KEY FEATURES

The Fly 50 inherits Piaggio's tradition of success, using the latest technology and design trends. The result is a reliable vehicle for everyday riding that stands out for its style, comfort and ease of use. Light, compact, and agile, the Fly is easy to use, simple to park, and offers excellent power-to-weight ratio for enhanced performance. With 12" alloy wheels and front disc brakes it may be the best value in the market.

The company is betting that the Fly 50's strong heritage - plus its sturdy frame, adult-rated supsension and front disc brake - will sway buyers away from less expensive alternatives. Factor in a halogen headlight, a two-up seat and comprehensive instrumentation as standard equipment, and Piaggio looks to have a pretty persuasive argument.
