Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Aprilia Scarabeo 250 utilizes a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 60.0 mm (2.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Scarabeo 250 measures 169 kg (373 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,415 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
