Piaggio NRG

The Piaggio NRG is a scooter made by Piaggio from 1994 to 2020; the name is an acronym for energy. The first model, the mc1, used a liquid-cooled two-stroke engine. The mc2 differed from it only visually, and later models from 1998 had optional air cooling and a rear disc brake with the Hi-Per2 engine. The mc3 added further visual changes, a rev counter and optional direct fuel injection, and the NRG Power introduced in 2005 changed more drastically. The mc3 and NRG Power were supplied as DT (air-cooled, rear drum), DD (liquid-cooled, double disc) and PureJet (direct injection) versions. Piaggio and Gilera also built similar models, including the Typhoon and the Storm.
