The Aprilia Scarabeo 500, launched in 2005, was a stylish and powerful scooter that carved a niche for itself in the maxi-scooter market. It was a testament to Aprilia's commitment to blending performance and practicality, offering a comfortable and engaging riding experience. The Scarabeo 500 was powered by a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 499cc engine capable of producing a respectable 40 horsepower. This engine, paired with a CVT transmission, provided smooth and responsive acceleration, making it both agile in urban environments and capable of comfortable highway cruising.

The Scarabeo 500 also boasted a generous under-seat storage compartment, capable of holding a full-face helmet and other essentials, making it practical for daily commutes or weekend adventures.

Adding to its appeal was its distinctive design. The Scarabeo 500 featured a sharp, angular bodywork with a prominent headlight and sleek lines, giving it a contemporary and sporty aesthetic. The scooter's large, comfortable seat provided ample room for both rider and passenger, while the high-mounted handlebars ensured an upright and commanding riding position. The Scarabeo 500 was offered in a variety of colors, allowing riders to personalize their machines to their liking. Despite its undeniable appeal, the Scarabeo 500 was discontinued in 2008, leaving behind a legacy of stylish performance and practicality that continues to be admired by scooter enthusiasts.
