At the heart of the 2021 Piaggio Beverly 300 hpe scooter motorcycle, Piaggio utilizes a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 26 HP (19 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 25.8 Nm (19 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 93.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Beverly 300 hpe measures 173.5 kg (383 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,535 mm (60.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.46 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 361 km (224 miles) between fill-ups.
