Accessories for the Piaggio Skipper 150 2T

The Piaggio Skipper 150 2T is a scooter suited to everyday trips around town. On those journeys, you spend as much time slowing for junctions and dealing with traffic as you do riding at a steady pace. That makes the controls you use repeatedly, and the way the scooter brakes, particularly relevant when deciding what to fit. A run to work, a few errands and a short ride across town can all involve frequent stops, even if none is a long journey.

What riders usually fit to the Piaggio Skipper 150 2T

For the 1994 to 1997 years shown here, the accessories focus on brakes and levers. Both make sense for a scooter used in built-up areas, where you often have to adjust your speed and stop. They are worth considering in terms of your normal route rather than the distance on its own: a short urban journey can call for a lot of input from your hands.

• Brakes: riding between traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and busy side streets means slowing down is a regular part of the trip. Brake parts matter whether you use your Skipper 150 2T every weekday or take it out for occasional local rides. On routes with repeated stops, predictable braking helps you keep your attention on what is happening ahead rather than on managing the next junction.
• Levers: your hands meet these controls throughout the ride, particularly as you brake and manoeuvre at low speed. On the Skipper 150 2T, sound levers help keep that action familiar when you are negotiating a narrow street or joining traffic after a stop. They are a practical area to look at if you are refreshing the parts you handle most often.

Think about where your scooter spends most of its time. If that means city streets and short, stop-start trips, brakes and levers are a sensible place to focus when looking over the accessories available for it.
