The Aprilia Leonardo and Scarabeo, produced from 1996 to 2004, are a pair of stylish and practical scooters that captured the hearts of commuters and leisure riders alike. Both models share a common underpinning, featuring a lightweight tubular steel frame, telescopic front forks, and a single rear shock absorber. However, they distinguish themselves in terms of bodywork and engine options. The Leonardo, known for its sleek and aerodynamic design, was available with a range of single-cylinder four-stroke engines, starting from the 125cc and reaching up to 250cc. The Scarabeo, on the other hand, embraced a more rugged and utilitarian aesthetic, offering a 125cc two-stroke engine in its early years, later transitioning to a 125cc four-stroke unit. Both the Leonardo and Scarabeo were praised for their nimble handling, comfortable riding position, and ample storage space. Their robust and reliable engines provided peppy performance for city riding and light touring. The scooters also featured innovative features for their time, such as an integrated fuel gauge and a convenient under-seat storage compartment. Their popularity was further cemented by their relatively low cost of ownership, thanks to their fuel efficiency and manageable maintenance requirements. Despite being discontinued in 2004, the Aprilia Leonardo and Scarabeo remain popular choices for those seeking a classic and reliable scooter. Their timeless design and proven mechanicals ensure a pleasant riding experience for commuting, running errands, or enjoying leisurely rides.
