Benelli Velvet Scooter

Velvet 150 Scooter

A fine example of motorcycle design, skilfully mixing custom-style chrome inserts and cafe-racer details, where the two headlights proudly scan the surrounding world and side air intakes, in true aeronautical style, are real eye-catchers.

VELVET 150 has everything to arouse the envy and admiration of all, and, above all, to thrill you with its top handling - whatever the conditions! This scooter is a pleasure to ride - just like a true motorcycle - because riding pleasure is the first goal to be achieved, on a Benelli.

The low weight of the vehicle combined with its outstanding frame and fork design offer gratifying performance, very easy handling and riding in traffic.

VELVET 150 has a modern, developed engine, with liquid cooling and single-shaft distribution.

Its absolutely innovatory line will amaze - but with class, it exploits an exclusive patent for adjusting the headlight beam angle (without having to get off) and an absolutely fantastic instrument panel.

It's a sure success, and is designed to fully meet the needs of those seeking a substitute for the car, both in and out of town.

The double headiight always stays on, both in the high-beam and low-beam position, in order to avoid the "one-eyed" effect typical of certain big-bore machines.

There's also the ventilation system, with air drawn into the front part of the fairing and conveyed towards the radiator along the sides of the fuel tank, situated under the footboard and featuring a special horizontal "V" shape that converts into an aerodynamic duct.

The saddle has two levels with true sports styling. The turn signals are detached from the vehicle, just like on true motorcycles. The headlight is brand-new in design and the electrical controls feature an extremely practical use.

Available in silver and yellow.
