Advantages: Surprising performance, ease to ride

Disadvantages: Desirability, storage space

I've been riding an ET4 for a little over 2 years now and I still love it.

When trying to decide about which scooter to go for I just kept coming back to this model. Piaggio have kept the classic scooter looks, but it feels thoroughly modern and easy to ride. There may be more choice now, but I'd still go for this model.

Economy is great, it's very easy to ride (fully automatic), quite fruity enough (capable of 60-70mph), has enough storage for a helmet &/or jacket, but not much more, looks cool and is just a bunch of fun.

Living in Cambridge, where cars are persona non grata, getting around is easy. You can sneak into places where no car can go and park just about anywhere. I know these are generic comments about motorbikes vs. cars, but this scooter is my first venture onto 2 wheels and I'm hooked.

Security isn't great, but as I rarely take it into London, I haven't been exposed to too much. Touch wood.

Highly recommended.
