Piaggio Thyphoon
     
Typhoon 50 4T (50cc) £1,599

The Typhoon 50 has long been a favourite with inner-city riders, helping people get their first thrills on two wheels and really experience freedom. Tough and reliable, this sporty scooter makes light work of city traffic. The wide, chunky wheels and tyres offer a level of agility which few scooters can match, and the upside-down forks and 190mm front disc help it to keep up with the pack on bumpy surfaces. The 50cc engine offers superb performance and the ‘twist-and-go’ throttle helps riders to keep it on song. Combined with a generous underseat storage compartment and a lockable glovebox the Typhoon makes perfect sense.
