Piaggio Beverly 310: The Scooter That’s Technologically Advanced... for Grocery Runs

Italian scooter maestros Piaggio have unveiled their Beverly 310 for 2025, now with a Euro5+ compliant engine and more bells and whistles than your average smartphone. This A2-license-friendly, urban commuter comes with a bigger 310cc single-cylinder engine, supposedly tailored for city work and the occasional countryside jaunt—because nothing says “adventure” like a scooter loaded with groceries.

The Upgrades You’ve Been Waiting For

For 2025, the Beverly climbs up from 278cc to a brawnier 310cc, with Piaggio claiming that over 70% of its internal parts are brand new. Highlights include:

• Crankcases: Because apparently, the old ones just couldn’t handle that extra displacement.
• Injector and Starting System: Vital improvements to make sure your scooter starts without drama, as long as you didn’t drain the battery charging your phone in that USB port.

The result? A "whopping" 27.3bhp. Enough power for zipping through traffic, carrying a pillion, or... slightly less uphill whining.

Tech Goodies for the Urban Warrior

Piaggio hasn’t held back on practical tech for the Beverly 310. It’s almost as if they’re preparing you for a post-apocalyptic commute:

• LED Lighting: Bright enough to illuminate both the potholes and your existential crisis.
• 5.5” LCD Dash: Perfect for monitoring speed, fuel, and whatever philosophical questions arise during your ride.
• ABS-Equipped Disc Brakes: Safety first—because stopping is just as important as starting, especially when avoiding rogue delivery scooters.

Storage and Comfort Features That Will Blow Your Mind

The Beverly’s coup de grâce is its relentless focus on convenience:

• Underseat Storage with Light: Spacious enough for a modular helmet or your existential baggage.
• Top Box Options: Choose between a 36L or 52L box, depending on whether you’re hauling groceries or your entire life.
• Heated Seat and Grips (Optional): So you can be warm while pondering why you didn’t just buy a car.
• Retractable Bag Hook and Glove Compartment with USB: Carry your takeout and charge your phone simultaneously. Truly groundbreaking.

Chassis and Suspension: Built for Comfort... Sort Of

The Beverly 310’s tubular steel double-cradle frame sits on:

• 35mm Showa Conventional Forks: Not upside-down, because let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
• Five-Stage Preload Adjustable Twin Shocks: Enough adjustability to pretend you’re tackling urban terrain like a motocross rider.
• 16-inch Front and 14-inch Rear Seven-Spoke Rims: For that perfect blend of style and “meh” performance.

Style Over Substance?

Available as a standard Beverly or the slightly fancier Beverly S model, Piaggio’s new scooter comes in four oh-so-Italian color schemes:

• Grigio Mercurio: For when you want to blend into urban smog.
• Nero Meteora: The “edgy” choice.
• Verde Jungle: For pretending your commute is a safari.
• Blu Zaffiro: Because sapphire sounds way fancier than blue.

Is It Worth It?

The Beverly 310 positions itself as the go-to choice for urban dwellers who want a touch of luxury while dodging buses. With its 310cc engine, practical features, and heated everything, it’s an enticing offer for those who dream of blending comfort with a scooter’s practicality.

Still, with all these features, you’ll likely question if a scooter is really where you want to spend your hard-earned cash. Because at the end of the day, it’s still just a glorified shopping cart with wheels. But hey, at least it’ll look good on Instagram
