The 300 S, or Scarabeo 300 Special, took the larger Scarabeo chassis and dressed it more sportily, with darker colour schemes and a 16-inch front / 14-inch rear wheel pairing instead of the classic tall wheels at both ends. Power comes from Piaggio's injected 278 cc QUASAR single, giving it noticeably more urge than the 200 while staying light enough for city use. It was launched for 2009 and 2013 marks the end of its run.
