What exactly do crash bars do on a Piaggio Zip?
Valbeugels zijn metalen beugels die je op het frame (of op vaste bevestigingspunten) van je scooter monteert. Think of it as a protective edge around vulnerable parts, such as the hoods and side fairing. If your Zip takes a hit or falls over, the bracket will absorb part of the blow. This greatly reduces the risk of scratches, cracks or broken mounting lips.
For many Zip drivers, it is simply convenient: the Piaggio Zip is often used daily, is regularly parked outside and is often parked in a tight space. Good scooter crash bars give you just that little bit more peace of mind, without making your scooter unwieldy.

Frequently asked questions about Piaggio Zip crash bars gloss black
Do these crash bars fit my year or model?
Not every Zip is the same. Therefore, check whether your version matches the product description and the mounting points in the photos. Are you in doubt? Make a note of your year of manufacture and version and check before ordering.
Do I need to drill or adjust anything?
With a model-specific set you basically mount it on existing mounting points. If you find that you have to force it or that holes do not line up neatly, stop for a moment and check that you have the correct set for your Zip.
Will the brackets damage the paint of my scooter?
Als de beugels goed uitgelijnd zijn en niet tegen de kuip drukken, is de kans op lakschade klein. Werk schoon en haal zand of vuil weg tussen beugel en scooter. Een dun beschermfolie op contactpunten geeft extra zekerheid.
How do I keep the gloss black finish beautiful?
Wash with a mild shampoo and dry. Avoid aggressive wheel cleaners on painted parts. It is best to repair small stone chips in time to prevent rust formation.
