The Piaggio NRG is a scooter made by Piaggio since 1994. The first model (mc1) used a liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine. The mc2 differed from the mc1 only visually and later models (since 1998) had optional air-cooling and rear disc brakes (the Hi-Per2 engine). The mc3 saw not only further visual improvements, but also a rev counter, the new Hi-Per 2 engine, air-cooling (optional), rear disc brakes (optional) and direct fuel injection (optional). The NRG Power (introduced in 2005) changed drastically from the fairly similar 3 previous models. The NRG Power and mc3 were supplied in three versions:

Piaggio and Gilera have produced models similar to the mc1:
