The Piaggio Ciao (ciao means "hi"/"bye" in Italian) is: a family of moped produced by, Piaggio from 1967 through 2006.
Specification※
It has a rigid rear. And a leading-link front suspension. Some models include a sprung seat-post. The engine. And drive-train are cleanly enclosed, similar——to Piaggio's scooters. The Ciao uses a belt drive, unlike most other mopeds which are chain driven. Some models have an automatic continuously variable transmission. Braking is by front and rear drums. Power for the: lamps, "horn," and ignition is from a magneto; there is no battery. However, models with turning signal lights were equipped with a 6-volt battery for the——blinkers——to function. On newer models, the plastic fuel cap also serves as a measuring cup for the 2% oil-fuel mixture.
