    My zip has been very reliable apart from the time i sneezed and crashed and the time he was blown over in the wind. Also i would suggest that you take heed of the reserve tank light because after a couple of miles scooters get very heavy to push. Other than that my moped is the best thing that has happened to me lately. My friends have named him Herod after the King who killed lots of babies (although he has only killed one squirrel to date). Keep an eye on the mirrors as the nuts need to be tightened up a lot else they blow around.

    I am 17 and the Piaggio Zip is my first motor vehicle.
    build quality is impressive, and I was surprised by the power that comes out of its 50cc motor.
    my only qualm is that its 'underseat storage for full-face helmet' is not infact enough to fit a 'large' helmet (blame my big noggin).

    iv'e had my blue Piaggio zip 50 for about 6 months now, and i have to say what a cracking little thing it is. compared to other scooters it looks quite small, however, it's a chunky bike. The fuel consumption is unbelievable. My yellow petrol light was flashing but it still managed another 3 miles. the only thing i do not like would be that it's not that fast. The tops i get out of mine is about 32 mph.

    Better than anything else in its price range!
    I got my Piaggio Zip from my uncle. It has 30 000km ,but drives good as new. Now i added extra 1000km since i started using it 6 months ago. What it lacks in speed and power, gives back in low fuel consumption and agility.

    If you live in urban enviroment with mild weather conditions and mostly use scooters to reach nearby destinations then ZIP is perfect for you.

    If the outside temperature gets too low, then you might have problems with starting t ...

    i have a piaggio zip 100 4 stroke all in all it is quite a good bike although doesnt come without problems. I brought mine new and it would not tickover from cold so you would have to start it and pull straight off not good. I was told this was a cold start plug and dealer repaired it free of charge. Next up the lights and indicators stopped working this was due to the ducati cdi again dealer repaired. And last but not least recently after 1yr and 10,000 miles the exhaust sheared off 2 bolts and ...

    Good choice! I have my Piaggio Zip 4 months and run perfect without any problems so far. Its my first scooter so hard to compare acceleration, speed etc I have it restricted but can go up to 54kmh.. Simple and practical design but could be better:>

    i have just got a zip rs ( one of the 250 ltd edition ones ) it's basically a zip sp which uses the hiper 2 stroke water cooled 50cc motor same as the one's found in the gilera runner and some nrg's but obviously the zip is A LOT lighter than either of those bikes so it will out accelerate them both. the handling is very good and is easyly more than a match for my nrg: wind protection is poor and due to the bike's weight you get blown around a bit in side wind's, although it's size is a bonus wh ...

    ~The Piaggio Zip is an all round good bike! I have had mine for 2 years if you want something to get you to A to B its brill. Its not very fast but its only a 50cc if you want somthing fast get the 100cc zip. I will say i got told that to let your moter warm up for 3 to 4 min before you drive it or you can damage it!

    I have never held a car or bike licence but had an idea to get a scooter and came across the Zip model from Piaggio, I liked the look of it and the fact it had italian origins. I was thinking about getting one second had and could of had a 2001 model for £ 350 or a £ 2007 for £ 500 with a broken left mirror but decided to hang on to see what 2009 would bring.

    This years model (2009) has gone back to being 2 stroke and I ended up getting a Red one of those for £ 999 inclu ...

    I bought my little blue 56 reg Piaggio Zip 4 stroke last April 2008 and it had done 3800 kilometers as it had one previous owner. It has been an absolutely superb little bike to ride and has beeen mechanically absolutely sound. Has started perfectly in all weather conditions and has been very responsive to ride, especially whilst cornering. Even though it is still restricted, it accelerates fairly quick and does 40mph which is fast enough for me. I have managed to do over 2500 miles in just unde ...

    The Piaggio Zip( is the best all rounder bike i have owned so far.i bought a 2001 year model and the top speed was only 50.but with timing and a racing exhaust system it can eaisly reach 65 to 70 mph. Fast When deristrictedGood looking scooterOnly bad point is 2 stroke tank oil Leaks when the tank is amost full.

    i bought this Piaggio Zip ped for 450 and its great. its restricted and i can easily reach 40 mph so i don't have cars overtaking. i have gotten 45 out of it on a flat straight road. but lights are poor in the dark and you rely on other drivers on the road to guide yourself. it doesn't have a petrol indicator just a red light to tell you to fill up. but looks good for a piaggio

    Good Acceleration
    looks good
    good economy wise
    good underseat storage

    Bad points are it only has a light to tell you ...

    I weigh 12 stone and passed my cbt on a piaggio zip and liked it so much i bought one. I paid £400 and got 50mph out of it (I think it was de-restricted). One day i was riding to my boxing club and the ducati electrics let me down and totally owned it. But to fully fix it was £100. However now the top speed of 35mph takes a lifetime to achieve! (18 seconds to 30mph) All my friends peds take over me when i first start it up. Once it's warm it sets off quite well (7 secs - 30mph), bu ...

    I placed my scooter (Piaggio X8) in for a service and was given a Piaggio Zip 100 as a courtesy bike. Oh dear. I was less than impressed with the ride that I got. For a 100cc bike, the power seemed non-existent and the 6 bhp engine struggled to get past 40 mph. I was expecting something more from the scooter. Cheap it may be but if you were thinking about one of these, keep saving and get a better scooter with more power.
