Fuoco 500

The Fuoco 500ie, which shares the same technological platform as the revolutionary MP3, delivers show-stopping looks, incredible performance and the X factor that makes it stand out from other anonymous maxi scooters. The machine is particularly in its element on twisty roads, where the razor-sharp handling is complemented by a superb three-disc braking system and the double ignition “Master” engine. With a strong personality, aggressive design and cutting-edge technology, the Fuoco 500ie is ready to ride into uncharted territory.
