Piaggio Medley 150
Reviewer Photos & Videos
Does everything i need it to.
Purchased a 2021 Medley S a few weeks ago as I am chalking up 500km a week riding to work and back. Whilst it's a massive downgrade from my Trumpy the bike does everything I need it to do, will do 100 on the freeway which keeps me out of trouble but thrives in the 60-80km range, also nimble enough to get me through major roadworks a bit faster. Great fuel economy even with 125kg on it. Brakes and halogen lights both work very well and dash is awesome. As most others stated it has ample room under the seat and a shopping hook which comes in handy when I stop to get some groceries on the way home. It's not going to win any speed awards but overall a great bike.
Purchased in February 2022 for $6,600.

Good scooter, limited top speed.
I have a well kept fully serviced Medley150cc here in Australia. The Build quality, acceleration, space under seat are all very good. The one big thing it falls down is top speed. It has almost 11kw and it will not exceed 100kph. I checked with the Piaggio dealer Scooter Central where I purchased it from and the technician advised that is about it’s top speed. Very disappointing and will stick with my older 150cc that will sit on 110kph for my short stints on motorways.
Purchased in September 2021.

Piaggio Medley S - a commuter’s pleasure.
I’ve owned my Medley S for almost 3 months now and really cannot fault it as a ride. This is an easy to ride unit, with enough poke to keep you away from idiots. Brakes well, handles well, and even at freeway speeds of 90+ it feels stable and predicable. Using for my daily commute in inner city Sydney is a joy, even if I can only get 30k/litre. Riding out of the Sydney gladiatorial battle is even better.
Storage is good, haven’t needed to get a top box (yet). The first 1000k service was painless, and 10k km service intervals seem to be reasona...
Read moreble. Issues? The front ‘glovebox’ is tricky to use. Can’t really open it with the keys in (necessary to open) and closing is worse. Some engineer didn’t think that one through: we always have something attached to the key. Second is the connectivity. This scooter is advertised as having connectivity to an app and with a phone. Not in Australia it seems. Couldn’t get a straight answer from the dealer, no response from Piaggio either. Pretty cr@p if you can’t be bothered to have a local edition of your advertising brochures… Now I’m setup with a good helmet and coms, it isn’t an issue. All up, if you are after a great small scooter, you won’t go wrong with the Medley S.Purchased in April 2021 for $6,000.

Surprisingly good.
I was looking for a new 2020 150cc scooter for the urban area that had good storage space under the seat, floor carrying capacity with curry hook ie no lump between the knees and 'larger' wheels. Looked at Honda and Yamaha, but didn't meet the criteria. Medley S had it all, I took a chance dubious about being 'made in Vietnam'. Having owned many different motorcycles/scooters I was surprised the Medley is among the best, comparable to Japanese made. Robust pillion fold way footrests (unlike my previous scoot). Lights, brakes, pillion/shopping carrying, side/centre stand, paint job all good. Quick, light and nimble, quality is first class, hard to complain about anything.
Purchased in April 2020.

Unquestionably the best small scooter on the market.
I purchased my Medley S in march 2019 as a support to my 500cc scooter mainly for shorter trips and fuel economy. The medley has exceeded my expectations. Mine is standard except for a Shad 34 litre top box which I rarely use as there is so much space under the seat. The seat release is well placed easy to use and promotes use of the space beneath meaning that I rarely leave my helmet and gloves on the seat when away from the bike. My fuel consumption has been consistent at 40ks to the litre even allowing for the occasional freeway blast where ...
Read moreeven with my 103 kilo weight on board 100kph is easily achieved and rock steady. The stop start function works very well although it takes some time to kick in when the weather is very cold. Lights are very good and brakes excellent. I have not needed the ABS function but its good to know its there. The scoot has a side stand and a centre stand which is rare for small scooter and is a definite safety feature. All in all the medley is a superb midrange scooter and although not the cheapest on the market well worth the money. I paid $6000 ride away which included the Top BoxPurchased in March 2019 for $6,000.

By far the best scooter I have owned.
Huge space under the seat. I can store my helmet and jacket in there easily. And can fit laptop in when I’m riding to work. It is super smooth, handles incredibly well. Nimble in traffic. Good amount of power. Easily enough to ride 2 up. Awesome build quality. And quiet as well. Very happy.

Amazing unit.
An incredible piece of automotive engineering. Perfect in the city, returning 40km/L, while the real surprise is that it is capable of touring; holding a constant 110km/hr and returning a respectable minimum of 22km/L. I've crossed the Nullarbor twice on this scooter, much to the bemusement of 4 wheel drivers.
Some of the good points:
No screen is required.
No top box is required.
You can strap cartons/items onto the back easily.
There is enough poke from the lights.
The Engine stop tech is genius (why you would choose to turn it off with a...

Well built and good performing metro commuter.
Took out a Piaggio Medley for ride home in peak hour Adelaide traffic.
Being a two wheeled enthusiast, I've always admired the practical advantage a scooter has over a bike for commuting.
I'm still not 100% sure if a scooter is necessarily a lot cheaper than a motorbike. Servicing cost for the Piaggio Fly was quoted to me at $265 for the 1000km service, $365 for the 6000km service and around $600 for a major service incl. belts etc. I gave you the Fly cost because the Medley is newer and they couldn't give me figures as they haven't serviced...
Questions & Answers
I own a piaggio medley 150s for the last 4 months i have had overheating issues and nobody is able to tell me what the problem is .Its had a new water pump installed still nothing is been in the workshop 3 times but the problem is still there ? Any suggestions what my next step could be ? Could it be fuel mixture problem ??
Sorry I never had this problem with my Medley S
Never had a problem. Take it to a different workshop.
If the scooter is under warranty take it back and demand they fix it. Do not accept no for an answer.
If not - it is only your cooling system to look at. Anyone else tells you differently, go elsewhere. ...
Read more Is the pump works, check hoses for flow, radiator for blockages, and after that it will dismantling and flushing all the way through The engine ports. Failing that - consumer statutory guarantee will see you go back to the manufacturer and demand the goods are fit for purpose. Just don’t fall for crap.Where is Medley 150 built? Italy or Asia ??
