I have had a Piggio Zip 50 for 18 months. As a first bike its great (particularly as you don't need a CBT or any motorbike specific licence to ride one) or just to get around town it is ideal. It is very nimble and light weight and easy to ride and the acceleration is excellent too for a bike of its engine size. For the bigger person it could be a little on the small side and in terms of stability it suffers a little in comparison to other bikes like the Sfera or Typhoon because of its light weight nature. Nevertheless its great fun to ride in town to beat the traffic and I would recommend it to anyone. Plus it looks great and has superb fuel economy.

Quick review of Vespa Piaggio Zip 50
i received this soped as a gift to commute to college and back. i didnt think much of the moped just as a form of transport, but i discoverd much more to the piaggio zip 50. as i gained more understanding of mopeds, i realised the zip 50 is one the best! it contains style, comfort, speed, and looks in one. weighing just 79kg, makes the zip 50 quick of the mark. i have recorded my zip 50 to do over 100miles to the gallon saving me alot of cash! overall, i can only think of one bad thing about the moped, that being it costs approx £1100 new, but well worth the money! ...

Advantages: Small, "nippy", good looking Disadvantages: occasional faults that are easy to repair
I've had my Zip 50 for a little over 2 years now, i bought it origionally for getting to school without having to wait for the bus and i've never regretted it. The bike is very very reliable, it starts in all weather and usually after one press on the starter. It's easy to ride for a beginner and fun to drive as a more experienced user of mopeds. I've had a couple of minor problems with it - one being that the speedo wire drops out sometimes and ... ...easy fix that requires popping off a cover and slipping the wire back onto the "dash board". The other problem is that the front light wiring is somewhat unreliable. It either blows bulbs unexpectedly or just shows the "full beam" light on the dash but doesnt actually lightup at all. I've had it in the shop a few times about this problem but noone knows what it's about. It's only happened once or twice in the two years so not really a big deal.

Advantages: very fast, alot of storage Disadvantages: no fuel gage
I am very happy with my zip, Its a 2001 model but still starts every time on kick and electrick. I turned 16 in april and i was searching for a moped. I really like piaggio zips they look very sport and fly with a few modifications done to them. On the older models it comes with a switch for the lights, On-Off, which i really like because it doesn't waste my battery. Also the good thing about Zips is the have a glove compartment at the front of the ...

Advantages: Acceleration, reliable, Looks Disadvantages: Needs more aftersale products
A great moped for the first time biker, reliable and Zippy, good acceleration and quick. And most of all easy to get parts after sale, i've heard.
No need to blend the oil with the petrol, it does it self. No hassels just twist and go. A great bike to commute. And is a very eco friendly way to go around. The insurance is very cheap and tax too. Im16 years old and im very pleased with mine! All I needed was a CBT to drive it. And off i went. I fill ...
