Design

Nothing goes out of fashion more

quickly than fashion.

Scarabeo’s design is classical and

contemporary at the same time, with great

attention to detail and harmony.

Under-seat storage

Opens by remote control.

Big enough to hold a full-face helmet

or briefcase.

Fold-away passenger footrests

No detail is too small to be important.

The passenger footrests fold away

when not in use to make Scarabeo

even sleeker.

Adjustable windshield

Choose your own level of wind

protection to suit your journey.

Analog/digital instrumentation

All the information you need,

including clock, odometer, anti-theft

indicator, and fault and fuel reserve

warning lights.

Bruno Munari, designer.

500

Nothing can really stop you. Nothing can

really hold you down. Because your will is

always under your own control.

Large diameter wheels and integral braking mean

great road-holding and stability.

The new Scarabeo 500 is born to ride.

Safety

Tyres

Broad tyres absorb the bumps

and guarantee maximum stability

on the move.

Suspension

Twin rear shock absorbers for

comfort and excellent road holding

even in difﬁcult conditions.

Integral braking

Integral braking distributes braking

force automatically between the two

wheels, reducing stopping distances

and improving control.

Anti-theft system

A remote controlled electronic

anti-theft system is ﬁtted as

standard, for added security even

when Scarabeo is parked.

Epitteto, philosopher.

500

Grace is beauty in motion.

Underneath the style and lightness beats a

generous heart. Scarabeo 500 has the best

power to weight ratio in its class.

Performance

Euro 3 and consumption

Reduced consumption and emissions.

Scarabeo 500 is the ﬁrst Aprilia scooter to

conform to the new Euro 3 standards.

Agility

The shortest wheelbase in the maxi-scooter

class and a steering angle of 42° make light

work of city trafﬁc.

Acceleration (power/weight report)

39 horsepower combined with light weight

makes for nippy standing starts and powerful

acceleration.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, philosopher.

500

Freedom is not the choice between

black and white; it’s the opportunity

not to choose.

Whatever your needs, the wide Scarabeo range

has the right model for you.

Tunnel bag

50 litre tunnel bag with a clear top

map pocket and ample carrying

capacity for even the longest

journeys.

Windshield

High windshield with handguards

and chrome plated brackets,

innovatively designed as a perfect

match for Scarabeo.

35 Litre top box

Detachable 35 litre top box with

lid in matching paint ﬁnish and

chrome plated ﬁxtures in perfect

Scarabeo style.

47 litre top box

Detachable 47 litre top box with lid in

matching paint ﬁnish, big enough to

hold two open face helmets.

Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, philosopher.
