Equipment / differences
The first NRG was just a small conversion of the TPH at the beginning: There was a new front, large rims and it was cooled with water. Otherwise it was identical to the TPH.
A new rear was installed on the NRG mc², and the water-cooled version from 1998 also got a rear disc brake. In addition, the front was changed a bit. It was made a little wider and got small panes over the headlights. Due to the wider front, the inner cladding was built wider. In the NRG Extreme, there was later also the Hyper-2 block, which guaranteed more power and complied with the new emission limits. In addition, a new frame and a larger tank were installed.
The NRG mc³ was also offered in an injection variant (Purejet) with more power, and the carburetor models also received a larger carburetor with a 17.5 mm diameter from Dell'Orto and a SEBAC fork with a 220 mm brake disc at the front.
Only the optics of the NRG Power have been changed. The technology was adopted unchanged, except for small details such as the digital speedometer and rev counter. In addition, a new frame was installed, which is identical to that of the Gilera Runner except for the interior , the Runner has a strut brace in the center tunnel under the fairing.
Racing
Due to the robust motor, the scooter can be tuned very well. Since many parts such as sports exhausts , cylinders and carburettors are available from third-party manufacturers, it is very well represented in the scooter tuning scene in all classes (from street to high-end).
In addition to the NRG, its smaller brother, the ZIP , is also very popular in motorsport, as it is also very light and agile and, above all, has the reliable power of the Hyper-2 block. Most racing teams in the DSSC rely on the Piaggio block, as this has the greatest performance. The Piaggio vehicles are also extremely popular in the EST .
