My new Piaggio Medley
« on: June 24, 2018, 08:00:53 AM »
2018 Piaggio Medley.  Beautiful to ride and hopefully will continue to do so for a long time. If I remember correctly, Stig mentioned that the battery in his Piaggio was small and I was surprised when I saw the Medley's small battery.  It is hidden in a small section behind the back of the glovebox and I might see if there is a more powerful one available in its size, but apart from that all is good.

Oh, very nice Paul!
125 or?
As i understand it, the Medley is a step up from the Liberty. For example, it looks like you have front and rear disc brakes - as the Liberty has a rear drum. (I see two sight holes for brake fluid levels)
ABS, front & rear - yes?
Can we see its rear end?
And first time you remove the bucket, a pic of the engine?
Being nosey - since your scoot is not offered in the States - price of a Liberty 150i vs this Medley in your country?
Pretty scooter - well done we'll be needing reg. reports and pix, please!

It is 150cc and produces 11 kw, has 2 channel ABS brakes and start and stop idle (which I have turned off).  I will attach a few pages from the Medley sales brochure so you can get some more info.  As usual, click on the photos to enlarge.

Stig, I don't think it is anything mechanical, just a little bling with the colors.

Thanks for all replies guys, appreciated.

Looks like the same as the Liberty, just a blackout of chrome treatment. http://www.piaggio.com/en_EN/models/medley-range/piaggio-medley/piaggio-medley-S-150-abs/

Well, no, many differences over the Liberty - the Medley has 2" longer wheelbase, rear disc brake, twin rear shocks, front & rear ABS, liquid cooling, more HP , one more valve, start-start, external fuel cap, etc.
The Medley is the upscale scoot a step above the Liberty.
Sadly, it is not offered here in the USA.
Seems to be a really nice scooter. Perhaps positioned between the Liberty and the lovely BV350!

You missed my point. They are the same in differences between the standard and S models in blackout, not that the two different scoots are the same.

Paul,
Good morning!
What is the price difference there, between your Medley and the Liberty150i?
Curious here...
