The Piaggio Medley 125 S is cleverly positioned in the urban scooter segment. Compared to the direct Japanese competition, it offers more in one respect: storage space under the seat. With a massive 36 litres, the storage compartment can easily hold two full-face helmets - a value we otherwise only knew from large scooters. While driving, it makes a good impression, but if you are in a hurry at the traffic lights, the start-stop system should be deactivated.
