. These include updates to the Beverly and Medley ranges, the Aprilia SR GT, the revamped Typhoon 125 and the new Aprilia SXR 125, alongside a new version of the electric Vespa. Eicma also provides an opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the MP3, the scooter with twin front wheels.

The Beverly, a mid-range high-wheel model, has been updated for 2027 in the 310 hpe (27.7 cv / 20.4 kW) and 400 hpe (36 cv / 26.5 kW) versions, available in the Beverly and Beverly S trim levels. The styling has been updated: full-LED headlights and front indicators with new black bezels, a new ‘tie’ on the front fairing, and lighter, sportier wheels. The 7-inch colour display, with a twilight sensor, is smartphone-compatible; on the 400, the Piaggio Mia platform, fitted as standard, enables pictogram navigation. The new rear grab handle incorporates the top box mount, and the 310 now comes with a clear windscreen as standard. Still on board are the electrically operated seat – which can also be operated via the remote control – with storage space for a full-face helmet, the keyless system and the USB-C socket. The Beverly is available in Moon White and Graphite Grey, with the seat and under-seat storage compartment in dark brown and satin grey trim. The S version comes in Meteora Black, Mercury Grey, Lapis Blue and Mineral Green, with a black seat and lower fairing, a handlebar, central tunnel and wheels in gloss black, and blue accents.

Piaggio describes the Medley as the link between the Liberty – a lightweight, manoeuvrable scooter with large wheels – and the more high-performance Beverly. In the 125 and 200 cc i-get versions, the model has been revamped for 2027 with a new black headlight surround, a black vertical metal trim strip on the front fairing and five-spoke wheels. The specification includes a 5-inch colour display, dual-channel ABS and the Start & Stop function – which can be deactivated – that switches off the engine when stationary; the tilt sensor system deactivates it in the event of a fall. The top box mount is fitted as standard and requires no additional plates. The seat, which opens electrically from the handlebars, conceals a 36.2-litre compartment for two open-face helmets; there is a USB socket in the front fairing. The claimed fuel economy exceeds 40 km/l. Several colours are available: Abyss Black and Crystal White, with a brown seat and front fairing and grey wheels; the S version, with black details and wheels, comes in Crystal White, Meteora Black, Slate Blue and Mineral Green.

Piaggio has revamped the Typhoon, an urban scooter with a steel-tube frame and a 125 cc, Euro 5+-compliant, air-cooled, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine, delivering 10.6 cv (7.8 kW) at 7,400 rpm and 10.4 Nm of torque. The chassis features 14-inch wheels, a front fork with 68 mm of travel and a rear monoshock adjustable to four positions; the Combined Braking System (CBS) acts on a 220 mm front disc and a rear drum brake. The footboard is flat. The instrument panel is digital and, via the Piaggio Mia system, displays smartphone functions. The fuel tank holds 6 litres and the seat height is 797 mm from the ground. It is available in four colours: Monsone Black, Boreale White, Scirocco Grey and Ocean Blue.

The SXR is the entry-level scooter in the Aprilia range: already available in Europe in the 50 cc version, it now comes with a 125 cc air-cooled single-cylinder 4-stroke engine, which produces 10.6 cv (7.8 kW) at 7,400 rpm. The frame is made from steel tubing and pressed sheet metal, with 14-inch wheels and 120/70 tyres; the CBS combined braking system acts on a 220 mm front disc and a 140 mm rear drum. LED headlights and a 5-inch colour display are fitted as standard; the display can be connected to a smartphone via the Mia control unit, available as an accessory. The 20-litre underseat storage compartment features a courtesy light, and there is a USB socket in the rear fairing. Colour options include gloss white, silver and black, plus red for the S version.
