4 Piaggio and Vespa scooters for A2 license holders

On January 19, 2013, the new A2 motorcycle and scooter license will only give access to certain models. Here is the list of new Piaggio and Vespa scooters corresponding to category A2: no more than 35 kW and a power / weight ratio less than 0.2 kW / kg.

January 19, 2013 marks a turning point in the history of the motorcycle license: as part of European harmonization, the A license undergoes changes that Site readers – who, as everyone knows, are a little more fortunate than others – already know by heart (read).

The creation of an intermediate category called A2 (between the A1 125 cc license and the A license) is the main novelty. It is "motorcycles with or without sidecar of a power not exceeding 35 kilowatts and whose power / weight ratio does not exceed 0.2 kilowatt per kilogram. Power cannot result from restraining a vehicle developing more than twice its power".

At Piaggio (and Vespa!), Four new models meet the standards of this new A2 category that young motorcyclists will have to attend for two years, before taking the "real" license A training course if they wish. the list.
