Piaggio XEVO 400ie

I have been riding this scooter for just over five years. It has a fuel injected single cylinder four stroke engine with twist and go transmission. On the motorway it can cruise at 70 mph with no stress and returns 78 to 80 miles per gallon. I had a few days in West Cumbria on it a couple of years ago.  As well as doing some family history research in Whitehaven I visited the coast at St. Bees.

A visit to Setmurthy Churchyard where my third great grandfather is buried was followed by rides over Whinlatter,  Honister passes and the Struggle from Ambleside to the top of Kirkstone Pass.

The last time I rode two wheels  up those passes it was on the Super Lenton bicycle and took a lot more effort.
