The 2007 Scarabeo 50 was a gentle refresh of the big-wheeled city scooter Aprilia had been selling since 1993, bringing an LED tail light, revised front lamp and indicators, a new front shield, fresh instruments and new wheels. The four-stroke version also got a more sloping tail and a new seat. Its 16-inch wheels and steel double-cradle frame give it a steadier, more motorcycle-like feel on rough city streets than small-wheeled 50s, while the frugal OHC single suits short urban trips.
