Are you planning to perform your Iget Piaggio scooter and do you not know which ECU you need? Then you are here in the right place!

Euro 4 ECU for Piaggio Zip (2018 - 2020)
Do you have a Piaggio Zip from the year 2018 to 2020? Then you have a scooter that falls under the Euro 4 emission standard. This means you have a Euro 4 unlimited ECU need to be able to perform your scooter. An important feature of the Piaggio Zip in these years is the thin of the exhaust. This type of engine management system is specifically designed for the Euro 4 scheme and offers the right coordination for optimum power. Also pay attention when ordering whether you have a 50cc or an 80cc cylinder, with a standard scooter this is 50cc.
The Euro 4 ECU is necessary for the correct functioning of your scooter, especially if you plan to tune your scooter or improve performance. With a Euro 4 system you can count on good coordination between performance and the environmental standards that were in force during this period.
Euro 5 ECU for Piaggio Zip (2021 - present)
From the year 2021, the Piaggio Zip has switched to the Euro 5 emission standard. This means that you have a Euro 5 ECU If you intend to improve the performance of your scooter. With the Euro 5 version of the Piaggio Zip you notice an important difference: the bite of the exhaust. This thicker front sort ensures a different coordination and ensures that the engine meets the stricter Euro 5 requirements for lower emissions and better performance.

The Euro 5 ECU offers the possibility to coordinate the engine management in such a way that your scooter delivers the maximum performance, without making concessions to the environmental standards that apply since 2021. This makes the choice for the right ECU essential for the preservation of both performance as the legal standards.
For Piaggio Zip before 2018: CDI instead of ECU
If you have a piaggio zip that before 2018 is produced, then your scooter will work with one CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) instead of an ECU. The CDI is a simpler ignition module that ensures the inflammation of the engine. In this case you do not need ECU to increase your scooter, since the electronic systems are much more basic than with the Euro 4 and Euro 5 models.
Do you want to perform or tun your scooter? Then it is important to know that this may require other parts with older models with a CDI than with the models with an ECU. This includes replacing the variant, carburetor or other parts that contribute to increasing performance.
