Design
Nothing goes out of fashion more
quickly than fashion.*
Scarabeo’s design is classical and
contemporary at the same time, with great
attention to detail and harmony.
Under-seat storage
Opens by remote control.
Big enough to hold a full-face helmet
or briefcase.
Fold-away passenger footrests
No detail is too small to be important.
The passenger footrests fold away
when not in use to make Scarabeo
even sleeker.
Adjustable windshield
Choose your own level of wind
protection to suit your journey.
Analog/digital instrumentation
All the information you need,
including clock, odometer, anti-theft
indicator, and fault and fuel reserve
warning lights.
* Bruno Munari, designer.

500
Nothing can really stop you. Nothing can
really hold you down. Because your will is
always under your own control.*
Large diameter wheels and integral braking mean
great road-holding and stability.
The new Scarabeo 500 is born to ride.
Safety
Tyres
Broad tyres absorb the bumps
and guarantee maximum stability
on the move.
Suspension
Twin rear shock absorbers for
comfort and excellent road holding
even in difficult conditions.
Integral braking
Integral braking distributes braking
force automatically between the two
wheels, reducing stopping distances
and improving control.
Anti-theft system
A remote controlled electronic
anti-theft system is fitted as
standard, for added security even
when Scarabeo is parked.
* Epitteto, philosopher.

500
Grace is beauty in motion.*
Underneath the style and lightness beats a
generous heart. Scarabeo 500 has the best
power to weight ratio in its class.
Performance
Euro 3 and consumption
Reduced consumption and emissions.
Scarabeo 500 is the first Aprilia scooter to
conform to the new Euro 3 standards.
Agility
The shortest wheelbase in the maxi-scooter
class and a steering angle of 42° make light
work of city traffic.
Acceleration (power/weight report)
39 horsepower combined with light weight
makes for nippy standing starts and powerful
acceleration.
* Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, philosopher.

500
Freedom is not the choice between
black and white; it’s the opportunity
not to choose.*
Whatever your needs, the wide Scarabeo range
has the right model for you.
Tunnel bag
50 litre tunnel bag with a clear top
map pocket and ample carrying
capacity for even the longest
journeys.
Windshield
High windshield with handguards
and chrome plated brackets,
innovatively designed as a perfect
match for Scarabeo.
35 Litre top box
Detachable 35 litre top box with
lid in matching paint finish and
chrome plated fixtures in perfect
Scarabeo style.
47 litre top box
Detachable 47 litre top box with lid in
matching paint finish, big enough to
hold two open face helmets.
* Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, philosopher.
