The Torpedo is great for commuting, and it will get you noticed thanks to its retro good looks. Its bigger wheels make it easier to control and more comfortable to ride than smaller wheeled scooters. Its riding position has been ergonomically designed with the above average mileage rider in mind.

This model has a 4 stroke engine for a smoother ride and outstanding fuel consumption. For those with a preference for commuting retro style the Torpedo 125 is the ultimate choice. Its big wheel design offers improved handling and stability.

What Bike? Summer 2001 says: "The large wheels give phenomenal balance at low speeds making traffic and CBT maneuvers a piece of tiramisu... the poise of the machine inspires confidence straight away."

What Bike? Spring 2002 says: "It uses the Piaggio 125cc single engine... which is proven to be quiet running, economical and reliable, so no worries there."

Which Scooter? says: "Whoever designed the riding position gets a big bowl of tagliatelli carbonara from me. Although at first glance the footboard looks small, it's easy to find a comfortable position. The handlebars won't clout your knees either while the pliant suspension soaks up the bumps without any harshness or bottoming out."
