Piaggio X7

The Piaggio X7 is a maxi-scooter from the Italian maker Piaggio. The European version was built from 2007 to 2012 with water-cooled engines of 125, 250, 300 and 400 cc, using the Leader and Quasar engine families in carburettor and fuel-injected form, all meeting Euro 3. It had large wheels, a comfortable bench seat and an under-seat compartment big enough for a full-face helmet and a jet helmet. After weak sales Piaggio launched a restyled X7 Evo in June 2009 with a new headlight in the style of the rest of the X range and, for the top model, a 300 cc four-valve injected Quasar engine of 16.4 kW. In March 2021 a re-engineered X7 with a 244 cc engine was presented in China, built by the Zongshen Piaggio joint venture for the local market.
