The Piaggio Ciao (ciao means hi in Italian) is a family of inexpensive mopeds produced by Piaggio from 1967 through 2006. It has a rigid rear suspension 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.
