Modern inexpensive variations of classic scooters are now being made to mimmic the classic Italian designs at a fraction of the cost. The two-stroke engines and manual transmissions of the early models have now given way to more environmentally friendly four-stroke engines and the manual shifting mechanisms have been replaced by modern CVT automatic transmissions.
Note: Many motorscooters are not available in California (See California Legal Scooters) due to local restrictions, but are legal in other states and some ship worldwide (See International Orders ). See state legality indications on each scooter. We try to keep these current.
The Torino is named for the city of Torino (or Turin) located on the Po River in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy.

Front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, the Torino has a top speed of 50MPH and a maximum load capacity of 325 lbs..

50cc Aurora Moped Scooter, though sporting a 6.15 HP engine, the speed of the Aurora is given at only 25 MPH, depending upon load. The design is, however, one of the most compelling and enticing of any Italian-design scooter -- the vehicle for picnicing on the hillsides of Sienna or the orange groves of Israel.
Comes in Black, Green, Pink and Red.

Comes in Blue, Black, pink, red.
The iconic Italian classic design! Very close in appearance to the classic Vespa scooter Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn rode together in Roman Holiday (See Motorscooter Image), the Sicilian 150cc follows closely the classic Italian scooter design, with headlight mounted on and turning with the steering column, and all engine parts enclosed in panelling. Disk front brakes; drum brakes in the back. Oddly, though the illustration is very pink, pink is not listed as one of the color options, though apparently, there are more colors available.
The Sicilian 150cc is sold by Global Trailer, which has been selling scooters for over five years and has deserved a reputation for quality and support.
Fully assembled. Residential delivery is an added $30. Comes in Blue, Black, Silver, White - additional colors available.
