The 2013 Piaggio Typhoon 50 is one small-displacement scooter really worthy to check out. Those in search of a nifty commuting solution to rid them of both ever-increasing petrol costs and traffic jams will surely appreciate the 2013 Typhoon 50, as this scooter offers much than meets the eye, and all for an affordable price.
For starters, the 2013 Piaggio Typhoon 50 retails for $1,899 (less than €1,450). Available in either Neptun Blue or Shiny Black, this 2-wheeler offers 144 mpg (1,6 l/100 km), and this means you can ride up to 273 miles ( 439 km) on a full tank (1.9 gal or 7.2 L). And if you plan to ride it on a daily basis, the figures will be truly impressive.

The 2013 Piaggio Typhoon 50 can reach 40 mph (64 km/h) and its 4-stroke 49cc engine delivers 4.5 hp. The automatic transmission makes it extremely easy to use: it's just twist and go! And if you're going too fast, the 220 mm front rotor and 140 mm rear drum brakes will tame the 2013 Piaggio Typhoon 50.

Add in the underseat storage space for groceries, a helmet or small personal objects and here you have it a nice commuter saving your time and money.
