Eurogrip Bee range: high-performance tyres for every scooter rider

Bee Connect: BEEst for the City…and BEEyond!

Launched at the end of 2021, Bee Connect was the first tyre developed at Eurogrip’s Italian R&D center. Just a few years later, the distinctive yellow bee on its sidewall can be spotted on many scooters on the road.

With a range of 55 sizes, covering almost the entire scooter market in Europe (and beyond), Bee Connect stands out for its exceptional versatility.

Key Features:

  • Superior grip on various surfaces
    Designed for both urban and country riding, Bee Connect offers outstanding traction thanks to a combination of advanced technologies:
  • A balanced silica compound enhances chemical adhesion on wet surfaces, whether in hot or cold conditions.
  • Variable-radius profiles and x-ply synthetic fiber structures maximize the contact patch, ensuring more rubber on the road for better grip.
  • The tread pattern efficiently disperses water while also enhancing mechanical grip on irregular asphalt, cobblestones, and other challenging surfaces.
  • Enhanced comfort and shock absorption
    The x-ply structure and sidewall geometry effectively dampen road irregularities, reducing vibrations and increasing overall vehicle stability for a smoother ride.
  • High Mileage and Consistent Performance
    Specific chemical elements within the compound reduce material wear, while an optimized mixing process ensures uniform dispersion of these components within the polymer matrix. This results in even tread wear and long-lasting performance.
  • Agility and Predictability in Turns
    Profile geometry and finely tuned textile fibers improve handling, making the scooter more agile in traffic while also providing stability on winding roads. The smooth transition between leaning and upright positions helps riders maintain full control, especially when making sudden maneuvers to avoid obstacles like potholes or other vehicles.

These features make Bee Connect the ideal travel companion for all types of scooter riders—from beginners on their first two-wheeler to daily commuters who ride in all weather conditions, as well as those who use their scooters for short, medium or long-distance journeys.

Bee Connect UHP & Bee Classy: Expanding the Bee Family

To meet the diverse needs of scooter riders, Eurogrip has expanded the Bee range with two additional tyres, each tailored for specific riding styles.

A sportier version of the Bee Connect, the Bee Connect UHP is designed for adrenaline lovers who demand superior dry grip and responsive handling.

Key Features:

  • High-adhesive Carbon Black compound for enhanced chemical grip on dry asphalt.
  • High-quality polyester structure, improving tyre responsiveness and feedback.
  • Balanced profile for increased precision and control when leaning into corners.


The latest addition to the Bee family, Bee Classy combines timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, classic 10” wheels scooters.

Key Features:

  • Balanced chemicals compound, ensuring reliable grip on both wet and dry roads.
  • Optimized tread pattern geometry for efficient water dispersal and strong mechanical grip on uneven surfaces.
  • Durable textile structure and advanced compound formulation for extended tyre lifespan and improved wear resistance.

With these three models, the Bee range offers the perfect solution for every type of scooter rider: from those looking for a balanced, all-around performer (Bee Connect), to sport-oriented users seeking maximum grip and responsiveness (Bee Connect UHP), to riders who value a stylish yet robust commuting option (Bee Classy).

Developed by Eurogrip’s Italian R&D team, the entire Bee range is the result of extensive research into compounds and structural materials. This ensures optimal performance on challenging urban surfaces, such as worn asphalt, cobblestones, and paving stones. The state-of-the-art materials testing laboratory played a key role in achieving ambitious grip targets for both dry and wet conditions.

A rigorous testing process—conducted in laboratories, test tracks, and public roads—allowed Eurogrip to select the best prototype, delivering the perfect balance of dynamic performance, durability, and even tread wear.
