Built around Piaggio's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2017 Piaggio Beverly 300 relies on a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21 HP (15.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22.5 Nm (16.6 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 75.5 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
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 supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
