Title: Galletto Concept scooter
Post by: jrt on July 15, 2020, 10:09:29 AM: This was fun to look at:

I like the original Galletto design and this is a good homage. It is just a set of concept drawings, of course. Just wishful thinking on the artist's part, but nicely done.

Don't get me wrong. I like the Scarabeo. Small ones too. The BV500 is a hoot to ride or whatever model took it's place.

Definitely good scoots, just nothing exciting designwise.

That is a plus. A spare in the legshield with some metal bodywork like Vespa still does would be great.

Small wheels give me the screaming abdabs; this has real sized wheels. :thumb:

Post by: chuck peterson on July 16, 2020, 06:35:05 AM: Great stuff! I’ve been harping on the bigger wheel scooters for a long time....the article refers to a Beverly...thats the Europe name for the Piaggio BV series...4valve, 16” wheel, dual disk....200, 250, 350, and mentioned above the 500

YaMAha made a race spec Brake and suspension version Called a TMax

Its the bigger wheels, like this new Galletto has, that carries the day

Piaggio could pump these out, if there is a market. Great around town
Awesome on the showroom floor but probably needs to be parked w the Vespa

Thanks!
