Piaggio Liberty 125 2026

The Piaggio Liberty 125 is the scooter for everyday use, the loyal companion that gets its rider to their destination safely and on a stable track, is easy on the wallet (compared to Vespas) but of course doesn't have quite as much character at the pub-talk. On the other hand, it is clearly the better scooter and convinces unspectacularly in everyday use - day after day. If Piaggio could now find more space for a normal helmet under the seat, then everyone would be really happy.

16 inch front wheel makes it stable yet agile

Model update with minor improvements at no extra charge

New topcase can be fitted without extras

Bright display, even in colour in the dark

Connectivity via smartphone possible

solid brakes, solid suspension with reserves

good price-performance ratio

Storage space under the seat too small for a full-face or large jet helmet
