Piaggio holds press and public test ride events

Piaggio UK is holding test ride events to give the public the chance to try out the models in its five brands and a chance for the press to remind themselves what the range has to offer.

On Thursday, 20 August, the Italian manufacturer is holding a riding day for the press at the Super Sausage Café, Potterspury, Northants NN12 7QD, where there will be a variety of bikes and scooters with a view to a longer subsequent test. 

“In addition to this year’s hot new models, we have many bikes and scooters that may have slipped your minds in recent times and we’d like to rectify that by inviting you, the press, and your colleagues to a special event,” the invitation reads.

Breakfast will be provided.

Piaggio says it has had positive responses to its bikes and scooters.
