While the agility of this maxi-scooter does quite well in city traffic — the four-stroke, four-valve engine with electronic injection and liquid cooling also makes the BV Tourer 500 a breeze to ride on long distance trips. And with the exclusive Piaggio integral braking system — riders can make sudden stops with ease. Two double acting hydraulic shock absorbers with four spring preload settings and 35 millimeter hydraulic telescopic forks make the BV Tourer one of the safest and smoothest rides yet. Large, 16-inch, wide-profile front tires with 14-inch tires in the rear provide top-notch stability and safety — important when you can travel at a top speed of 95 miles per hour. The waterproof seat, halogen headlamp, and anti-theft steering column lock carry the BV Tourer 500 to the top of the maxi-scooter pack .
