2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Piaggio Fly125 is 3.6-3.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are specific details about Piaggio: 1. Background: Piaggio (PIAGGIO) Group of Italy is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe and the producer of the world's first scooter, VESPA. PIAGGIO operates dozens of factories worldwide with over 60,000 employees. 2. A Century of History: In 1884, Mr. Rinaldo Piaggio founded PIAGGIO, which became the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe; in 1937, Piaggio became the most renowned aircraft manufacturing company in Europe, winning 21 world aviation awards and breaking 2 world aviation records; in 1946, Piaggio produced the world's first scooter—VESPA, marking Piaggio's entry into the motorcycle manufacturing industry and the beginning of its legendary journey.
I have been commuting on my Piaggio Fly125 for almost two years, covering 20 kilometers round trip in the city every day. With frequent traffic lights and regular congestion, the actual fuel consumption is basically between 3.2 to 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers. A full 7-liter tank can last just over 200 kilometers, but in particularly heavy traffic, it can go up to 3.8 liters. I tried gently twisting the throttle and avoiding sudden braking, which managed to bring the consumption down to 3.0 liters. It consumes more fuel in summer when carrying a passenger—once, when riding with a friend to the suburbs, it shot up to 4 liters. The small fuel tank is a major drawback, requiring more frequent refueling compared to my colleague’s Honda.
