The consumers are allowed to return the scooter to participating dealers after 365 days of testing if they decide they don’t fit the two-wheeld lifestyle. However, Piaggio officials are convinced that newcomers to the scooters community will make the two-wheeld ride a permanent addition to their transportation fleet.
"It’s our mission to remove any roadblocks keeping even more Americans from discovering just how much money and time they can save, and how much fun they can have, by adding two wheels to their garage,” said Paolo Timoni, President and CEO, Piaggio Group Americas.
“The economic, environmental and lifestyle benefits of scooters are proven on a daily basis in major markets around the globe, and we think this hassle-free introduction to scooter ownership is a risk-free way for U.S. consumers to take a trial membership in our American scooter nation.”
Enthusiasts are able to choose from the Piaggio FLY 50, Piaggio FLY 150, Piaggio BV Tourer 250 and the Piaggio MP3 250. Other models involved in the process include the Vespa S 50, Vespa LX 150, Vespa GTS 300 Super or the Aprilia Sportcity 50, Aprilia Sportcity 125, Aprilia Scarabeo 100 and Aprilia Scarabeo 200.
To take advantage of Piaggio’s 12 month test ride, there are some terms and conditions to comply with. Therefore, you have to qualify for a 36-month closed-end financial term, offered exclusively through Sheffield Financial.
Moreover, the risk-free return guarantee requires the completion of 12 scheduled loan payments and excludes upfront license, vehicle preparation, freight and tax fees as well as a 10% down payment based on the vehicle’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price. Purchases must be completed by July 31, 2009.
