Piaggio
X7
Designed like a maxi scooter but powered by nimble and fuel-efficient 125cc and 250cc engines, the two-model X7 is Piaggio's latest offering in the medium size commuter market.
MP3 HyS
First introduced in July, the MP3 HyS is hitting the Milan Bike Show as a prototype — although the company plans to reveal a production model by the end of 2008.
Previously reported on in Dealernews, the MP3 HyS features a parallel hybrid drive system that integrates an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Synergy between the two forms of drive is achieved by an integrated electronic control unit.
Derbi
Senda DRD Evo
Offering 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-speed gearbox, a Marzocchi 40mm upside down fork and a braking system with radial calipers and Galfer wave discs, the Senda DRD EVO is the latest step in the evolution of Derbi's legendary Senda 50, the best seller in the Derbi range, with over a million units sold since its launch in the early 90s.
Dealernews will be in Milan, supplying daily editorial and photographic updates.
