Piaggio 296754 Grey Footrest Mat – Free 50 and Free 125 (1992-2003)

The Piaggio 296754 footrest mat is the grey covering that protects the footrest of the Piaggio Free, the surface where the rider places their feet. It is an original Piaggio Group spare part, pre-shaped: it replaces the old one without any cutting or adapting. The upper side has a rough non-slip texture; the back is ribbed in a grid pattern, with three raised centering points (observed from product photographs).

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio – official code 296754, the exact shape for the Free footrest
• Non-slip texture – the rough surface provides grip even with wet shoes (observed from product photographs)
• Just place it – no cutting, no adapting, no glue needed
• Changes the look of the scooter – on the Free, the mat is the largest part visible from above: if it's worn or faded, it's more noticeable than any scratch
• Restoration part – for a thirty-year-old scooter, it's one of the few parts still available new and original

Technical specifications

Vehicle compatibility

⚠️ It is specific for the Free: the footrests of Vespa, Liberty, Zip and Ciao have a different shape and use other codes.

When to change it

When the non-slip texture is worn out in the center – where the heels rest – and the surface has become smooth and shiny: at that point, in the rain, your foot will slip, and this is not just an aesthetic detail. Or when the mat has faded in the sun, hardened, or started to crack at the edges. It's inexpensive, takes a minute to change, and on the Free, it's the most visible part.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need to be glued?
No. It sits on the footrest: it is pre-shaped and stays in place by itself.

Is it one piece or two?
It is one single piece, covering the entire footrest – not two separate mats.

Does it require screws or studs?
The package contains the mat only. If yours had fixing studs, reuse them.

Does it fit my Vespa?
No. It is specific for the Piaggio Free. Vespa, Liberty, Zip, and Ciao have differently shaped footrests.

How do you clean it?
Remove it and rinse with water. If the texture is encrusted, a soft brush and neutral soap are sufficient: no solvents, which dry out the rubber.
