2011 Aprilia Scarabeo 300 Special Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2011 Aprilia Scarabeo 300 Special scooter motorcycle, Aprilia relies on a 278.3 cc (17 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.4 HP (12 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 58.9 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

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 1,530 mm (60.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
